- always read and follow care instructions on the label. - use a lingerie wash bag when washing underwear in a machine.- hand wash any bra with an underwire - wires can be bent, damaged or broken or may even come out in the washing machine.- wash lingerie frequently to keep it in tip-top condition - perspiration, perfumes and body lotions can all mark the fabric and regular washing minimises the risk.- when hand washing always choose a washing liquid or powder specially made for delicate fabrics - make sure all powder is dissolved before putting garments in the water. - don't leave lingerie to soak for more than five minutes.- wash darker colours separately.- don't exceed the recommended washing temperature - remember the latest washing products just as well at 40ºC, often even at 30ºC.- dry lingerie away from direct heat - radiators, fires, even hot sunshine - otherwise they may discolour, especially whites.- avoid catching delicate fabrics and laces with clothes pegs - use the washing label to peg bras and pants to the line.- do not tumble dry lingerie unless the care label provides specific instructions.

Swimwear needs extra special care to enjoy a longer life - especially if used regularly in a chlorinated pool.All the washing advice for lingerie applies, but swimwear often faces greater punishment at the beach or pool.- always rinse swimwear in fresh, tepid water as soon as possible - immediately is best - after every wear.- follow this, again as soon as possible, with a hand wash in a gentle detergent and a very thorough rinse.- never leave your swimwear wrapped up in a damp towel!- if you want your swimsuit or bikini to dry extra-fast, roll it gently in a dry towel to soak up excess water, then hang away from direct heat.- never tumble dry or iron swimwear.- remember pool chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, sun oils and creams could damage and discolour swimwear, especially designs using elastane.- try the peg-the-label trick to avoid catching the fabric - or hang your swimwear to dry on a clothes hanger for maximum airing.
