You spent a lot of time picking out your precious clothes. You’ve put a tremendous amount of energy into curating your wardrobe, haven’t you? You have waited in lines for changing rooms, found disappointment when the jeans at this store didn’t fit, and trudged onto the next one, tolerating the nuisance that is a clothing store, and the next one until finally finding the right pants. When you find those beloved pieces that flatter you and make you happy, you should do what you can to preserve them for as long as possible. Washing them correctly can help with that, though many of us wash our clothes the wrong way. In fact, many of us wash all of our clothes the same way. It’s so easy to just toss everything in the washing machine, and then move it onto the dryer. Everything gets done quick and easy, but if you ruin your clothes, then you didn’t accomplish much. Here are ways you’re probably washing your clothes wrong.

Machine-washing lacy underwear
Never put your sexy, lacy delicates in any sort of machine. They can’t handle being tossed around like that. If they are lace, then that means they contain small holes. The zipper or button of something else in the machine can easily snag these and rip them apart. Hand-wash lacy panties and lay them out in the sun to dry.
