Maintaining the sheer beauty of fine lace and embroidered details requires gentle care when away from home. Consult the main guide for additional luggage tips before getting started.

Step 1: Prepare Your Wash Basin

!Step 1: Prepare Your Wash Basin

Fill a clean hotel sink or basin with cool to lukewarm water. Keep water temperatures at or below 30°C to protect fine lace and elastane fibers from losing elasticity. Mix in a small amount of pH-neutral delicate wash.

Step 2: Gently Cleanse the Delicate Fabric

Submerge your intimate wear, such as your unpadded floral lace bralette or sheer briefs. Swish the garments gently through the soapy water for two minutes. Avoid scrubbing embroidered floral details or scalloped lace edging roughly.

Step 3: Rinse and Remove Excess Moisture

Rinse thoroughly with clean water at 30°C. Press the garments gently against the basin edge to expel water. Do not wring or twist sheer lace or satin tie belts, as this deforms delicate construction.

Step 4: Air Dry Away from Direct Sunlight

Lay the pieces flat on a clean dry bath towel. Roll the towel up to absorb remaining moisture, then unroll and place garments flat on a drying rack away from harsh direct sunlight. This preserves vibrant color and fabric integrity throughout your vacation.
