Keep your Kane Garter with Removable Choker looking its best with these simple washing, drying, and storage steps—plus mistakes to avoid.
Quick Answer
Hand wash your Kane Garter with Removable Choker in cold water with a gentle detergent, air dry it flat, and store it separately to prevent snags and keep the hardware shiny.
Why Hand Washing Matters
The Kane Garter features delicate lace and adjustable hardware, including a center-back closure and center-front adjustability. Machine washing can snag the lace and dull the metal, so hand washing is the safest way to preserve both the fabric and the finish.
The Removable Choker Needs Extra Attention
Because the choker is removable, it can easily get tangled or lost during washing. Treat it as a separate piece: fasten any clasps before washing, and consider placing it in a small mesh bag even when hand washing to keep it from slipping away.
Step-by-Step Care Routine
- Prepare the garter and choker: Remove the choker from the garter and fasten all hooks and clasps. This prevents snagging and keeps small parts together. Check that all closures are secure before washing.
- Hand wash in cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of mild lingerie detergent. Submerge the garter and choker, gently swirl for a few minutes, and avoid scrubbing or twisting. Never use hot water or regular detergent—it can weaken the lace.
- Rinse thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cold water. Swirl gently until no suds remain. Repeat if needed. Residual detergent can irritate skin, so rinse until water runs clear.
- Press out excess water: Lay the pieces on a clean, dry towel. Roll the towel gently to absorb moisture. Do not wring or twist the fabric. Wringing can distort the lace and damage the elastic.
- Air dry flat: Place the garter and choker on a dry towel or drying rack away from direct sunlight and heat. Reshape gently while damp. Never tumble dry—heat can shrink or warp the fabric.
- Store properly: Once completely dry, store the garter and choker separately in a lingerie bag or drawer compartment. Keep away from rough fabrics that could snag the lace. Separate storage prevents tangling and keeps the pieces ready to wear.
