The Laundress Delicate Wash

Well, actually there is. I picked up this Hot How-To from the pages of the March 2007 issue of Lucky magazine, courtesy of luxe lingerie designer Araks Yeramyan. Fill a 1-gallon glass jar 3/4 full of tepid water and then add 1/2 a capful of extra gentle detergent. Araks suggests Ecover Delicate Wash, but I love The Laundress Delicate Wash-- it's super gentle and just about the closest thing you'll find to luxury laundry products. Now, add up to 5 pieces of lingerie, screw the lid on tight, and shake, shake, shake. I like to then let the whole mess soak for 10 minutes or so, and then shake, shake, shake again. Rinse by dumping the dirty water, adding fresh cold water, and then repeating the shake, shake, shake until the water runs clear and suds-free. It's the world's most gentle washing machine. The best part? Your hands stay dry and there's no squeezing required!
