Lingerie Care Tips
- Always read and follow care instructions on the label.
- Use a lingerie wash bag when washing underwear in a machine.
- Hand wash any bra with an underwire - wires can be bent, damaged or broken or may even come out in the washing machine.
- Wash lingerie frequently to keep it in tip-top condition - perspiration, perfumes and body lotions can all mark the fabric and regular washing minimises the risk.
- When hand washing always choose a washing liquid or powder specially made for delicate fabrics - make sure all powder is dissolved before putting garments in the water.
- Don't leave lingerie to soak for more than five minutes.
- Wash darker colours separately.
- Don't exceed the recommended washing temperature - remember the latest products wash just as well at 40°C, often even at 30°C.
- Dry lingerie away from direct heat such as radiators, fires and even hot sunshine otherwise they may discolour, especially whites/light colours.
- Avoid catching delicate fabrics and laces with clothes pegs - use the washing label to peg bras and pants to the line.
- Do not tumble dry lingerie unless the care label provides specific instructions.

Swimwear Care Tips
- Swimwear needs extra special care to enjoy a longer life - especially if used regularly in a chlorinated pool. All the washing advice for lingerie applies, but swimwear often faces greater punishment at the beach or pool.
- Always rinse swimwear in fresh, tepid water as soon as possible - immediately is best - after every wear.
- Follow this, again as soon as possible, with a hand wash in a gentle detergent and a very thorough rinse.
- Never leave your swimwear wrapped up in a damp towel!
- If you want your swimsuit or bikini to dry extra-fast, roll it gently in a dry towel to soak up excess water, then hang away from direct heat.
- Never tumble dry or iron swimwear.
- Remember pool chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics and sun oils and creams could damage and discolour swimwear, especially designs using elastane.
- Try the peg-the-label trick to avoid catching the fabric - or hang your swimwear to dry on a clothes hanger for maximum airing.
