Care for Lace Knickers: Ivory Spot Full Brief Guide

Quick Answer

To keep your lace knickers like the Ivory Spot Full Brief in great shape, hand wash them in cool water with a gentle detergent, then lay flat to dry—avoid the washing machine and dryer.

Step-by-Step Lace Knicker Care Routine

1. Hand Wash in Cool Water: Fill a basin with cool water and add a small amount of gentle lingerie detergent or mild soap. Submerge your lace knickers and gently swish them for a minute. Avoid rubbing or wringing the lace. Common mistake: using hot water or regular detergent can damage the lace fibers and cause fading.
2. Rinse Thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with cool water. Swish the knickers again to remove all detergent residue. Repeat if needed until the water runs clear. Leftover soap can irritate skin and make the lace feel sticky or stiff.
3. Press Out Excess Water: Lay the knickers on a clean, dry towel and roll the towel up gently. Press on the roll to absorb moisture. Never twist or wring the lace. Wringing stretches the elastic and can ruin the fit of the full brief.
4. Lay Flat to Dry: Place the knickers flat on a drying rack or a fresh towel, reshaping them to their original form. Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Hanging lace knickers by the waistband can cause stretching. A dryer will shrink or damage the lace.
5. Store Gently: Once dry, fold your lace knickers and store them in a drawer or lingerie bag. Avoid piling heavy items on top of them. Storing lace with rough fabrics like jeans can cause snags over time.
