Care & Maintenance Guidelines 💫

To ensure your steampunk corset maintains its beauty and structural integrity for years to come:

• Cleaning: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, or gently machine wash on a delicate cycle in a mesh bag. Avoid harsh bleaching agents or fabric softeners
• Drying: Air dry flat or hung on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight. Never machine dry, as heat can damage the spandex and affect the bone structure
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Use cedar blocks or lavender sachets to maintain freshness. Avoid plastic storage bags that can trap moisture
• Zipper Care: Occasionally run a dry graphite pencil along the zipper tracks to ensure smooth operation. Keep the zipper free of lint and debris
• Metal Elements: The metal eyelets and zipper are designed to resist corrosion, but occasional gentle polishing with a soft cloth keeps them lustrous
• Bone Maintenance: The plastic bones are durable but should not be bent forcefully. If stored for extended periods, occasionally check that bones have not shifted or cracked
