The Laundress
Do you have fancy clothes and need a fancy product to take care of them?
You have an excellent (if pricey) option in the fabric-care products from The Laundress.
The name has the right touch of highfalutin, while the products come in modest, simple bottles that obviously weren’t designed to grab you with shiny, sparkly fanciness.
The laundry line includes a range of products, most highly specialized.
For instance: Wool & Cashmere Shampoo ($19 for 16 ounces): meant to be used in hand washing or cold water, the shampoo cleans tricky woolly things without dry cleaning hassles.
Delicate Wash ($19 for 16 ounces.): for silks, synthetics and unmentionables.
Darks Detergent ($20.50 for 32 ounces): Color guard and stain-fighting to get the splotches out without dulling the color.
There are also stain solutions a bleach alternative and other sprays and washes for more general needs. All are free of toxins, allergens and animal byproducts.
All the products come with a handy chart on the back to tell you how much to use depending on your wash method (by hand, in a high-efficiency machine or in a top-loader) as well as how many washes you should get out of the bottle.
