Cleaning Silk, Leather and Vinyl Lingerie

Silk Lingerie

When it comes to cleaning silk, satin and synthetic lingerie, you should always dry clean them if possible, as this lingerie is made of very delicate material. Dry cleaning will also protect the material from shredding or loosing its color. If you are courageous or daring enough to risk washing your silks at home then you should be very careful and should use only mild detergents. Silk lingerie should be soaked in cold detergent water for about 20 to 30 minutes, to remove any stains or dirt particles. Only cold water should be used, as this protects the color of the garment. If there are any stains or marks on the lingerie, they should be rubbed very gently, to remove them. Silk should be dried flat and then ironed very gently on minimum heat.

Cleaning Leather Lingerie:

Cleaning and conditioning leather lingerie is a very simple process. Leather can be thought of as a type of skin. Just as the same way you need to clean and moisturize your own skin, leather needs to be maintained in the same way to stay beautiful, supple, pliable, and resilient.

Cleaning Leather Lingerie at home

In most cases all that is necessary to clean leather lingerie is a damp cloth or a store bought leather cleaner. There a variety of leather cleaners that you can find at the store that will do a pretty good job. This will remove any surface dust or dirt. Always follow the manufacturers' instructions when using a cleaner specifically for leather lingerie.

Hand Washing Leather Lingerie

Prepare, treat, and remove any stains on the leather before washing it. Using warm soapy water made with an gentle cleanser like baby shampoo, Dove or Ivory (preferably unscented), or soap flakes rub the leather with a soft cloth to produce a lather in any area you want to clean. Wipe away excess lather with a clean cloth. Rinse leather lingerie thoroughly either by running through warm water or wiping several times with a damp cloth. After that pat leather dry with a clean towel to remove excess water and moisture. Allow leather to dry flat in a warm place out of direct sunlight and away from any strong heat source such asoven, fireplace, heater, stove, etc.

Commercial Leather Lingerie Cleaning

Very special or very delicate leather lingerie items require professional cleaning. If you do not want to take any chances with cleaning it yourself there are a variety of professional leather cleaners that can do it for you. Many dry cleaners offer leather cleaning services whereby your leather lingerie is sent off site to a professional cleaning company and then returned to the dry cleaners. Although this process is done by professionals, slight variations in color, hue, texture, feel, and shape may result; so you should make certain to clean all matching lingerie items together.

Cleaning Leather in a Washing Machine

It's been said that leather lingerie can be washed using a washing machine set on a very gentle (wool or delicate cycle) setting with warm or cool water. However, this method comes with some risk. definitely the preferred method if you choose to do it yourself is hand washing.

Vinyl Lingerie

Vinyl Lingerie is really the easiest to clean as this fabric is very strong and resilient. You can use mild soap and warm water, but you should still only hand wash it. It is not a good idea to trust your vinyl lingerie to a washing machine, even though the material is strong and does not absorb water at the same rate as the other garments. To get the most wear out of your lingerie, washing by hand is the best method. Vinyl is not very porous, though, so it will be much easier to wash on your own with just soap and water. Let it air dry unless the instructions on the label tell you otherwise. In any case be sure to be careful with your lingerie as these are delicate items.

Why did the Christian community turn their backs on Pat Boone?

In 1997, Boone released In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy, a collection of heavy metal covers revamped to fit his style. To promote the album, he appeared at the American Music Awards in black leather, shocking audiences and losing his respectability among his largest constituency, conservative Christians. He was then fired from Gospel America, a TV show on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

About a year later, the controversy died down and many fans, including Jack Hayford, accepted his explanation of the leather outfit being a "parody of himself". He was re-hired by Trinity Broadcasting and Gospel America was brought back.

Granted, he was brought back, but the fact that he was fired for doing something that was essentially a goof is what stands out here, to me. Your thoughts?

Well I knew he was kidding but try joking with that bunch of stiffs!
