Caring for your nylon stockings & lingerie

March 19, 2008 | Filed Under Lingerie 

Caring for your sexy lingerie is easier than you think. You don’t have to worry about ruining your dedicates as long as you follow a few simple guidelines.

Some fabrics, such as acetate, silk,  some linen, and some rayon should be dry-cleaned only. Others, like cotton, polyester, spandex, nylon stockings and acrylics, can be machine-washed But most importantly remember to always refer to the care instructions on the garment itself before opting to follow directions from sites that break lingerie into general fabric categories.
If you’re dry cleaning your lingerie, you obviously won’t need anything on hand to clean with (unless you want to try a garment bag, the method of  do-it-yourself“dry cleaning”).

If your lingerie tag indicates that you need to wash the lingerie by hand, you’ll need to fill up your bathtub with water & a light detergent.  Soak your lingerie pieces in the water and soap for a little bit, then hand wash them thoroughly. After you hand wash the lingerie, rinse it thoroughly and then lay flat to dry. Occasionally you can throw certain types of lingerie into the dryer if you wish. Again, always refer to the garments care tags.
When you use the washing machine, always use the delicate cycle and gentle detergent when washing your lingerie. You may also want to use a garment bag made specifically for washing delicate items like lingerie. These bags protect your pretty little underthings from getting snagged or caught on something.

I hope I helped to calm your fears about caring for you intimate apparel so they’ll last longer and you can have more fun with them.
