Here at Philocaly Lingerie we want you to feel your most beautiful while wearing our intricate pieces. Caring for your lingerie properly helps extend its lifespan and keeps it looking its best, while you feel your most confident. Here are some general tips for lingerie care:
Always check the care instructions on the garment's label. Different fabrics and designs may require specific care.
Hand washing is usually gentler than machine washing and helps preserve delicate fabrics. Use a mild detergent and lukewarm water. Soak the lingerie for a few minutes, gently agitate, and then rinse thoroughly.
If you prefer machine washing, place your lingerie in a mesh lingerie bag to protect it from getting tangled with other clothes. Fasten any hooks or clasps to avoid snagging. Wash light and dark-colored lingerie separately to prevent color bleeding. This is particularly important for vibrant or dark colors that may transfer onto lighter fabrics.
Fabric softeners can break down elastic fibers and delicate fabrics. Stick to a mild detergent designed for delicates.
After washing, reshape your lingerie and lay it flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid hanging bras by the straps, as this can cause them to lose their shape. Never wring out lingerie, as this can damage the delicate fabrics.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause colors to fade and weaken the fabric. Store your lingerie in a cool, dark place.
To prevent excessive wear, rotate your lingerie and avoid wearing the same pieces every day. This allows the elastic to recover and helps maintain the garment's shape.
Store your lingerie in a drawer or organizer where it can lay flat and maintain its shape. Consider folding bras to help them keep their form.
Be mindful of where you sit and what surfaces your lingerie comes into contact with. Rough surfaces can snag delicate fabrics.
Regularly inspect your lingerie for any signs of wear, loose threads, or stretched elastic. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
