CRAI Delicatezza (Wool/Delicate): Save Your Clothes in Malta—How to Wash & What to Avoid

 

CRAI Delicatezza (Wool/Delicate) in Malta: Save Your Clothes with a Gentle Routine


Hi! I’m JingJing, studying in beautiful Malta on the Mediterranean with my husband, Bongbong.


TL;DR — Switch to a delicate detergent for wool/silk/linen, wash cold, use a wash bag, and keep spin low. This softener-included formula helps reduce pilling and maintains drape and touch in Malta’s sweaty summers.



Intro

Summer in Malta means sweat and frequent laundry. If you’re washing favorites every other day, a regular detergent can wreck fibers fast. A delicate formula helps pieces like wool, silk, and linen keep their shape, touch, and color — so you can love them longer.


Why Delicate Detergent


 

This pink-bottle pick is made for sensitive fibers: it’s softener-included, boasts anti-pilling care, and is gentle on skin and fabrics. You don’t need a separate softener, which simplifies dorm or rental routines and keeps residue low.


How to Wash

  1. Sort by fabric type — keep wool/silk/linen separate from heavy cotton or denim.
  2. Dose small — delicates need less detergent; excess suds can stiffen fibers.
  3. Cold wash with a wash bag on a gentle cycle (or hand-wash).
  4. Low spin — high RPMs stretch knitwear and crease linen.
  5. Skip extra softener — this formula already includes it.


Care & Drying

After washing, press, don’t wring. Lay knits flat on a towel; hang silk and linen on padded hangers away from direct sun. A quick steam revives shape without crushing weaves. For travel, decant into a small bottle and hand-wash essentials at night.


Wardrobe Value

Replacing a linen shirt or silk cami costs far more than caring for it. A delicate detergent extends lifespan, keeps textures refined, and reduces that chalky feel hard water can leave behind. The payoff is a closet that stays wearable and an outfit rotation that survives the heat.


Where to Buy

Look in Asian and specialty markets around Gżira/Sliema. The pink bottle stands out on shelves, and a little goes a long way — ideal for student budgets and light packers.

Summary

  • Use a delicate formula for wool/silk/linen — it preserves texture and drape.
  • Cold wash, low spin, wash bag, and no extra softener.
  • Dry with care: flat for knits, shade for silk/linen, steam lightly to finish.
  • Great for Malta summers when laundry frequency spikes.


FAQ

Q. Can I use it on mixed loads?
A. Keep delicates separate; mixing with heavy fabrics can cause abrasion and pilling.

Q. Do I still need softener?
A. No — it’s already softener-included. Extra softener can weigh fibers down.

Q. Hand-wash or machine?
A. Both work. For special pieces, hand-wash cold; for everyday delicates, use a gentle cycle with a wash bag.
