Hi everyone!! Educator here!!

I haven’t seen any posts about this (excuse me if I missed it) but I figured I’d let you guys know how to care for your items. I’ve read some reviews on products and it seems like a lot of people don’t know the following tips!

  1. DO NOT put ANYTHING in the dryer!!! This will extend the longevity of your products by far. Hang-dry always for all lulu items. If absolutely necessary, you can use an air dry cycle to get the lint off but do not use heat AT ALL.

  2. Wash cold with similar items. Avoid washing with rough items like jeans, towels, things like that. Harsh zippers and other fabrics can snag the material in the wash.

  3. Avoid fabric softener. This thins out fabric and should be avoided at all costs!!

I hope this helps!! 😊

      What does the garment bag do? I’ve heard about this but don’t know what its for.

      I want to air dry but my basement is way too cold, it takes like 3 days for anything to dry and I worry about mold.

        I love my garment bags! I have them in all sizes for things like lulu and bras (always have your bras in their own! Mine have a circular band to protect underwires from being bent by the agitator if you have that kind of machine). I really love them for washing sweaters, though (you need the big ones for this)- my sweaters, bras and leggings mainly last so much longer washed in garment bags. They don’t get stretched out or wound around other things or snagged/pilled. Just make sure they have a little room in the bag and aren’t stuffed in there or they won’t get clean.

        For me it’s like a mesh ziplock bag that prevents anything inside from snagging on anything else. It’s also great for regular bras, since sometimes the bra clasp unhooks and can mess stuff up.

        A garment bag helps the garment not rub against others. Thus, it helps with chafing and pilling too. It won’t get pulled around as much and can stay put.
