Your Laundry, Simplified
A no-spin guide to washing clothes, car-seat covers, and nearly everything in between.
Chances are you’ve experienced a few wardrobe malfunctions on occasion―from the errant red sock that found its way into (and
left its mark on) a load of whites to the wool sweater that came out of the washer small enough to fit a Bratz doll. You learned
from these gaffes and moved on. Still, despite your years and years (and loads and loads) of experience, laundry can present
vexing questions. Does a silk shirt absolutely require dry cleaning? Should lingerie always be hand washed? This compendium
will help you sort through the frustrations―and, of course, your darks and your whites.
