Care Guide
Caring for undies, sleepwear, and sportswear is key to keeping their quality and lasting long.
Here's how to clean them: Wash Lingerie by Hand:
Handwashing lingerie:
-
Pour mild soap made for delicate things into warm water in a sink or tub.
-
Soak lingerie in the water, gently shake to make sure dirt and oils come out.
-
Wait 10-15 minutes while lingerie soaks.
-
Clean areas that seem dirtier, like straps or wire parts.
-
Rinse lingerie until soap is totally gone.
-
Don't twist or squeeze the lingerie, it can ruin the material.
-
Put lingerie on a towel, roll it up to get extra water out.
-
Make sure lingerie is in its normal shape, then let air dry, but not in direct sun.
Nightwear and Workout Clothes:
-
Check labels on each piece for how to clean them.
-
Some sportswear and sleepwear can be in a washing machine, but some have to be hand-washed.
-
If the washing machine is okay, make clothes inside-out to keep printed areas safe.
-
Set the machine to gently, use cold water so clothes don't shrink or lose color.
-
Don't use softener, it can mess with the 'wicking' in workout clothes.
-
Instead of a drying machine, let hang or lay flat to air dry.
-
Too much heat can ruin the stretch in the fabric.

Common Tips:
-
Keep light and dark clothes apart during washing to avoid color transfer.
-
Don't mix delicate items like underwear and loungewear with rough materials such as denim, or with items having zippers or Velcro. This would help in avoiding any pull or tear.
-
Prompt stain treatment with an appropriate stain remover for the fabric can save it from permanent damage.
-
Storing clean underwear and similar items in a drawer or hanging them helps maintain their shape.
