Lingerie Care Instructions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most lingerie can be hand washed using a gentle non-colored shampoo
(baby shampoo is ideal) or silk wash, but never detergent, as it
strips the finish from the fabric. Use cold water and shampoo. Soak
the garment for 5 minutes, then hand wash gently. Do NOT wring or
twist. Rinse well in cool water and gently blot excess moisture. A
teaspoon of vinegar can be added to the rinse water to ensure all
soap is removed. Hang to dry, away from heat or sunlight. Warm iron
while still slightly damp, on wrong side. For dark colors and
prints, wash separately in warm water as they may run. Do not soak.
Move printed garments continuously to avoid dyes running into one
another. Always, always, always ... check the care label before
washing. Some garments MUST be dry cleaned, and for robes and
cover-ups, dry cleaning is recommended.

To assure long life wear, lingerie should be washed in cold water
with a gentle detergent, like Woolite®. Let them soak for 3
minutes. Gently squeeze the suds through the lingerie. Rinse them
thoroughly in cool or cold water. Roll them in a towel to remove
the excess water. Do NOT wring or twist your lingerie. Dry them
flat, away from heat and sun.
Hot water washing may shrink your satin lingerie from 10% to 20% in
size.
After the lingerie is dry, it should be ironed. Your new panties,
just like other fine lingerie, should only be ironed inside-out.
The iron should be set to light for the Charmeuse, and to
medium/light for the Bridal Satin. After ironing, your panties will
become noticeably softer. Nylon panties should not need ironing,
but if you do, use a light setting.
