How do I care for my Hanky Panky products?Updated 2 years ago

To extend the life of your lingerie, we strongly recommend that you hand wash in cool water and dry flat or hang to dry. For best results use a mild detergent. Also, please remember that residue from harsh cleansers in the sink can contribute to the damage of any lingerie, regardless of the hand wash instruction.

REAL SIMPLE magazine writes, "Peroxide from some toothpaste and caustic agents from other cleansers can bleach, stain, degrade and even disintegrate delicate fabrics. Don't throw lingerie into the sink for hand washing...; put a colander in the sink and wash the garments in it."

When you can't hand wash, a Lingerie Wash Bag is the next best thing. Make sure you use the gentle cycle on your washer! A wash bag was designed to protect your precious Hanky Panky items from the ravages of the washing machine. Each bag can protect camis, chemises, and panties in the washer, and keeps them separated, so that you may hang them to dry. Machine drying is not recommended, as heat can damage the stretch properties of elastic.
