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.
