The Laundress Delicate Wash laundry detergent, Lady scent — 16 fl oz, enzyme-free gentle care for silk & lingerie

The Laundress Delicate Wash in Lady scent is a double-concentrated, enzyme-free liquid detergent made to gently clean silk, linen, satin, lingerie and other fragile garments while leaving a soft citrus-floral fragrance.

Designed for people who want professional-level care at home, this 16 fl oz bottle delivers roughly 31 cold-water loads and is formulated to protect fibers that ordinary detergents can damage. The Lady fragrance layers bergamot, ylang-ylang and gardenia over a subtle musk, turning routine laundering into a sensory ritual without harsh chemistry. Use it for hand-washing or in any washing machine (including HE) when you select a delicate cycle and take simple precautions like mesh bags and flat drying.

How does this detergent protect delicate fabrics?

Delicate Wash avoids enzymes and uses a gentle, double-concentrated formula that cleans without aggressive agitation or fiber-stripping surfactants. That means reduced risk of shrinkage, pilling, or loss of sheen for silk, satin, linen and fine knits when used as directed.

• Enzyme-free formulation to prevent fiber breakdown
• Double concentration reduces volume of detergent per wash
• Clear, lightweight liquid for accurate dosing without residue
• Works in cold water to avoid heat-related damage

What’s the scent like and how long does it last?

The Lady fragrance opens bright with bergamot and moves into floral notes of ylang-ylang and gardenia, settling into a soft musk base. It’s designed to be subtle yet noticeable, leaving garments smelling fresh and refined until the next wash rather than overpowering fabrics.

• Citrus-floral top notes for an immediate fresh impression
• Heart notes of delicate florals for an elegant finish
• Warm musk undertone for a lingering, intimate scent
• Scent concentration formulated for delicate items—pleasant, not overpowering

Can I use this in my HE washer or for hand washing?

Yes—Delicate Wash performs in both HE machines and by hand. For machine use, add the product to the detergent dispenser and choose a gentle or wool cycle with cold water; for hand-washing, dilute as directed and handle fabrics gently.

• Compatible with HE washers when dispensed correctly
• Suitable for hand wash and soak treatments
• Recommend mesh laundry bag for small or loose items
• Always test color fastness and avoid tumble drying

How much will one bottle clean and how should I dose it?

The 16 fl oz bottle is double concentrated and yields about 31 loads, which reduces the quantity of detergent used per wash and lowers packaging waste. Measure carefully—because the formula is concentrated, you only need a small amount for each delicate cycle.

• Approximately 31 loads per 16 fl oz bottle
• Smaller, accurate doses thanks to lightweight liquid texture
• Concentrated formula means fewer refills and less storage
• Follow garment labels and The Laundress dosing guidance

Who is this for: The Laundress Delicate Wash is made for people who invest in quality clothing—owners of silk blouses, lingerie, vintage linens, bridal pieces and other fine textiles—who want to extend the lifespan and maintain the look, feel and scent of their garments without professional cleaning. If you prefer cold-water care, low-waste products and a refined fragrance experience, this detergent fits into a considered fabric-care routine and pairs well with The Laundress Delicate Spray for a complete at-home ritual.
