FOR (ALMOST) ALL LINGERIE

THE CARE OF PRETTY THINGS - LINGERIE
FOR (ALMOST) ALL LINGERIE
Washing
We are in favour of machine washing but following these rules:
#1 Use a delicate cycle (30°C maximum),
#2 Fasten your bra before washing,
#3 Put your lingerie in a washing bag,
#4 Wash with similar colours.
If you prefer to hand wash your lingerie, that works too. We just advise you not to rub the fabrics together to avoid damaging them. It is better to soak them and then gently wring them out.
However, no dry cleaning!

Drying
We do not recommend putting your lingerie in the tumble dryer. It should be air-dried and protected from the sun's rays. A little patience goes a long way when you wear it again.
When dry
Once dry, it's done! No need to iron or steamer it. It's ready to add a little spice to your days and nights.
GUPPYFRIEND
It is recommended to use a wash bag like the Guppyfriend for your synthetic fibre pieces to reduce the release of micro-particles into the water. You can also use it for your natural or artificial fibre pieces to minimise the impact of the washing machine drum on your garments.
