Why dry clean when you can take exceptional care of your fine fabrics at home with this specially formulated wash? The Laundress Delicate Wash was designed without enzymes to provide a gentle clean for items that require a little more care like lingerie, undergarments, sleepwear and evening wear. Perfect for cold water laundering delicate fabrics such as silks, synthetics, and blends, and now double concentrated, use it to hand or machine wash when suitable for a beautiful clean on delicate items. Scented in Lady, with soft notes of bergamot, ylang-ylang, gardenia, and a whisper of musk.

Before use, test delicate fabrics in an inconspicuous spot for color bleeding and water reactions. Not all garments perform and react as textile science would predict. Check out our Care Tag Guide for personalized fabric care tips.

Pair with The Laundress Delicate Spray for a sensorial, start-to-finish laundering experience.

Reviews

Stain remover

"This product is awesome as I got yr old stains out of my Rothy’s. Love the scent, too. Laundry soap is great, too!"

Anne S. (5/5)

Perfection

"I’m obsessed with Laundress products. The way my delicates came out clean, soft, and the most beautiful hint of laundered freshness. Another product for the win!"

Will M. (1/5)

Dirty wedding dress?

"I have used the delicate wash on my delicates for years, as well as the spray. When I purchased my wedding dress (tulle and lace) , it was a sample so had been tried on by many brides. I filled up my bathtub, added about 4 capfuls and dropped it in! I never in my WILDEST dreams thought I would be laundering a Monique Lhuillier(!!!!) wedding dress in my bath tub, but here we are! After soaking about an hour and agitating with my hands, I carefully also used the stain solution and got hand washing. 4 rinses later, my dress came out perfectly white and smelling amazing. Lady is the best scent, SO gentle on fabric and will be my go-to forever. Trust me, it worked on my wedding dress, it will work on your delicates"

Katie (5/5)

Perfect for delicates

"I trust this formula with my delicate items including silk and I truly enjoy the scent. The scent is nice and light, not overwhelming. I am on my third bottle and will buy again. Would by a larger size if it was offered."

Allison S. (5/5)

Fragrance

"The fragrances especially of Signature and Delicate are superb. After cancer treatment and therapy many years ago, my one legacy was a problem with odors, smells, etc. These products are terrific."

Anita C. (5/5)

"I love this detergent. It smells so good."

Krystal (5/5)

Great for silks

"There’s really nothing about this. I dislike I use it for all my silks and I will often do a full load with the same detergent and just put my delicates in the laundry bag."

Alyssa (5/5)

Q&A

Can this also be used on cashmere in a pinch?
Hi Patricia - Thank you for reaching out! Both the Delicate Wash and Wool & Cashmere Shampoo are free of enzymes that can potentially compromise the sensitive fibers in delicates and knits. They are both safe suitable for use on cashmere. Ingredient-wise, please note that the difference between these two formulas is the scents, as each was carefully crafted to complement the specific washing experience of the fabrics.
What is the ph of this detergent?
Hello! The pH is 8.5 - 8.9.
I love this detergent, but my dermatologist is insisting I switch to a fragrance free detergent. PLEASE make a fragrance free version of the delicate wash.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We will be sure to pass this along. In the meantime, we recommend our Fragrance Free Baby Detergent for your every day clothes!
Can it be used in a high efficiency washer?
Hello! Yes our products can be used in HE machines.
