All Bodas garments are easy to care for – however, we have provided some simple tips to ensure that your purchases remain as good as new, for as long as possible.

Labels

Our underwear is designed for everyday use - we want it to be as comfortable as possible, therefore we have made sure that all garment labels can be easily removed. Simply snip the two stitches which attach the white care label to the small grey Bodas tag and voilà, no more itchy labels.

Underwear

All of the underwear in our basic ranges can be washed in the machine at either 30˚ or on a delicates setting.

We advise that you use a mild non-biological detergent and refrain from using fabric softener to ensure that colours remain bright. We highly recommend that in lieu of fabric softener, you instead rinse your underwear in a mild solution of white vinegar (one capful per basin of water), if hand-washing, as this will not only enhance the appearance of your garments, but will also prolong their life.

Underwire and padded bras ought to be secured in a mesh laundry net before washing, to protect both the wiring of the bra and your machine.

None of our underwear should be tumble dried: many of our fabrics are very lightweight and dry extremely quickly by themselves.

For non-basic ranges, please read the individual garment care label. Delicate items, such as our new Mousseline collection, or underwear which is embellished with a lace trim (such as the Amadei or Boudoir ranges) should be hand-washed. Please bear in mind that whilst our basic underwear can be washed in the machine, as with any other items of clothing, it will tend to last longer if it is hand-washed.

Stain Removal

Soak or wash the item as quickly as possible, as it is far harder to remove stains once they have dried. Pre-wash stain removers are very effective; other stain removers can be placed in the washing machine along with your ordinary washing powder.

Nightwear and Cotton Tees

Nightwear and Cotton Tees should both be treated in the same way as our basic underwear.

Cashmere

All cashmere items should be dry-cleaned.

Swimwear

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

Hand-wash using a mild detergent. We highly recommend that you rinse your swimwear with a mild solution of white vinegar (one capful per basin of water).

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

Beachwear

Beachwear should be treated in the same way as our swimwear.
