The Delicates Cycle
A delicate wash or “hand wash” cycle is the machine equivalent to handwashing! This cycle uses warm or cold water with low or no spin. It's typically the shortest and most gentle cleaning cycle, and the low or no-spin allows for minimal fabric agitation.
A: Woolite At Home Dry Cleaner gently removes odors, stains and wrinkles from dry clean only, special care clothing and difficult to clean household items. Woolite is safe for use on most fabrics, including silk, rayon, cotton, cashmere, wool, nylon, linen, polyester, acetate and many other fabrics.
A: When stored properly, Woolite At Home Dry Cleaner does not expire. As long as the cleaning cloth is moist with cleaning chemical, the product is effective.
Woolite Clean & Care, also known as Woolite Damage Defense, protects clothes from damage in the wash. It does not cause shrinking or fading, and protects clothes from pilling or stretching. Woolite Delicates is a hypoallergenic formula and is designed for true delicates like silk and wool.
The delicate wash cycle uses high levels of cold water and a low spin speed for carefully tending to undergarments and delicate fabrics that need to be handled with care, like lace, lingerie, or silk neckties. Specialty items like electric blankets or stuffed animals may also benefit from a delicate wash.

Lighter Liquid Detergent
Oftentimes, lighter laundry detergents will be softer on delicate laundry. Charlie's Laundry Liquid is one of our favorite lightweight laundry detergents. It's hypoallergenic detergent is free of parabens, sulfates, dyes, synthetic fragrances, phosphates, and bleach.
We recommend a cleanser that is specially formulated to clean down, such as Le Blanc Downwash. Please do not use Woolite® as it will strip the natural oils from the down clusters, or detergents with bleach. When the wash cycle is complete, wash the comforter again (gentle cycle) with no soap.
Woolite® is a laundry detergent with a sophisticated heritage. Woolite® dates back to 1951 with the introduction of the first gentle hand-wash detergent, specially formulated to protect wool, silks, nylons, and other delicate fabrics from fading, pilling, and stretching.
What Happens if You Use Expired Laundry Detergent? The good news about laundry detergent is that even with an expiration date, they aren't like food or other perishable items. Expired laundry detergents simply become less effective and fragrant over time, reducing their cleaning power.
For machine wash dose product either in the drawer or in a dosing ball.
Dry clean only clothes should not be washed in a regular washing machine as it can cause shrinkage, color bleeding, and fabric distortion. Ignoring the dry clean only instructions can lead to costly consequences such as damage that may require expensive repairs or replacement of the garment.
In those days, many clothes were made from wool, which was known to shrink in water. A professional clothes cleaner, known as a fuller, used solvents such as ammonia and lye. They also used a type of clay called fuller's earth, which excelled at absorbing dirt, sweat and grease stains.
Woolite Gentle Cycle: A gentle liquid laundry detergent for all skin types. Sparkling Falls Scent: A refreshing sparkling water scent that leaves clothes smelling clean. 75 Ounce Bottle: Provides enough detergent to wash 50 loads of laundry.
Use a Delicate cycle for lightly soiled sheer fabrics, lingerie, sweaters or blouses and pants made of wool, cashmere or silk. Lace, chiffon, beaded or embroidered materials should also be washed on a Delicate cycle along with anything recommending a “Gentle” cycle on the care tag.
Wash towels separately from the rest of your laundry. If your towels aren't cotton, avoid temperatures higher than 40°. *if you don't have a cotton program on your machine, use the 'White/Colors' cycle.
