Washing Lingerie

From Lucky Magazine, march 2007:

Araks Yeramyan designs the elegant Araks line of underthings - and has developed a neat trick for getting the gentlest wash.

• You'll need: A one-gallon glass jar and a detergent suitable for fine fabrics. "I prefer ones with plant-based ingredients, like Ecover Delicate Wash," she says.
• How it's done: Fill the jar three-quarters to the top with lukewarm water, then add half a capful of detergent. Add up to five pieces of lingerie and shake until sudsy. "Essentially, you're re-creating the same motion as a washing wachine, but this is far gentler," Yeramyan explains. Then rinse garments until water runs clear and hang them dry.
