SHAPSHE Teach You How to Properly Clean and Maintain Shapewear

Shapewear plays an important role in our daily life, but the correct way to clean and maintain it is often overlooked. Today, we will explore how to properly clean and maintain shapewear to extend its life and maintain its effect.

Hand Washing

Hand washing is generally the preferred method for cleaning shapewear, as it is gentler on the fabric and helps preserve its elasticity. To hand wash your shapewear, follow these steps:

• Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of gentle detergent.
• Submerge the shapewear and gently agitate the water to distribute the detergent.
• Allow the garment to soak for 10-15 minutes.
• Gently rub the fabric together to remove any dirt or sweat.
• Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all detergent residue is gone.
• Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing the fabric.

Machine Washing

If you prefer to use a washing machine, take extra precautions to protect your shapewear. Follow these steps for machine washing:

• Place the shapewear in a mesh laundry bag to prevent it from getting stretched or tangled.
• Use a gentle cycle with cold water to minimize wear and tear on the fabric.
• Add a small amount of gentle detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the elasticity of the material.
• After the cycle is complete, remove the shapewear from the mesh bag and gently press out excess water.

Tips for Maintaining Shapewear

• Regular replacement: Frequent wearing of shapewear is prone to accumulate sweat and bacteria. It is recommended to replace and wash it regularly to keep it clean and hygienic.
• Avoid friction: Avoid prolonged friction or contact with rough fabrics to avoid wear and damage.
• Avoid high temperatures: Avoid storing shapewear in high temperature environments for long periods of time to avoid aging and loss of elasticity.
• Proper storage: Stack or hang shapewear to avoid overlapping to maintain its shape and effect.

With the above simple steps and tips, you can easily maintain the quality and function of shapewear, allowing it to bring you lasting beauty and comfort.
