Tender Loving Care Lingerie Laundry Checklist
Always Read Specific Care Instructions on the Label Before Washing Your Laundry
Practice the Tender Loving Care Lingerie Tips and Use Lingerie Wash Bags
Always read the specific care instructions on the label before washing your lingerie.
Always check for colorfastness.
To prevent shrinking and damaging your lingerie, it is always best to hand-wash in cold water.
Use a color safe, mild detergent designed for such delicate fabrics. Regular detergents can damage your lingerie.
Soak the lingerie item for about 3 minutes. Agitate gently, but do not twist. Twisting or hand wringing badly wrinkles the lingerie.
Avoid wringing your lingerie. Instead, gently press out the excess water between two clean and dry towels.
Hand-washing and rinsing in cold water is highly recommended.
Use a Lingerie Wash Bag or a tightly sealed pillow case if you are machine washing your lingerie.
Always use the delicate cycle for machine washing.
Always fasten hooks and eyes if you are machine washing bras, corsets or any lingerie item that has these features.
It is best to air dry rather than use dry, hot air in a dryer.
There are 3 ways to air dry your lingerie: line dry, drip dry or dry flat on a clean and dry towel.
Silk lingerie items should always be dried flat to avoid stretching. Roll the lingerie in a towel and place it flat on another towel to dry.
Never dry silk in direct sunlight because the color will fade.
Never spray perfume, fragrance or any such body products on silk because it will stain.
It’s best to treat fresh stains as soon as possible. Briefly soak, and then gently press (not wringing) the lingerie in cold water a few minutes prior to washing.
Always wash colors separately.
Never use bleach.
Hang lingerie in a steamy bathroom to remove wrinkles. If you choose to iron, always make sure that the lingerie is slightly damp and use gentle steaming to remove wrinkles.
