All Bodas garments are very simple and easy to care for. to keep them as good as new, here are some easy tips.

UNDERWEAR

Before wearing
To make Bodas products as comfortable as possible we have made the washing labels removable. Simply snip the two stitches fixing the care label to the Bodas label. No more scratchy labels.

Washing
Cotton: should be washed in the machine at 40°C degrees, or by hand.

Other fabrics: please read and follow the care instructions on the label. Some of our fabrics are more delicate than our Supima Cotton Collection and require special care, in particular when it comes to drying.

Coloureds: it is important to use a mild detergent designed for coloureds as others may contain bleach or whitening agents which can cause colours to fade.

Underwire and padded bras: ideally these should be washed by hand as they will tend to last longer. If you prefer to use a machine, we suggest that you safeguard both your bra and your machine by using a mesh laundry bag.

Rinsing
We highly recommend that if handwashing you rinse your Bodas underwear with a mild solution of white vinegar (one capful per basin of water) after washing with your normal detergent. This will not only enhance the appearance of your garments but also prolong their life. We do not recommend the use of softeners.

Drying
Avoid tumble drying at high temperatures and over-drying as this may shrink garments and will make them feel harder to the touch. Remove them promptly from the drier when they are still slightly damp. Fold and smooth them back into shape.

Ironing
It is easiest to iron garments when they are still slightly damp.

Stain removal
Soak or wash the item as quickly as possible as it is far harder to remove them once dry. Pre-wash stain removers such as Bio Tex are very effective. Other stain removers can be placed in the wash along with your normal washing powder.

NIGHTWEAR

This should be treated in the same way as our cotton underwear. 

SWIMWEAR

Rinsing
Swimwear should be rinsed in clean water after each use to remove sun-protection creams, salt water and swimming pool chemicals.

Washing
Handwash using a mild detergent. We highly recommend you rinse your Bodas swimwear with a mild solution of white vinegar (one capful per basin of water).

Drying
Do not tumble dry. Dry flat, away from direct sunlight to prevent colours from fading.
