Caring for Your Lingerie

Beautiful lingerie deserves a little extra care. With the right washing routine, you can help preserve the colour, shape, and delicate fabrics of your favourite pieces for longer.

Hand Wash with Forever & Ever

For the best care, hand wash your lingerie using Forever & Ever (formerly Forever New). This biodegradable, citrus-based cleanser is specially formulated for lingerie. Unlike many gentle detergents, it helps maintain garment size while protecting colour and delicate fabrics.

How Often Should You Wash Your Lingerie?

For best results, wash your lingerie after every 1–3 wears. Washing regularly helps keep your pieces fresh, and fitting snuggly.

A Simple Lingerie Washing Routine

1. 1. - Fill a basin with cool water and add a small amount of Forever & Ever.
   2. - Sort like colours.
   3. - Allow your lingerie to soak for 20 minutes.
   4. - Gently rub any areas that need extra care.
   5. - Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
   6. - Hang your lingerie to air dry.

Skip the Machines

When it comes to lingerie, the machines are too harsh. Washing machines agitate your garments causing wires to poke through, or lace to tear. Never place lingerie in the dryer, as heat can damage fabrics and affect the garment’s shape and fit.

With a gentle hand-washing routine and the right cleanser, you can keep your lingerie looking beautiful, feeling comfortable, and maintaining its shape wear after wear.
