While I’m not super impressed with the quality of the plastic the mechanism works really well - gets going fast without too much effort. I can see it being very effective for this purpose. </p> <p>ZYLISS Easy Spin Salad Spinner, Large, Green, BPA Free <a href="https://a.co/d/876lL8R" rel="nofollow">https://a.co/d/876lL8R</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2316663 Thu, 06 Apr 2023 10:59:43 +0000 BlueJay 2316663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I have a use for my salad spinner that's been sitting in my cupboard!</p> <p>(This reminds me, occasionally, I've seen bathing suit spinners at pools. I haven't tried it though. It sounds like a coffee grinder and freaks me out!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2316653 Thu, 06 Apr 2023 06:41:25 +0000 Greyscale 2316653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to do this for delicate wool items. Wash by sloshing them around very gently in the salad spinner (no real agitation) then spin out the extra water. Works super well. Now I have a front-load washer with a good delicate cycle so I gave up on hand washing most things. But I was considering trying it again after a few sweaters shrank even with the most careful machine washing.</p> <p>I got a super cheap salad spinner at Ikea and I've had it for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2316620 Wed, 05 Apr 2023 21:10:01 +0000 Peri 2316620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So funny this got bumped because I let it simmer for awhile and then forgot. But...the most recent issue of Real Simple magazine had a page evaluating Tic Tok trends and supposedly this is one. The magazine tested it and said it worked great.</p> <p>That was enough to get me interested again and I have one on the way. I was planning to bump the post once I had a chance to try it, but I'll update once I have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2316614 Wed, 05 Apr 2023 19:22:39 +0000 Jules 2316614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for bumping this up! It might be helpful for me at the cottage where I don’t have a washer and hand wash some underwear on occasion. Why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2316609 Wed, 05 Apr 2023 18:46:14 +0000 JP 2316609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know this post is from four months ago, but I was curious and searched on YLF and found this post from 11 years ago.&nbsp; <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-woes">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....undry-woes</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2292083 Sat, 19 Nov 2022 01:34:12 +0000 elpgal 2292083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are definitely not imagining it; I recall reading about it in the fashion mags back when I used to read them. There is a hand-cranked washer that people use in campers and small apartments. When I handwash, I toss them onto a drying rack with a boot rack underneath to catch the drips. The expensive bras are always synthetics so they dry overnight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291834 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 22:16:08 +0000 Style Fan 2291834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting idea.&nbsp; I usually put my delicates in a mesh bag and use the washing machine on the hand wash cycle.&nbsp; Or I wash them by hand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291511 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:32:12 +0000 lyn67 2291511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great idea for delicates, but IMO the salad spinner would do actually the best job&nbsp; using it as an alternative to&nbsp; the good old proper hand-washing procedure and NOT for the part of&nbsp; thumble drying or torsioning by hand(?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291499 Tue, 15 Nov 2022 06:23:45 +0000 Anonymous 2291499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have heard of this but have not tried it. Washed lingerie dries overnight most of the time. &nbsp;I usually hand wash it in the evening and hang on a wooden rack in the garage. &nbsp;The air is very dry usually, so everything dries quickly.. &nbsp;plants need a daily watering. &nbsp;A salad spinner would remove moisture if needed. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291422 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 12:05:33 +0000 Anonymous 2291422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on team mesh bag or handwash and hang up. Sounds like a neat thing though!<br /> I did learn that regular salad spinners are good for spinning out roasted red peppers and tofu too though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291420 Mon, 14 Nov 2022 11:53:18 +0000 Staysfit 2291420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant!

The mesh bag is not the greatest at keeping their shape. I do have little mesh "hat box" shaped cages and they are better than mesh bags but I'm still wondering if hand wash is more gentle than that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291258 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 01:53:35 +0000 Indigoprint 2291258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a mesh bag too, but the spin cycle on my washer is so intense...things get knotted up and mangled. This may be a good option for me.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291253 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 01:40:36 +0000 Suz 2291253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well...this is clever! I use the mesh bag method myself. But then you have to wait until you have a decent load, which can take time... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291248 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 01:23:43 +0000 JAileen 2291248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t need a salad spinner because I just put bras, camisoles, etc. in a mesh bag, wash in the washing machine, and then hang to dry. &nbsp; It keeps them from getting tied in knots with the other clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291246 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 00:58:18 +0000 Indigoprint 2291246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems like it could be a good choice for delicates....<br /> My washer seems to mangle even the delicate cycle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291245 Sun, 13 Nov 2022 00:56:46 +0000 Indigoprint 2291245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I have heard of it, but no experience with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291237 Sat, 12 Nov 2022 22:38:18 +0000 rachylou 2291237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a ‘salad spinner’ washer for clothes from the Container Store, I think it was. From my apt. days. It works </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/salad-spinner-to-hand-wash-lingerie#post-2291236 Sat, 12 Nov 2022 21:44:26 +0000 Peri 2291236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did I imagine this? I think I remember someone talking about it here...or maybe not! Maybe a dedicated gadget, maybe just a real salad spinner but XL, but the idea was to hand wash bras in the bowl and then use the spinner function to spin out the excess water. More trouble than machine wash but less trouble than otherwise hand washing.</p> <p>Ever heard of this? I've checked Amazon and The Laundress and don't see anything so I'm either imagining it or should invent it.&nbsp; </p>
