How to Care for Lace Lingerie So It Lasts

Lace looks delicate because it is. Heat, hooks, and a crowded washer drum shorten the life of a set faster than wear alone. This guide keeps Passion Pulse lace lingerie looking sharp without a complicated laundry ritual.

Before the first wash

Check the care label on each piece. Close hooks and eyes. Place bras and delicate bottoms in a mesh laundry bag so straps do not catch. Separate dark dyes from white and pastel lace for the first few washes.

Hand-wash when you can

Fill a basin with cool water and a mild detergent made for delicates. Soak for a few minutes, gently press — do not wring or twist underwire. Rinse until the water runs clear. Press water out in a clean towel.

Machine wash, the careful way

If you machine wash, use a mesh bag, a delicate cycle, cold water, and a gentle detergent. Skip fabric softener on stretch lace; it can coat fibers and reduce recovery. Never put lace through a high-heat dryer.

Drying and storage

Lay pieces flat or hang bras from the center gore, not by a single strap. Store sets folded or on soft hangers so embroidery is not crushed. Keep hooks away from open lace panels in the drawer.

When to replace a piece

Retire a bra when the band rides up even on the tightest hook, when underwire pokes through, or when lace tears at stress points. A well-cared-for set lasts longer — and looks better in photos and under clothes.
