Each bottle contains just four ingredients. No suds, just a deep clean that leaves your Airbnb linens fresh and soft.
1. Detergents that are PH balanced.
As previously mentioned, a good rule of thumb when washing delicates is to find a detergent that’s PH balanced. Dropps Laundry Detergent laundry detergent is a good option if you are looking for something strictly PH-based.
This detergent’s PH formula is hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested, made from plant-based products and essential oils. If you use this detergent or one with a similar PH formula, you’ll be doing wonders for the longevity of your clothes!
2. No-rinse detergents
If you’re washing your delicates by hand, no-rinse detergents may be a good idea. A nice and effective no-rinse detergent is called Soak. This is a great option because it requires very little effort, since you simply soak, squeeze, and dry flat.
The detergent can be used to hand-wash almost anything, as well as in your washing machine, whether it is standard or high-efficiency.
3. All-natural detergents.
All-natural detergents are great for delicate clothing, since they’re free of the harsh chemicals that could potentially damage the fabric.
A good all-natural option is Puracy Natural Laundry Detergent which you can buy in bulk. It is one of the purest detergents you could choose since it is made with a plant enzyme-based formula that is 99.9% natural.
This detergent or a similar option is a great and effective way to clean and maintain the integrity of delicate clothes.
4. Delicate detergents meant for specific types of fabric.
If there is a specific type of delicate fabric that you are trying to wash, finding a detergent meant specifically for that fabric could be beneficial.
For example, The Laundress makes a detergent meant specifically for wool and cashmere. It protects the delicate fibers while also cleansing and conditioning in a concentrated formula.
If you are washing a specific fabric together all at once, then investing in one of these specific detergents may be a good idea.
