Proper Caring Of Fine Lingerie

Fine lingerie requires extra attention if you'd like to protect that investment. Following is a list of care instructions:

1. In order to protect any lycra degrading, do NOT dry clean (unless specified by the designer)
2. NEVER use bleach! The bleach will damage the fabric and affect the color
3. Do NOT iron (even inside out). This will ruin any embroidery and or lace. If there is any creasing, hang to dry while you bathe or shower (the steam will remove the creases)
4. Always air-dry to avoid damage to the elastic and or over heat the fabric
5. Delicates should be stored in a cool dry place away from any source of light or heat and then stored in a drawer lined with unscented and uncolored tissue paper
6. Dry any metal clasps with paper towel asap so that they do not risk becoming marked by water droplets
7. If traveling, pack the lingerie in its own case such as The Bra Bag Buxom bbagb-Maggie Deep Pink or the Bra(g) Panty Pak
8. Wash and rinse in luke-warm water and use a gentle and high quality lingerie wash such as The Laundress Delicate Wash, Lady and Bra Smyth Fine Fabric Wash
9. If you must wash in a washing machine, be sure to put all of the garments into a washing bag such as the Bare Necessities Large Lingerie Wash Bag Accessory, or the Lingerie Laundry Bag from fashion Forms.
10. These tips will assure a prolonged life for your most delicate lingerie.
