Fine lingerie is an investment that can last - while not a
lifetime - at least for a long tim.
By caring for your lingerie properly, you will extend its
life and enjoy it for many years to come.
Always check the label sewn into your lingerie.
Manufacturers understand their product and how to care for
it. The label is always right. If the label indicates dry clean only, please
take this advice seriously. Machine or hand washing a dry clean only garment
can ruin it.
If you have removed the label from your garment follow these
general guidelines:
Most lingerie may be hand washed in cold water using a mild
detergent (such as Ivory Snow). Be sure to rinse completely. Always drip dry lingerie
or dry on a flat towel. Never put lingerie in the dryer. You may use gentle
steaming to remove wrinkles.
LingerieDiva recommends that you wash your lingerie in a
lingerie wash bag. These bags ensure your fine lingerie does not become twisted
and stretched in the wash. You can purchase wash bags from most lingerie and
drug stores.
Caring for Silk - Special Instructions
Silk lingerie is strong but very delicate - so extra care
must be taken when washing it. Use only a mild soap or silk wash. Never use
detergent on silk. Soak the lingerie in warm water for about five minutes.
Agitate gently, but do not twist it. Rinse well using cold water (you may add a
teaspoon of vinegar to the rinse to remove all traces of soap). Roll the linger
in a towel and lay flat to dry. Iron while slightly damp or you can hang the
lingerie in a steamy bathroom to remove wrinkles.
