When owning new sexy lingerie, one of the most important things to remember is your skin. Just wash them before wearing. For sanitary reasons and to rid the new garments of potential chemical residue, it is a good idea to wash new lingerie.

1. Do not mix the dark coloured ones with the light ones. Yes, this is a basic rule but we still do this when we are lazy, lumping them together in a tub and then tears roll down when the pure white lace becomes antique rust colour.
2. As a guideline, most lingerie (especially if it’s made of lace) should be hand washed in cold water with mild soap or a detergent made for hand washing, such as Woolite. Remember to fasten any snaps, clasps or buttons while you’re doing this to avoid any snagging or tearing of the material. Give it a good rinse when you’re done, and then let it hang dry. Never machine dry your lingerie, unless told otherwise.
3.  Use washing machine’s- if you have a lot of lingerie, hand washing may seem like an exhausting task. Use a lingerie bag or small washing bag for your garments so they don’t get caught on anything during the cycle. And again, let your lingerie hang dry.

Dealing with Nylon
Nylon is one of the materials that can be washed using the delicate cycle of your washing machine. It is also one that can be dried in the drier; however, make sure to add a dryer sheet to avoid static electricity. Otherwise, your pantyhose will stick to everything — and that’s never a good thing.

Cleaning Silk
When it comes to silk, the fabric is fragile, so it’s important to follow these tips:
- Never scrub or wring silk 
- Never wear silk in direct sunlight. (It fades easily.) 
- Never clean just a spot or section of silk with water — clean the entire garment. 
- Never spray perfume on silk

Corsets Care
Corsets can be an investment (sometimes worth hundreds of dollars), so you want to treat it with tender love and care. For the best results, it’s always good to have it dry cleaned by a professional. And even then, ask for it to be washed by hand.
However, to keep dry cleaning bills down, here are a few guidelines to keep your corset fresh and clean:
- Instead of washing your corset every time you wear it, use a damp cloth to clean its lining. 
- Try wearing a thin camisole underneath it to prevent any excess perspiration that can dirty it. 
- It’s always a good idea to treat your corset with a fabric protector before wearing it. That way if anything spills on it, it can easily be wiped off.
