What it is: Aquae, $16, Soak Wash
Why we love it: Hand-launder everything from lacy lingerie to chunky knits with this gentle, no-rinse detergent. We love its phosphate-free formulation and biodegradable nature. It's as easy as soak, squeeze and lay flat to dry.
Style tip: To help minimize moth holes, wash or soak your sweaters before storing them away over summer months. Even the smallest crumb will attract the pesky insect.
