Washing Techniques

Most washing machines offer a delicate or hand-wash setting, but there are times when the best results will come from hand-washing certain types of clothing. Always check the care label for
directions. If the label says "dry-clean only," avoid washing it at home. If the label says "dry-clean," you may want to try hand-washing. Before you wash the garment, check a small inconspicuous area first to make sure the fabric is colorfast.

Items such as delicate lingerie, wool sweaters, and silk blouses may retain their color and shape best when washed by hand. Silk garments should not be hand-washed if they are brightly colored, patterned, or darkly colored, as the dyes may bleed.
