Hand Washing
Hand washing is the gentlest way to wash your body shaper. To hand wash your body shaper:
1. Fill a sink or basin with cold water and add a mild detergent.
2. Submerge the body shaper in the water and gently swish it around to loosen any dirt or debris.
3. Rinse the body shaper thoroughly with cold water until the water runs clear.
4. Gently squeeze out any excess water from the body shaper. Do not wring or twist the body shaper, as this can damage the fabric.
5. Lay the body shaper flat on a towel to dry. Do not hang the body shaper, as this can stretch the fabric.
Machine Washing
If you choose to machine wash your body shaper, be sure to use a gentle cycle and cold water. To machine wash your body shaper:
1. Place the body shaper in a mesh laundry bag to protect it from snags and tears.
2. Select the gentle cycle and cold water setting on your washing machine.
3. Add a mild detergent to the washing machine.

Drying
Never put your body shaper in the dryer, as this can damage the fabric and cause it to shrink. Instead, lay the body shaper flat on a towel to dry. You can also hang the body shaper on a clothesline, but be sure to place it in a shady area to prevent the fabric from fading.
