Gentle wash

Hands down... hand washing your precious & delicate clothes is the best way to clean them. There are many benefits to taking good care of your clothes. The most obvious is that they'll last longer. Secondly, it could save you money by not having to spend $ on dry cleaning or machine washing (when that's an option). But something more subtle happens when you hand wash them... you feel with your hands that you're taking good care of them... you handle them with care. This, my friends, helps you appreciate them. And that feeling will transfer to when you wear them out. It's a great cycle! (no pun intended)

As you can see in the video, all you need is a basin, water, a cleanser, and a towel. In terms of cleansers, there are several options. Of course, many swear by Woolite, but now there are many eco-friendly products if you're into the "green thing". Personally, I use Ecover and it works great!

Happy washing!
