delicate cycle
Soft wash option
A delicate cycle is a washing machine setting for fragile fabrics—silk, lace, lingerie, or anything that might be damaged by vigorous agitation.
It uses cooler water, gentler tumbling, and slower spin speeds.
Figuratively, something requiring the delicate cycle needs careful, gentle handling: His ego requires the delicate cycle.
