How do I wash lace lingerie in the washing machine?

Lace is a delicate, fine fabric that adds a touch of elegance and femininity to any garment. However, caring for it can seem like a challenging task. In this article, we will guide you through the secrets of washing and drying lace lingerie in the washing machine without compromising its beauty and durability. You can keep your lace garments as good as new with a few tricks and the right products.

How to machine wash lace lingerie

When it comes to washing lace lingerie in the washing machine, gentleness is the key. First, make sure to close all fastenings and zips to prevent them from catching on the lace in the wash. Place lace garments in a protective bag or pillowcase to avoid friction with other fabrics. Choose a mild detergent and select a low temperature or cold water wash cycle on your washing machine to preserve the integrity of the fibres. Avoid using fabric softeners as they may affect the texture of the fabric and its lustre.

Tricks for drying lace

After washing, it is essential to follow proper drying practices to preserve the integrity of the lace. Avoid twisting or wringing the garments, as this could irreparably deform them. Gently lay the lace on a flat surface, such as a clean towel, to allow air to circulate around the fabric.

Avoid direct exposure to the sun, which could fade the lace, and let it dry naturally. If you prefer to use a tumble dryer, set it to a low temperature and use a protective bag to prevent the lace from tangling with other garments. With these tricks, your lace will retain its beauty and softness even after numerous washes.

What product do I use to wash lace lingerie?

When it comes to washing lace lingerie safely and gently, choosing the right product is crucial. Chanteclair Sensitive Laundry Detergent is the ideal solution for caring for your lace garments. This detergent is specially formulated with a hypoallergenic base that is fragrance and dye free, making it perfect for anyone with sensitive and easily irritated skin

Take note!

By following these five tips, you can keep your lace lingerie in perfect condition and wear it with confidence on any occasion:

  1. Choose the appropriate cycle: select a delicate or specific washing cycle for delicate garments on your washing machine. This will help protect your lace in the wash, especially when using a detergent suitable for delicate garments.
  2. Use a laundry bag: place your lace garments inside a laundry bag or pillowcase to prevent them from catching on other garments or getting damaged during the wash cycle.
  3. Cold water: set the water temperature to cold or lukewarm. Avoid hot water, as it may damage or shrink the lace.
  4. Washing at low spin speed: set the spin speed to low or, if possible, switch it off completely. This helps prevent the lace from being torn or damaged in the spin cycle.
  5. Gentle drying: dry lace garments by hanging them rather than putting them in the dryer after washing. Avoid direct sunlight and hangers to prevent deformation.
