Girdle care
Taking care of our girdle so that it retains its basic characteristics is very important. These are our recommendations for your washing process.
- Hand wash.
- Avoid abrasive detergents.
- Do not use aggressive cleaning products, as this can damage its fibers and alter its color in the case of chlorine.
- Do not put them in the dryer because their fabrics and elastic elements may be damaged.
- You should also try not to hang it in a place where the sun hits it directly.
If you DO use a washing machine (which is not ideal) we give you some tips that will help you take care of your garment.
- It is advisable to remove shapewear that includes straps or straps (such as bras) before washing them and try to wash them separately. This is done because these strips tend to move during turning and become wrapped around the strap, causing some damage.
- Wash it in special washing bags.
- Wash on delicate cycle and cold water.
- Always wash your sash completely closed or buttoned, this will prevent the hooks from becoming tangled and damaged.
- And remember not to put it in the dryer at all, since these are fibers that can be damaged by heat or reduce the useful life of the strap.
