Ideally, you should hand wash your lingerie in cold water, or if indicated, have it dry cleaned. For washing you should use a delicate soda-based fabric wash, such as Forever New, Eucalan, or Stergene. You should never wring out your lingerie, as this ruins it shape, as will throwing it into a dryer.

Hang-dry the lingerie after washing. If you do want to machine-wash your lingerie, use a lingerie bag and set the cycle to cold water. Lingerie bags are little mesh bags that allow in soap and water, but keep your lingerie from being stretched all around the machine.
