Lingerie Care Instructions

Our Lingerie pieces are unique. They are a delicate satin. Since these are hand-made pieces, precautions in manufacturing started with manicures for employees. They then wore felt gloves. Also, rough surfaces were buffed and polished.

Such fabrics can be picky – literally. To keep these small, distracting picks to a minimum, use extra care in lingerie handling. That includes keeping your fabrics away from rough surface or anything that might have rough edges.

Given all the extra care that went into the snag-free manufacturing of our lingerie, we’re sure you’ll be happy to take some extra time in caring for these unique sets.

HAND WASH CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Separate your lingerie into like colors. With dyed fabrics it is common to see coloration of the wash water.
Fill a sink or a smooth dishwashing container with lukewarm water.
Add a mild detergent formulated for delicate fabrics. Woollite® is a decent brand. The Internet is also full of lingerie-specific detergents. One site we’ve found to be useful for the care of fabrics is: www.thelaundress.com
Swirl and massage the fabrics. Pay attention to soiled areas, such as bands and gussets.
Soak for at least an hour.
Rinse in cold water, gently turning and squeezing the fabric until suds disappear.
Squeeze out excess water. Don’t wring fabrics. Use a towel to remove additional water.
Lay flat on a dry towel, atop a drying rack.

The more attention you give to caring for your lingerie, the longer it will last.
