Cleaning sensitive garments or keeping them clean and neat is one of the most challenging things we find, even if it's about shapewear which is considered underwear. Maxdiel Slim knows that how well you care for your shapewear is what will keep your body garments effective for longer. 

Here's a list of tips and techniques for caring for your shapewear.

The garment should not be washed in the washing machine under any circumstances, as this will surely damage the faja; it must be hand-washed. 

Tip #2. Always use delicate detergent—or baby shampoo.

Regular laundry detergent is too harsh for shaper garments. Most brands will cause damage and discoloration to the fabric. Always use delicate focused soap and gentle detergent to keep your shapewear clean without wearing it out.
