Gentle Care for Delicate Fabrics

Most delicate fabrics like cashmere and silk do not necessarily require dry cleaning; regular detergent can often suffice. Using a mesh bag and a gentle cycle expands options for cleaning. For hand washing, a no-rinse detergent called Soak is recommended, which simplifies the process. The garment can remain submerged for 15 minutes, after which pressing out the water leaves it ready to wear without worrying about rinsing. Soak lacks harmful preservatives, making it suitable for those with allergies.
