By following these tips for washing and caring for your bras, you can extend the life of your lingerie and ensure that you are getting the best support and comfort possible. Remember, a well-cared-for bra is a happy bra!
HAND WASHING
(FOR THOSE OF US WITH MORE TIME AND PATIENCE)
- Use mild detergent dissolved in warm water in a sink or basin.
- Submerge your bras and let them soak for 15 minutes.
- Gently scrub and pay attention to any dirty spots.
- Rinse with cool water and air dry.
MACHINE WASHING
(FOR THOSE OF US WHO LACK TIME AND PATIENCE!)
- Place bras in a mesh lingerie bag. Make sure all bras are closed before placing in the lingerie bag.
- Wash with lightweight, synthetic fabrics. Avoid washing with fabrics like cotton, which can cause pilling.
- Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a little detergent.
- Air dry your bras instead of using a dryer to extend their lifespan.
- Avoid hanging them by their straps to prevent stretching or damage.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
- Use gentle detergents without harsh chemicals that can damage or shrink bra materials.
- Avoid over-washing; most bras can be worn several times before needing to be cleaned, as excessive washing can wear out the fabric and elastic.
- Rotate your bras to allow them to rest between wears, extending their life.
