Handling delicate fabrics like clothes can be a real bomb waiting to explode. One pull too far on the strap and your favorite silk kurta or that one of a kind jersey will turn into a crinkled nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be it office formals, party wear or even gym t-shirts<\/a>, every one of us is guilty of owning a \u201ctoo scared to wash\u201d piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if you could wash those clothes at home without damaging them, though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, you no longer have to visit the dry cleaners every week and spend thousands. With the right approach and care, or perhaps  a smart washing machine with a far too gentle touch, you can soak your clothes at home and never set foot in a dry cleaner again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Read the Label Carefully<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ignoring the wash care label is as common as misplacing a terms and conditions agreement. That rectangular piece of fabric has the potential to save your shirt. Each material has a specific care instruction – be it lace, silk, wool, chiffon or linen – the effects of water, detergent, and heat vary for each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, If the care instructions state “hand wash only” or “cold wash”, abide by them. These are the most straightforward suggestions to breathe life into your clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Organize, but Professionally<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To simply throw everything in one uncontrollable suitcase is a skill set of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it a point to divide delegates from the regular stuff. And further split delicates into lights and darks. Silk shirts should never be rubbing shoulders with heavy jeans, and to avoid this friction, delicate garments need to be stored properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get an additional wash bag or basket dedicated to delicates so you intentionally do not mix them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Use Gentle Detergents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to washing gym socks or a silk pocket square, one detergent cannot do it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose a liquid laundry detergent made specifically for fine fabrics. Powdered detergents usually tend to be more aggressive and leave residue. Liquids dissolve more readily and have a gentler cleaning action. If possible, look for something that advertises pH neutrality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, don\u2019t overdo the quantity. More detergent doesn\u2019t mean additional cleaning, rather, it means more residue will be left behind.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Cold Water Is Your Best Friend    <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
