How to Hand-Wash Clothes

Description

Hand-washing is necessary for delicate fabrics that may be damaged in a machine. Start by filling a basin with lukewarm water and adding mild detergent. Submerge the garment and gently agitate the water without excessive rubbing, which can cause stretching or fading. Let the garment soak for 10–15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water until all soap is removed. Avoid wringing out the fabric; instead, press out excess water gently. Lay flat to dry on a towel or hang, depending on the garment’s label instructions. Hand-washing ensures delicate clothing remains in good condition and prevents wear and tear.
