GUIDE TO SORTING LAUNDRY

Once you master laundry symbols and stain removal the next step to successful laundering is sorting. Properly sorting your laundry can prevent common issues like lint, color bleed, color fade and bleach marks that can damage or destroy fabrics.

GUIDE TO HAND-WASHING LAUNDRY

Nothing beats the convenience of a laundry machine, but some fabrics are best left hand-washed to prevent them from damage and deterioration.

Use our guide to determine what items demand hand-washing and how to effectively clean and dry them.
