— The Laundress
Anyone who loves fashion wants to take good care of their clothes, but dry cleaning can be expensive and inconvenient — not to mention harsh on fabric. While specialty fabrics like velvet, silk, and wool require specialty care, it is actually possible to do home laundering without much hassle — you just need to use the right products. If you’ve been looking for a dry-cleaning alternative, The Laundress makes luxe, long-lasting cleansers for at-home care whether it's linen or cashmere season.

Cofounders Gwen Whiting and Lindsey Boyd met while studying textiles at Cornell — unhappy with the few at-home cleaning options for delicate materials, they created The Laundress in 2004. The brand’s lineup includes specialized formulas for finer fabrics in elegant, minimalist packaging that coincides with the brand’s new labels, new standards, and new partners to ensure product safety. The Laundress also provides plenty of pointers if you’re new to the hand-washing game — because good care is what will help keep your clothes looking (and feeling) as fresh as the day you bought them.For Better Care Of Your Investment Garments
