·
Always read and follow care instructions on the label.
·
Hand wash all garments, especially Bra’s with an under wire
because wires can be bent, damaged or broken. They may even come out in the
washing machine and damage the machine.
·
Use a lingerie wash bag when washing underwear in a machine.
·
Wash lingerie frequently to keep it on good condition because
perspiration perfumes and body lotions can mark the fabric, so with regular
washing the risk is minimised.
·
When washing always choose a liquid or powder specially made for
delicate fabrics. Make sure all powder is dissolved before putting garments in
the water.
·
Wash dark colours separately.
·
Don’t exceed the recommended washing temperature.
·
Dry lingerie away from all direct heat such as radiators, fires
and hot sunshine, otherwise they may discolour, especially whites.
·
Avoid catching delicate fabrics and lace with clothes pins, use
the washing label to fix bras and briefs to the washing line.
·
Do not tumble dry lingerie unless the care label provides specific
instructions.
·
Bra’s should not be worn more than 2 days in a row or twice
between washing. The elastic needs to recover in order to continue providing
good support and this can only happen after it’s been washed and left to rest.
·
Always lay your Bra’s flat in a lined drawer to be sure they don’t
lose their shape or snag on uneven surfaces.
·
Use a lingerie travel bag to keep undergarments together when
travelling. This will also ensure the garments are not crushed and will keep
them from getting snagged.
·
Take a small amount of your regular gentle detergent with you on
holiday so that you can hand wash your lingerie.
