13. Use Fabric Bags for Delicates

Mesh laundry bags are a game-changer for protecting your most delicate items. They shield lingerie, hosiery, and other small garments from snags, stretching, and tangling during the wash cycle. Washing delicates without a bag often leads to torn lace, lost socks, or stretched-out elastic. Simply zip your fragile pieces into a fabric bag before tossing them in the machine. This small step makes a noticeable difference in keeping your favorite delicate garments looking and feeling like new.
