Caring for Vintage Lingerie
|
-
All of our lingerie items are hand~washed, line~dried, tagged, then put away in storage. They may arrive wrinkled when you receive them.
-
We recommend hand washing using a gentle "swishing" motion in lukewarm water using Liquid Ivory Snow. We do not recommend Woolite.
-
We recommend using a small portable dishtub instead of filling the whole sink to conserve water usage. Only use a little soap as you do not need much.
-
Rinse well (do not wring) by filling the same tub with clean water until no more soap is present.
-
Hang to drip dry in the tub. You can also dry on a wooden clothes rack but be sure to lay a clean towel down first to prevent snags.
-
Do not dry in the sun as this could damage the fibers.
-
You can lightly press on a very low setting to remove wrinkles if needed. This works well when the fabric is just ever so slightly still damp. Be sure to turn the garment inside out first. If you are still nervous about it press with a thin towel over the surface of the fabric.
-
Never wash items in the washing machine even on gentle.
