Lingerie is often made from delicate fabrics, so it is important to take care of it. Follow all our advice to keep your sexy lingerie as long as possible and in better condition.
ContentsMaintain your lingerie every day
In all cases and if possible, give priority to the indications on the labels or on the box of your items. The recommendations of lingerie brands are useful and reliable.
We advise you to wash your lingerie by hand. Be sure to dissolve the detergent before putting the lingerie in water to prevent the detergent from bleaching it.
You can also use your washing machine (separate black, colors and white) with a delicate program at maximum 30°C (silk and wool cannot be machine washed), otherwise the high temperature risks shrinking the lingerie. . Regarding spinning, maximum 600 rpm or no spinning, there is a risk that the lingerie will lose its elasticity .
Never let your lingerie soak and don't wait to hang it out when the cycle is finished.
Rules to respect
- limit machine washing
- radiators, dryers or tumble dryers are prohibited
- never bleach (white lingerie risks turning yellow)
- No dry cleaning
- avoid ironing (or place a cloth between the iron and the lingerie)
Always use a gentle bleaching detergent and wash by hand.
Does machine washing relax elastane and your lingerie at the same time? It is best to wash your lingerie by hand.
You can protect your underwear with a washing net to limit friction during the cycle. Don't forget to clip your bra before washing in the machine.
Leave to dry in the open air, preferably flat on a drying rack for example. Do not expose it to direct sunlight to avoid discoloration of your underwear.
Put away your lingerie
Don't forget that lingerie is delicate, its durability depends on how you treat it. Of course... like your car or your smartphone.
Many women store their lingerie in a drawer, which ultimately isn't such a bad thing.
If you prefer drawers, don't hesitate to invest in fabric dividers. There are several sizes and shapes , you will find them easily (especially in a Swedish department store).
You will be able to compartmentalize the lingerie by category.
The major advantage being shelter from light, which is a good point for lingerie.
An equally good solution is the lingerie box. Placed under the bed or above the wardrobe, it will protect your lingerie and you will always know where to find it. Remember to compartmentalize them according to their use (daily or occasional).
