Luxury Laundry Care for a Considered Wardrobe
Why luxury laundry care matters beyond “clean”
Clothing holds memory. Proper care helps colour, texture and gives the quiet confidence of a well-kept wardrobe. Our approach to luxury laundry care is fabric-first. Fragrances edited to sit close to the cloth rather than hover in the room. Think clarity over noise, softness without residue, and instructions that turn laundering into a calm, repeatable ritual.

Choosing the best laundry detergents for real homes
Liquids vs the best washing powders
Liquids excel at low-temperature cycles and mixed loads; they disperse quickly and treat modern fibres kindly. The best washing powders bring extra bite for robust cotton and linens, especially where water is hard. If you rotate between both, you cover everyday freshness and the occasional deep clean, without harshness.
Delicates, colour care and wool
When you are washing silks, silks need to be cleaned with care. You should look for the laundry detergents that are made for washing delicate things like silks and wools and blended knits. These laundry detergents for silks should have enzymes that're gentle they should not have optical brighteners and they should have a fragrance that is not too strong.
To take care of silks you should wash them in a cycle with cool water and a low spin. This helps to protect the silks. After washing silks you should lay them flat to dry or hang them up with some space around them so they can breathe. This is how you wash and dry silks and other delicate things, like wools and blended knits.
Fabric conditioners & finish: softness with intention
Fabric conditioners and fabric softeners
Fabric conditioners make the fibers in your clothes feel smooth. This helps your clothes hang nicely and feel good against your skin. When you buy a fabric softener it should be light and easy to rinse out. It should not have waxes that stop your clothes from breathing. You should use the right amount of fabric softener. Do not just guess, use the measuring cap that comes with it.
Towels are a little different. They need a break from fabric softener sometimes. This helps them keep absorbing water. Keep finishes harmonious with Home Fragrance.
Linen refresh and pressing
A calm finish comes from steam plus restraint. Shake items as they leave the drum, smooth seams by hand, then press only where needed. This is the easiest way to keep the wardrobe composed and ready.
Smart extras: laundry additives and scent boosters
Laundry additives for targeted tasks
Laundry additives like oxygen brighteners and stain pre-treaters and water-softening aids are things that can help you. You should use additives when you have a specific problem. For example you can use them when you have hems or make-up on your collars or when you have water that has a lot of minerals in it. Always remember to look at the labels, on your clothes and follow what they say. It is also an idea to test laundry additives on a small part of the clothes first to make sure they do not damage them.
Scent boosters, deliberately used
Scent boosters laundry can lift the mood of sheets or guest towels, but restraint is elegance. Choose boosters that echo your detergent’s profile so the result reads as one idea. Textiles should smell like themselves - quietly fresh - never over-perfumed.
Method: small choices that change results
Load size, water and temperature
Under or over-filling the drum unsettles the wash pattern. Aim for a hand’s width of space on top of the load. Cool cycles (20–30°C) protect fibres and colour; occasional warm cycles support hygiene for bedding and sportswear. In hard-water postcodes, consider a softening aid or the powder rotation above.
Dosage and rhythm
Measure, don’t estimate. Follow the cap; scale up only for heavy soil or larger drums. Clean the drawer, leave the door ajar between cycles, and give the seal a gentle wipe -small habits that keep the machine, and the scent, clear. Keep sinks and prep areas calm with Dishwashing & Kitchen Care.
Where wardrobe care meets home style
Laundry done well is invisible: colours remain true, knitwear holds shape, cotton breathes. This harmony supports the rest of the home - fresh sheets, smooth throws, curtains that move with the light. To complete the mood, explore subtle companions beyond the utility room.
