Since women consider sheer lingerie a luxury item, it should be taken care of properly. And when exactly should you begin caring for your lingerie? That would be the very moment after buying your sexy sheer lingerie.
Here's what you need to do:
1) Remember your sheer lingerie is made of very delicate materials that can rip easily if you are not careful. So ripping the tags off are a definite no for your lingerie. Instead remove your tags by using a sharp pair of scissors. This will prevent the ripping which is caused by forcefully pulling on your tags.
2) When you need to wash your lingerie, don't just throw it on your washing machine. The best way of cleaning your lingerie, sheer or otherwise, is still by hand washing it. Do you know that even if you change the setting of your washing machine to gentle, the machine can still ruin your sheer lingerie? Since we don't want this to happen, you need to take the time to hand wash your precious sheer lingerie.
3) Choosing between warm water and cold water is also important when washing your lingerie. For best results, use cold water and if you can, look for a detergent that is made for use on your delicate lingerie. When it comes to drying sheer lingerie, there's no need to expose it directly under the sun. The soft fabric which makes up your luxury item easily dries itself. Some lingerie will need to be dry cleaned, don't experiment to save a few bucks, you may end up ruining the lingerie. Follow the cleaning instructions that come with your lingerie strictly so that your lingerie lasts longer.
4) Finally, if you don't see any tags on your lingerie, here are some ways on how you can take better care of your new garments. For lingerie made of acetate materials, dry cleaning is the best. If it's made up of acrylic, this means the lingerie can either be hand washed or dry cleaned. While sheer garments that are partly made up of cotton can be hand washed as well as dry cleaned.
Always remember that sheer lingerie is not made of durable materials. They are usually delicate and can rip right before your eyes if you do not take extra care. Being careful with your lingerie does not only involve cleaning it the right way, but also putting it in the right place when you are not wearing it. You definitely don't want anyone or anything ruining your precious lingerie, so keep it safely away from kids and even pets. Make sure your lingerie is placed in a cabinet or drawer that is not easily accessible to anyone except for yourself.
Of course, you need to make sure that you purchase the right size of lingerie. Wearing the wrong size can cause you to become uncomfortable and worst you may even ruin your lingerie garments. Avoid this by being conscious of choosing the right lingerie size. Keep in mind when it comes to your lingerie, you alone can provide the best care for it.
