washing steel boned corsets

[Morrisonker]

Thought I'd see if any of you have experience that might help here instead of going on some website that might be speaking crap. I just bought a Heavy Red corset and I'm planning to wear it out tomorrow night for dancing and general merriment. I'm foreseeing some sweatiness so how do i go about washing it? I presume washing machines are a no-no, do I just kinda spot clean it with some warm soapy water? It's made of satin so I don't want to wreck the fabric.
Many thanks if you can help/suggest anything.

I've handwashed my satin steel boned corset and it came out OK. Just filled a basin with hot water and some washing powder, agitated it a little, and drip-dried it over the bath. I think those instructions came from Vollers, so they're probably reliable.
