Fashion Fix Friday: Dingy Delicates

You buy the perfect white lace bra and panties, and wear them a couple of times. You wash them, and almost overnight they become dingy delicates. How do you keep your delicates from yellowing or getting dingy?  For this Fashion Fix Friday, we’re going to tell you how to make sure your delicates — lingerie, bras, panties, you name it — stay in the best shape possible.

Fashion Fix Friday Dingy Delicates: Detergent

The best way to prevent your dirty delicates from getting dingy?  Wash them properly.  Avoid the regular detergent that you use for the rest of your clothes and instead use a gentle one specifically created for delicates.  We love several different washes:

• Forever New Fabric Care Wash
• Eucalan Fine Fabric Wash
• Caldrea Delicates Wash

Be sure that you use these for hand washing or on the delicates cycle in your washer.

Fashion Fix Friday Dingy Delicates: Lingerie Bags

You don’t want your delicates to be stressed when they’re washed, nor do you want hooks, eyes, or straps ripping or getting tangled.  Use a lingerie bag for all of your fine washables, if you’re not hand washing.  It will keep them safe and secure and make sure they last as long as possible.  Our Deluxe Fine Mesh Lingerie Bag comes in two sizes and ensures water and detergent can get in, but nothing will get tangled.  Buy a couple to have on hand.
