Didn't realize they were discontinuing it; I just thought they ran out of the unscented for NAS. <br /></div><div>I also have Soak, which was recommended to me by sewing friends. And I just bought a bottle of the Laundress to try, since I missed out on Nordie's and was at the Container Store for something else. So I guess I'm in good company, given the recommendations here!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-delicate-fabric-wash#post-2138186 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 02:34:57 +0000 notsaf 2138186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another Soak fan here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-delicate-fabric-wash#post-2138165 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 23:43:39 +0000 Roxanna 2138165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Baby shampoo!!

I use fragrance free but the reviews of the scented versions are mostly positive. I've used it for years and I have only good to say about this product. It's very expensive but a bottle lasts a long, long time.</p> <p>&nbsp;Nordstrom wash was very good, sorry to hear it's discontinued. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-delicate-fabric-wash#post-2138064 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 13:29:14 +0000 cindysmith 2138064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Baby shampoo. I forget where I first read that factoid, but I'm certain it had something to do with caring for cashmere </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-delicate-fabric-wash#post-2137953 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 21:03:37 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2137953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>+1 for Soak from me. I like that you don’t have to rinse it - I usually do, but it reassures me about any minor residue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-delicate-fabric-wash#post-2137949 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 20:53:30 +0000 Preppy Pear 2137949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like Forever New for lingerie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-delicate-fabric-wash#post-2137914 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:32:37 +0000 Jenn 2137914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Laundress.

And it smells *really* good.</p> <p>I also sometimes use my gentle hand soap for a quick one item wash: Compagnie de Provence Savon Marseille. (I love this soap so much, especially the orange blossom version.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-delicate-fabric-wash#post-2137891 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 17:15:31 +0000 Anonymous 2137891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about castille soap?

Simple is the best way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-delicate-fabric-wash#post-2137856 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 15:04:48 +0000 nemosmom 2137856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for shampoo! I also use a product called Soak - I use the unscented for some things where I don't want fragrance (like bras). It takes only a few small drops in a sink of water and you can get it on Amazon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-delicate-fabric-wash#post-2137851 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 14:44:36 +0000 Carla 2137851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Joy says. Johnson’s ‘No More Tears’ baby shampoo. &nbsp;DS#1 uses it when he washes his trumpet (as recommended by his teacher back in the day) and DS#2 uses it to wash his prosthetic eye (as recommended by his ocularist.). I use it to hand wash delicate fabrics and when sink washing items whilst travelling. &nbsp;Never used it in the washing machine, though.</p> <p>FWIW, liquid TIDE takes bicycle and automotive grease off skin (and clothes) fast and gentle. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-delicate-fabric-wash#post-2137842 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 14:04:13 +0000 Anonymous 2137842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often use shampoo, especially when traveling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-delicate-fabric-wash#post-2137840 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 14:00:31 +0000 nuancedream 2137840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am running out of my favorite Nordstrom Delicate Fabric Wash and Stain Remover, but it looks like Nordstrom has discontinued this product.&nbsp; I'm looking for something similar and welcome any suggestions. I've heard some good things about The Laundress product line, but it's pretty pricey. </p>
