Lingerie Care Guide
LINGERIE CARE ADVICE
Your lingerie needs to be pampered, which is why many brands recommend care advice on their labels as each piece is different. Here is how to properly care for your lingerie:
1. Always Hand Wash
Throwing your lingerie/bras into the washing machine can break them down and do damage. Fill your sink with lukewarm water, enough to submerge your bras and add lingerie detergent. Gently swoosh them in the water. Let your lingerie/bras soak for about 20 minutes. Next, empty the sink and rinse. Once you are confident you’ve rinsed the bras free of detergent refill the sink with clean water then let the lingerie/bras soak for an additional 5 minutes. Once this is complete, gently pat the bras dry with a towel. (Do not wring them out!)
2. Air Dry
Once you are done hand-washing your bras, it is important to let them air dry. Gently drape them evenly on a drying rack or a shower rod. Doing so will prolong the life of your bras.
3. Use a Delicate Detergent
Gentle laundry soap works wonders. We sell Soak Wash online and in-store. I highly recommend this wash as it is bio-degradable and really great for your delicates like your lingerie.
4. Storage
Store your bras in your draw cup to cup. Placing socks inside your cups will help keep the original shape. Organizing your bras by color from light to dark will make it easier to find whichever one you are looking for.
5. Have Options
It’s important to build your bra wardrobe so you’ll have a good selection of bras to rotate, giving you more time between washes. Pick one evening a week when you will gather your bras and delicate underwear all at once to save time.
