Look after corsets

Caring for a corset involves several important steps that will help maintain its quality and extend its service life.

  1. Proper storage: Store the corset in a clean and dry place to avoid stains and odors. Avoid prolonged storage of the corset in a compressed state, as this can damage its shape.
  2. Hand washing: Many corsets require hand washing in cool water (30-35 degrees) with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or chlorine, as they can damage the fabric and reinforcements.
  3. Drying: After washing, gently squeeze out excess water and let the corset air dry. Avoid wringing or using a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the fabric and reinforcements.
  4. Lacing storage: If your corset has lacing, make sure to remove it to prevent tangling. Also, keep an eye on the condition of the lacing and replace it if necessary.
  5. Regular inspection: Periodically check the corset for damage, wear, or loose lacing. Regular maintenance will help prevent more serious issues.
