What is the best way to wash my lingerie?
Your delicate items don’t stand a chance against the rough agitation of the washing machine. The fabric may tangle, crease or bunch up, while underwires in bras may bend, lose their shape or pop out. Use our lingerie wash, Le Blanc, to care for your intimates. Soak the garments for about half an hour in lukewarm, soapy water before rinsing. Use slightly cooler water for bras, shapewear, and other highly elasticized items; the fabric actually gets “shocked” back into shape in colder water. Avoid hot water which will break down the elastic and shrink natural fibers. If you absolutely must machine wash, first hook your bras closed then put all like items in a mesh lingerie bag — and wash on the delicate cycle. The heat from the dryer will cause fabric to break down much more quickly, causing the garment to lose its shape and fit. Click the icons below to purchase a lingerie laundry bag or lingerie wash.
