Tips for caring for your lingerie

Our lingerie collections are delicate and should be treated as such. There are a few things that you can do to ensure that your lingerie lasts longer. Lingerie can be very expensive and the last thing that you want is to spend a small fortune for a garment you wear once and then never get to use again because of poor care. Here are a few simple steps to remember.

WASHING - When washing your lingerie try to stick to the washing instructions as best as you can. Lingerie is best hand washed in cool water. Add a soft fabric wash and let your garments soak for a few minutes. Lather them together gently, but do not wring them out. This can bend them out of shape and make the look odd for reuse. Instead, let the water drain as much as possible. If you prefer to use a washing machine for cleaning of your lingerie make sure they are washed inside a lingerie bag.

DRYING - Allow your lingerie to air dry naturally by hanging them inside as if you leave them in the sun for too long whilst drying, they can become sun damaged. Avoid drying your delicate garments in a dryer. The heat will destroy shape and shrink your garments.

STORING - The key is to be gentle. Rough handling of such a delicate item can leave your lingerie ruined for regular use. It is suggested to have a entire draw for only your lingerie garments. Do not just throw them all in together without consideration. Keep in mind that hooks can easily get caught on such delicate materials. By following these simple steps you can keep your lingerie looking like new and holding there original form for much longer.
