Fabric Care
Tips to keep your lingerie in tip top condition
- Always read and follow the care instructions on the label.
- Hand wash any bra with an underwire, as wires can be bent or damaged when machine washed.
- Wash darker colours separately.
- Use the washing label to peg your lingerie to the line, thereby minimizing any snagging of delicate fabrics and laces.
- Washing your lingerie frequently minimizes the risk of marks from perspiration, perfumes and lotions.
- Use a lingerie wash bag (or a pillow case) when washing any type lingerie in a machine.
- Don’t exceed the recommended temperature.
- Dry lingerie away from direct heat such as radiators, fires and even hot sunshine as they may discolour.
- Do not tumble dry the lingerie unless the care label provides specific instructions.
