Washing Delicates

FOR HANDWASHING: • If the item is stained: pre-treat the area with The Laundress Stain Solution or use The Laundress Lady Wash & Stain Bar. • Pour room temperature water into a basin with the item(s) to wash. • Add a few squirts of The Laundress Delicate Wash or one capful. • Use your hands to agitate the water and detergent. • Let soak for ½ hour (we do not recommend soaking silk for longer). • To rinse, run room temperature water into the basin until soapy water is gone.

• Lay towel over flat surface and place item on the towel making sure it is completely flat.

• Roll the item up in the towel (like a rolling pin) to remove excess water.

*To speed up the drying process, use more than one towel and repeat several times.

• Lay item flat on a drying rack, a towel, or hang to dry.

• Some items may need to be steamed after washing.
