Sexy Clothing

We know that not everyone is laundry smart. Everyone, at some point in time, has turned all of their clothes pink or blue because they didn’t sort colors. Before we launch into an exhaustive list of stains that may unfortunately appear on your sexy clothes and how to deal with these stains, hopefully salvaging your favorite piece of sexy clubwear, we need to go over some basic definitions.

Basic Laundry Tools

Detergent – all-purpose synthetic detergent (liquid or powder). Use liquid detergent full strength; mix powder with water to form a paste when working into stain.

Dry Cleaning Solvent – stain and spot removers available at grocery and hardware stores. A nonflammable type is safest to use.

Bleach – is a chemical that removes colors or whitens usually by oxidation. Common chemical bleaches include household chlorine bleach, which usually contains sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), and oxygen bleach, which usually contains hydrogen peroxide. When using a bleach, do not try to bleach just one area of garment; bleach the entire garment to prevent uneven color removal.

Stain Stick – an enzyme based cleaner available at grocery and discount stores. Most effective on food, grease, oil, protein, and dirt-based stains and can be used on any fabric and color. It can remain on fabric for up to one week.

Fabric Softener - also called fabric conditioner, is used to prevent static cling and make fabric softer. Fabric softeners are available as a liquid or as dryer sheets.
