What Laundry Items Should Only Be Hand Washed?
What Laundry Items Should Only Be Hand Washed?
Delicate, Dainty, And Fragile Fabrics
Hand washing is a must for fabrics include silk, lace, cashmere, and wool. These fabrics require special care, as they can easily lose their shape, shrink, or get damaged in the washing machine. Swishing fabrics in a warm, soapy bath can help preserve their unique textures, shapes, and colors. However, because these items are delicate, they shouldn’t be wrung or twisted. Trust our team at Mr. Fresh to gently release this excess water.
Beaded, Embroidered, And Sequined Garments
These items have delicate embellishments that can easily get damaged or fall off in the washing machine. Hand washing allows for a more precise and gentle touch to ensure everything on these items remain intact. At Mr. Fresh, we take extra care to make sure your clothes are in excellent condition when they come out of the basin.
Undergarments And Intimates
Items such as bras, panties, and lingerie should never go in the washing machine, as the heat and tumbling can cause damage to the delicate fabrics, as well as to the elastic and hooks. It’s also important to note that undergarments and intimates should not be washed with other items, as the fabrics can easily become tangled and torn. To ensure the best care for these items, we recommend hand washing. Trust our team to provide the special care to maintain their shape and elasticity.
Leather, Suede, And Fur Items
Only some items are designed to withstand the heat and tumbling of customary laundry machines. Items made of fur, leather, or suede are not in that group. Hand washing is the only way to preserve the luxurious texture and look of these items. This is because the water is kept at a much lower temperature than that of a washing machine and the agitation is much more gentle. With our hand washing services, these items will look and feel like new.
When it comes to keeping valuable pieces of your wardrobe in top condition, hand wash laundry is the way to go! Whether you’re washing clothes manually or opting for a delicates wash, the gentle swishing and tender care will make your clothes sing with joy. Give Mr. Fresh a call and let us take the dirty work off your hands.
