Introduction
All Carmenbabe's Closet clothing require hand washing. Even if the label doesn't call for hand washing, your garments will last longer if they're not constantly subjected to the rigors of the washing machine. You might just want to avoid it damaging, recoloring or worst, shrinking it to Barbie sized clothings.
Here are a few ways to get your clothes clean with hand washing.

Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Things You'll Need
- Liquid Fabric Softeners
- Clothes Dryers
- Clothespins
- Detergents
- Laundry Baskets
Steps
- Plug a sink, and add about 1/4 cup detergent.
- Fill the sink with hot water - as hot as you can comfortably put your hands in. Leave room for the clothing.
- Put your clothing in the water and get it thoroughly wet and soapy. If it's stained, you may want to let it soak for a while.
- Knead the clothing with your hands in the water for a few minutes, much as you would knead bread.
- Unplug the sink, drain and start the water running. Rinse your clothing until the water runs clear, not soapy.
- Wring out and hang to dry, or place clothing in the dryer.
Tips & Warnings
- Wash items of similar colors together; separate dark clothes from white or light- colored clothes.
- Pretreat heavy stains with laundry detergent or stain remover.
- Some fabrics and garments require gentle, cold-water washing and mild detergent; check the labels on your clothes for specific directions.
