HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CORSET:
Your Corset contains numerous steel components which will rust if you submerge it in water. We recommend Dry Cleaning for your Corsets, however, we understand Dry Cleaning regularly can be costly. We have put together our best tips to help you care for your Corsets and keep them cleaner for longer:
1) Our first and most important tip is to wear a Corset Liner with your Corset, this creates a protective barrier between your skin and the Corset. A Corset Liner will prevent any sweat, fake tan, or moisturisers on your skin from coming into contact with the fabric of the garment. Our Corset Liners are made with 75% Natural Bamboo and Spandex, which has a super soft touch as well as sweat-wicking and antibacterial properties. Even better it can be machine washed after use. A win-win for you and your Corset. You can purchase our Tube Liners via our online store
2) Dry kitchen sponges and lint rollers will be your new best friends!
You’ll be surprised at how much dust and hair your Corset can collect! A quick lint roll can spruce up your Corset instantly!
3) Notice a dry stain on your Corset? Don’t panic, use a new clean and dry kitchen sponge and gently rub over the mark, you’ll be amazed at what you can remove.
For PVC Corsets, use a damp cloth to softly wipe any stains away, we do encourage you to be extremely gentle as PVC is actually a delicate fabric and we don’t want you to damage it
4) Spilt liquid on your Corset? Lay it flat in a dry place or airing cupboard, we want it to dry quickly to avoid damage to the steel bones
5) Did you know that many Dry Cleaners offer a Spot Clean Service for smaller marks and stains, this is a great way to save some pennies if you whole Corset doesn’t need cleaning!
STORE YOUR CORSET:
Store your Corset Flat
Tempting as it might be to come home after a long day, take off your Corset and throw it to the side. We suggest showing your Corset some love.
It is best to stored your Corset flat, this is because your Corset needs some space to ensure that the bones lie straight and level. A drawer is an ideal home for your Corset, but try avoid cramming the garment in with too many other items of clothing… yes, that includes other Corsets!
We suggest storing each of your Corsets in a dust bag. You can always use a Cotton Pillowcase as a dust bag to protect your corset when you are not wearing it.
