 GENTLE? The Easy's famous Vacuum Cup method of washing is as gentle as your own hands. And as for the dryer, it can't break buttons; it can't press deep wrinkles into the clothes; it can't harm the most delicate fabric in any way. Think of the sewing and ironing time you save, besides saving wear and tear on clothes.
