All About...Care

Lingerie

To keep your underwear in great condition, we advise you to hand wash it in cool water.  It is best to use cool water as hot water can sometimes damage the delicate fabric of the underwear.  Also, cool water helps to keep the colour of the garment longer, keeping white lingerie items as fresh as they were the day you bought them. 

Underwired Garments

When washing all underwired garments, including bras, swimwear or strappy tops, remember that washing machines can damage these items quite easily.  We recommend you to hand wash these items.  Stray wires have a tendency to cause havoc with delicate fabrics, not to mention causing considerable upset to your washing machine!  Tumble dryers and radiators can also damage the wires in garments, so we recommend you to dry your garments away from these direct heat sources.

Swimwear

Swimwear has quite a lot to contend with - suntan lotion, perspiration and chemicals to name a few.  In order to keep your swimwear in excellent condition, we recommend that you rinse it out in cold water straight after use. 

It is advisable to hand wash swimwear, but try to avoid fabric softener as this can eat away at the lycra in the swimwear. 

Although sun protection is vital, remember that it can stain your swimwear, so apply lotion before putting your swimwear on.  Rinsing it out with cold water after you have been out in the sun will also help to minimize the damaging effects of the lotion.

Enjoy your new garments – with a little bit of TLC, they will reward you time and time again.
