The Secret to Sorting Laundry Like a Pro (Without Lifting a Finger)
If you're still sorting your laundry by color alone, it’s time for an upgrade.
According Juliette’s recent press feature in The Spruce, (which you can check out the full article here.) sorting laundry properly is one of the most overlooked steps in garment care — and also one of the most essential. It prevents fading, protects fabric integrity, and keeps clothes looking newer, longer. But let’s be honest: in New York City, who has the time — or the space — to do all that?
That’s where Juliette comes in.
At Juliette, we don't just separate whites from darks. We sort by fiber, finish, fabrication, and function. Each garment gets the custom care it deserves — whether it's a silk blouse you only wear to board meetings, or your favorite vintage Levi's that never go out of style.
Here’s how we sort things out at Juliette:
1. Fabric First.
Cotton, cashmere, denim, synthetics — every textile has different needs. We separate by fabric type to prevent pilling, stretching, or unnecessary wear. That means your clothes last longer and look better.
2. Color — But Make It Fashion.
Of course we sort by color. But we go beyond basic "lights and darks." We consider how dyes may react in different water temperatures and treatments, and take proactive steps to protect vibrancy and depth.
3. Soil Level.
Yes, we assess how dirty your laundry is. Why? Because washing lightly soiled garments with heavily soiled ones can actually re-deposit dirt and oils. Think of it like giving your clothes clean roommates.
4. Specialty Items Stay Special.
Delicates, athletic wear, embellished pieces, and anything requiring hand-finishing are always set aside for expert treatment. No guesswork. No shortcuts.
Your Wardrobe Is an Investment — Treat It Like One
When you use Juliette, you’re not just getting laundry picked up and dropped off. You're getting centuries of craftsmanship, advanced garment science, and a concierge-level experience tailored to your lifestyle.
