- Separate Out Your Delicates - Keep
a small basket with your dirty laundry to throw your delicates into.
This makes it easy to care for them properly. Tip: Always read the
care label on the garment before washing.
- What Soap? Use a gentle soap
such as Soak or Forever New that is free of harsh sulphates,
phosphates and dye. These products work for hand-washing as well as for
high-efficiency machines and regular washing machines. Tip:
Eliminating harsh detergents
will extend the life of your delicates
- Hand-Washing - Hand-washing is great for lace bras
& panties and lace
trimmed sleepwear. It is by far the most
gentle way of caring for your delicates.
Tip: Roll
wet delicates in a towel to gently remove excess moisture.
- Love Your Washing Machine? Many
customers find it easier to launder their delicates in the machine.
Always wash with cold water and use the hand-wash or delicate
setting. Tip:
Placing your delicates in mesh bags to launder helps protect them.
Use a regular mesh
bag for delicate sleepwear and a wire-frame bra bag to wash your
bras.
- Skip The Dryer - Unless the garment tag specifically indicates to
tumble dry, most delicates need to be laid flat or hung to
dry. The dryer will shrink
bra underwire casings, turn lace brittle, shrink
cottons, and cause modals to pill. Tip: Some sleepwear
and cotton panties can be tumbled dry but only use the LOW setting on
your dryer.
