1
Separate your nylon blouses and other nylon items from the rest of your laundry. Ideally, nylon items should be washed in a separate load so you can put them on a more delicate setting in the washer. If you decide to put them in with a regular load, wash them in a mesh laundry bag to prevent damage.

Tips & Warnings
If you wash your nylon blouses often, consider hand washing them instead. Frequent machine washing and drying of nylon can cause the fabric to develop little nubs, making it look worn and ragged.
