Learn which special care items to set aside and how to protect delicate fabrics before scheduling your next HappyNest laundry pickup.
What Belongs in Your Everyday Laundry Bag?
A wash and fold laundry service is designed to make caring for your everyday clothing as simple as possible. From T-shirts and jeans to pajamas, socks, towels, and workout clothes, these are the items that benefit most from professional washing, drying, folding, and next-day delivery.
To help you get the very best results from every pickup, we suggest setting a few specialty items aside before filling your HappyNest bag. Many of these fabrics are designed with unique care instructions that help preserve their shape, texture, and appearance over time.
Here are a few items we recommend keeping separate from your everyday laundry:
Wool sweaters, scarves, coats, and other wool garments often require more specialized care than everyday clothing. Wool can shrink or lose its shape if washed or dried incorrectly, so we suggest following the care instructions on each garment to help maintain its fit and texture.
If a garment is labeled "Dry Clean Only," we recommend setting it aside. These items are designed with specific cleaning methods in mind that help preserve the fabric, construction, and overall appearance.
Clothing with sequins, rhinestones, beads, embroidery, or decorative appliqués is best kept separate from your everyday laundry. These decorative details can become snagged or loosen during a standard wash cycle, so giving them specialized care helps keep them looking their best.
Silk is loved for its smooth feel and lightweight finish, but it's also one of the more delicate fabrics in your wardrobe. We suggest caring for silk garments separately to help preserve their softness, color, and overall quality.
Materials like leather, suede, velvet, velour, and other specialty fabrics each have unique care requirements. Because these fabrics respond differently to water, heat, and detergents, it's best to follow the manufacturer's recommended cleaning instructions.
Lace garments and clothing with lace accents can be more delicate than standard fabrics. To help prevent stretching, snagging, or damage to intricate details, we recommend keeping lace items separate from your everyday wash and fold order.
The good news is that most of the clothes you wear every day are perfect candidates for HappyNest's wash and fold service. T-shirts, jeans, shorts, leggings, sweatshirts, pajamas, children's clothing, towels, sheets, and many other household essentials are exactly what our service is designed for. For machine-washable delicate items, placing them in a mesh delicates bag can provide an extra layer of protection during the wash.
Taking a quick look through your laundry before pickup is an easy way to help every item receive the care that's best suited for it. If you're ever unsure about a specific item before your pickup, our Customer Service team ((855) 335-9274) is always happy to help answer your questions.
By setting aside specialty fabrics and sending in your everyday laundry, you can enjoy consistently great results while saving yourself hours of washing, drying, and folding.
