Detergent For Delicate Fabrics Like Silks, Synthetics & Blends

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.

"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!"
"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"
"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."
"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."
"I love this detergent. It smells so good."
"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."
"A wonderful product for delicates. The scent is very good. The products cleans as advertised. I just love the smell of the clothes that are laundered in this product."
"smells amazing!"
"I’ve been very happy with The Laundress products, but what surprised me most is that they’ve made garment care something I actually enjoy. Laundry is one of those things we all have to do regularly, and The Laundress turns it from a chore into a ritual. The scents are beautiful without being overpowering, the packaging is thoughtful, and the products make caring for special fabrics feel a little more intentional. The standout product for me has been the Stain Solution. I used it on a pair of white sneakers that I hadn’t been able to get truly clean with other products and methods. After treating them with the Stain Solution and a brush, they looked noticeably brighter and cleaner. It was one of the first times I felt a laundry product genuinely exceeded my expectations. I’ve also enjoyed the Wool & Cashmere Shampoo in Cedar, which has become my go-to for wool garments. The scent is warm and refined, and it leaves fabrics feeling fresh without being harsh. The Marine fragrance is another favorite—clean, crisp, and elegant. One unexpected benefit is that these products have encouraged me to take better care of the fabrics I love most. For example, I used to toss my merino wool socks in with the rest of the laundry. Now I often hand wash them alongside other delicates, and they come out noticeably softer, loftier, and more comfortable to wear. The fabric and room sprays have been a pleasant surprise as well. They add a light, fresh scent to clothing, linens, and rooms, and I’ve found myself reaching for them more often than I expected. Overall, The Laundress products have made me more attentive to the clothing and textiles I already own. They aren’t inexpensive, but for me they’ve added both enjoyment and effectiveness to a task I have to do anyway. If you appreciate beautiful fabrics and thoughtful fragrance, they’re well worth exploring."
