The best way to wash delicates is to use Woolite. Follow the instructions on the package. If your machine is in good condition and has a delicates cycle then it will likely do a better job than you would hand washing (and it will save you time!). Make sure you have the proper amount of water and soap because too much or too little will end up ruining your garments.Is hand washing really a lot more delicate on clothes than using the delicate cycle on your washer?
I always hand wash my molded cup bras. The washing machine will tear them up no matter what. I just soak them for a few minutes in either Woolite or cheap shampoo ( it's a terrific grease cutter just make sure there are no conditioners, etc in it ). I rinse them in water to which a I add a few drops of perfume and then hang to air dry. They keep their shape and last longer.
Yes washing by hand is easier on your very good clothes just don't wring them, gently squeeze them out. And I guess you can add fabric softener if you want to but check your label in the items you are washing because sometimes you cant use softener.
Hand washing is not nearly as thorough as machine washing on delicate short cycle.





If you want to hand wash, be sure to rinse very well, and use liquid fabric softener.





Fabric softener ALWAYS goes in the final rinse water.
Yes washing by hand is betteer because with top loader wash machine slowest agitation can start to rip a hole but some material would be okay in wash machine as along as it does not have yard,lace,wool and silk
yes. fill a bucket with warm/cold (whatever the tag says) and add detergent and softener. let sit for 3-4 hours, rinse thouroughly by hand, and line dry
may be delicate however don't think it would be cleaner
