The Laundress Hearts Tokyo - Part 1

In November, Lindsey took a journey to Tokyo to visit our Laundress Japanese Team (and beloved retail stores), launch The Laundress Candles, meet the press, and give cleaning demonstrations to Laundress clients and fans…needless to say she was very busy.

In spite of her jam packed itinerary (see below), she managed to slip in some time for good food and some serious shopping - Here's some highlights from the first half of her whirlwind trip - Part 2 is coming tomorrow!!

Friday Tip Day : Stain Removal

It's the first Friday of the new year, and in conjunction with our Back to Basics theme of the short week, today's Friday Tip Day focuses on two of the most persistent and persnickety kinds of stains we have to deal with. If you need to stock up, The Laundress Stain Solution, Wash & Stain Bar, All Purpose Bleach Alternative, Scented Vinegar and Stain Brush are our most trusted tools for dealing with pit stains, yellowing and mold.

Happy Laundering and Happy Friday!

Back To Basics : Can I Be Washed - The Synthetic Fibers

The Laundress Delicate Wash is perfect for cleaning your Viscose Rayon, Ramie and Acetate pieces. Lycra and Spandex workout gear retain their stretch beautifully with our Sport Detergent. For Lycra-blend, Polyester and Nylon, we suggest using the The Laundress Signature Detergent, which also works well for Modal (though you can go ahead and tailor those laundry loads - the Whites Detergent, Darks Detergent and Fabric Conditioner help keep Modal soft and color safe.)

Candle Launch KOREA

Just in from our associates in Korea - pictures from another successful Candle Launch!

Editors and buyers enjoyed a casual dinner with drinks at Agape - a wedding hall in the Gangnam area of Seoul - while perusing the sumptuous scents and beautiful accompanying art by Daniela Kamiliotis. We are happy to report that a good time was had by all!

Back To Basics : Can I Be Washed - The Natural Fibers

It's the start of another new year, and we thought this might be a good time to get back to basics.

We're breaking down the ever useful 'Can I Be Washed" reference chart - Today, we'll take a look at the essentials for washing your natural fiber textiles - Wool & Cashmere, Silks & Delicates and Cottons & Linens. Tomorrow, it's on to the synthetics!

As you can see, above is the natural fiber section of the 'Can I Be Washed?' Chart - but it's a lot of information to fit into this small space, so be sure to follow the link to TheLaundress.com's recipe page to download the full chart as a PDF - you can even print it out and put it up by your laundry station! 

Below you'll find a handy recipe card for your Wool & Cashmere - and one for your Silks & Delicates. 

Happy New Year & Happy Laundering!

Tough stains are a breeze to remove when you pre-treat with The Laundress Stain Solution or Wash & Stain Bar! Between washings with The Laundress Wool & Cashmere Shampoo, we like to keep our items moth free with The Laundress Wool & Cashmere Spray.

Stains are no match for you when you pre-treat with The Laundress Stain Solution or Wash & Stain Bar. No time to launder with The Laundress Delicate Wash? We keep our items fresh with The Laundress Delicate Spray.
