Washing delicate items?

I find a lot of my washing has two lines on the care label, these seem to bobble and pull a lot in the wash. What cycle on the machine do you use to wash them and should i wash them in a laundry bag?

if they have 2 lines it means they should go in a wool wash and not have a full spin speed

Some of them are things like jeans and school trousers and shirts. Should these be put on a wool wash too?

i just stick everything on a normal cotton wash with the occasional synthetics wash. I wouldnt have thought jeans/trousers would need a wool wash

I got this from Which website
If there are no bars, the garment can be spun and rinsed as normal.
One bar indicates that the spin speed should be reduced.
Two bars means the clothes need a mild wash action, but can be spun and rinsed normally.
I have washed some dry clean only clothes today on a wool cycle with low spin and they are fine but only do that if you can live with it of they do shrink!

I was clearly too cavalier when I slung my silk wedding dress in a white wash Grin

Worked out fine tho'
