Washing Delicates

We all have some clothes that really should be hand washed. Seriously, most of the time, who has the time? Most washing machines now are gentle enough that with the proper preparation, you should be able to wash in the machine with out damage.

First treat any stains that you might see.

Next, make sure that all snaps and/or hooks are fastened.

Place extra gentle items into a mesh bag or old pillowcase to protect them.

Place in the washing machine and set the temperature for the items. Add about 1/4 of the regular amount of detergent.

Turn on the machine to wash for the gentle cycle. When it is done washing remove the delicates and lay them out to dry.
