One question, I am constantly asked is, how I clean my clothes as I tend to wash things that are not supposed to be washed despite the care instruction label. Two ladies sharing the mutual idea, Gwen Whiting and Lindsey Boyd, founded therefore THE LAUNDRESS. Let me tell you a little more about this concept of amazing laundry detergents and more:
The Laundress founders Gwen Whiting and Lindsey Boyd at their Soho store in NYC.
After discovering that 90% of the ‘dry clean only’ items in their wardrobe were actually washable, the duo set out to develop a range of detergents that not only clean clothes, but care for them too. Their toxin-free products tackle tough stains without fading colors and are gentle enough to be used on even the most precious cashmere.
The Laundress products are organized by fabric types.
