I don’t mind hand washing delicate clothes.  But I hate hand rinsing.  You shouldn’t really wring delicates, and without wringing, I always feel like I’m not getting all of the dirt and detergent out.  But put your delicates in a washing machine, and you risk snagging them  – on the machine itself, or on the snaps, zippers and Velcro of other clothes.  My solution: A mesh wash bag.  Fill it loosely with your sweaters, swimsuits, etc. and toss them in the washer with your regular load.  Simple, easy and efficient.  On sale this week at drugstore.com for $2.99.
