- 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 washing products just as well at 40ºC, often even at 30ºC.
- dry lingerie away from direct heat such as radiators, fires and even hot sunshine otherwise they may discolour, especially whites.
- 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.
