Your fragil items of clothing need extra care and attention, and City Laundry knows just how to get them through the wash clean and intact. This Lincoln, NE, laundromat provides efficient coin operated washers and dryers and friendly service, and they would like to advise you on how to best care for your delicates when it’s time to wash them.

Check out these tips from the helpful laundry experts at City Laundry:

• Separate Carefully: Any piece of clothing that has pieces that could be dislodged in the laundry is considered delicate. Other delicates are categorized by sensitive materials, such as silk and cashmere, and they should be washed separately as well.
• Check For Weak Stitches: If you garment has intricate lace, ribbons, and/or sequins, they might come loose in the wash. These garments may need to be repaired, washed in a smaller load, or even hand washed or dry cleaned if they do not look like they will withstand another wash cycle.
• Use A Mesh Bag: A mesh bag protects your delicates while still allowing them to be cleaned; using one in a washer’s gentle cycle is the best way to machine-wash delicates. This way, they won’t get caught up in the washer’s drum machine and potentially ripped.
• Hang Dry Your Delicates: Even if a dryer has a gentler cycle, it might shrink or rip your more sensitive clothing. It is best to hang your delicates up carefully or lay them flat and flip them over once one side is dry, so that both sides can air out.
