Maintaining your lingerie

The House shares with you all its secrets for taking care of your lingerie and your swimwear.

WHY SHOULD WE TAKE CARE OF IT?

Maison Lejaby works every day on lingerie pieces made from delicate materials , which provide a unique well-fit that will last over time.

A bra is made up of around 50 delicate parts whose quality of materials and natural dyes can be altered by washing.
This is why it is essential to take proper care of your lingerie and swimwear.

HOW TO WASH YOUR LINGERIE?

We recommend hand washing, which is gentler and more respectful, rather than machine washing, which can damage the fibres of the underwear and break the bra stays.

Hand washing is more gentle on bra straps and helps keep their elasticity. And contrary to popular belief, it's just as easy as machine washing!

Here are some tips to help you wash your lingerie by hand without constraints, as well as some advice if you still want to use your washing machine:

1- HAND WASH

Three steps are enough to give your lingerie all the care it deserves:

1. Prepare your jewelry , a container and your no-rinse laundry detergent specialized for lingerie and swimwear. You can also use Marseille soap.

2. In a little cool water , so as not to damage the fibers, pour a teaspoon of detergent and leave to act for 15 minutes . This time is necessary for dirt and odors to be absorbed and retained in the water.

3. Carefully remove your lingerie from the water, without rinsing it. If you use soap, rinse your set in cold water. Leave to dry flat, away from sunlight .

2- MACHINE WASHING

If you still want to machine wash your lingerie , there are three steps to follow:

1. Protect your lingerie by putting them in an eco-friendly washing net

2. Wash your laundry at a low temperature : 30° maximum, without fabric softener and without drying .

3. Leave your pieces to dry flat and away from direct sunlight .
