How to wash brand.

Supplies:
Mesh zip laundry bags (Daiso ones are cheap, but the ones sold on Amazon probably are good too)
Woolite
White vinegar
Heavy-duty drying rack from Amazon
Tide or shout color catcher sheets (if you have reds)

Zip up your brand in mesh laundry bags (one main piece per bag is preferable, especially if it has a hook somewhere that could catch and pull on lace) and wash them on gentle cycle, cold water.

Use Woolite for detergent. Use white vinegar for softener. Vinegar won't have waxes that build up on fabric, plus its acidity will help lock in dyes. The vinegary smell will go away when the clothes dry.

Hang items to dry on rack. Colored items should be out of sunlight. Sunlight will bleach fabric. This can be useful if you want to brighten white items like blouses.

Wash reds in their own separate load, with a a color catcher sheet in the load. The color catcher sheet will catch excess dye and prevent the print from becoming blurry.

Anything with metal boning like corsets must be dry-cleaned.
