We all know quality lingerie comes at a cost. So, why not invest some time and a little effort to make sure your delicates last. Per August House and Lalalingerie.com this is a quick simple guide on how to wash your lingerie.
Read the lingerie care label, this will give you the greatest chance of keeping the lingerie in the best condition.
Remove any stains (body oils, makeup, etc.) from your undergarments BEFORE washing them.
Sort your lingerie by color and the type of material they are made of. If you have any intimates with padding or wiring, they should be washed by hand to preserve their shape. Other lingerie can be machine washed safely by using a lingerie bag.
Hand wash your delicates. This is overall the best method to sustain the longevity of your lingerie.
Soak your delicates by submerging them under lukewarm water with a small drop of your favorite mild laundry soap.
Once your delicates have soaked, gently scrub them by hand to loosen any debris and dirt. Concentrate on areas that tend to be sweaty or oily.
Rinse your lingerie well in lukewarm water until the water is no longer soapy. Then, lay them flat on a towel or air-dry them if possible.
Do not wring out your delicates, they can easily be damaged.
Wrinkled delicates? Try using a steamer to remove them.
By following these few simple steps, you can extend and maintain the condition of your lingerie.
