How To Wash Your Bra? ..The Do’s & Dont’s
Want to get more life out of your bra then there is some do’s and don’ts you need to know.
1. Number 1 rule: wash in a lingerie bag! Why….. so it doesn’t hook onto the inside of your machine, break or stretch the hooks/fasteners. Also so it doesn’t grab everything else in sight in that wash…the mess I’ve had to untangle in the past ain’t pretty! (If you don’t have a linger bag- use a fine material -clean pillow slip and use an elastic band to tie it up at the end).
2. Ensure you fasten the hooks on the bra before washing. This will prevent them catching on other items in bag or if zipper comes undone.
3. For longer lasting colour in your bra ‘hand wash it’. Use cool water and a gentle soap made for delicate fabrics.
4. Air dry your bra after washing……….if you put it in the clothes dryer it will weakened the elastic ; however if you CAN’T resist ensure it stays in the lingerie bag so the hooks don’t get caught up in the other items plus also get bent & snap off.
5. Continually machine washing underwire bras can result in the wire coming out and lodging in your washing machine…..or even better your skin when wearing it. If you machine-wash these bras, make sure they’re inside a lingerie bag to extend its life of wear and tear.
6. Do not wash your bras after each and every wear. Rather wear at least two if not three times before washing.
