Eight in 10 Brits suffer from 'laundry anxiety', according to research
A poll of 2,000 adults found that eight in 10 Brits experience “laundry anxiety,” with an average of four wardrobe items causing concern about machine washing.
Knitwear, embellished clothing, coats and cashmere were the items most often left unwashed because people were unsure how to care for them.
To avoid washing-machine risks, 51% washed clothes by hand, 33% used dry cleaning and 29% wore items again without washing them.
Garment-Care concerns stopped 55% from buying wanted items, while shrinking, misshaping and fading caused the greatest worries.
