Underwear is made of delicate fabrics, so it is not recommended to wash it in a general pile. In particular, bras can have foam inserts, bones to support the shape, various openwork elements. Throwing it in the washing machine, you can immediately say “goodbye!” beautiful thing It is important to understand how to wash a bra without harm.
In order for bras to keep their shape, it is important to store and wear them correctly. A few tips will help with this:
- Use special containers that retain the shape of the cups to store bras. If there are none, then do not leave your favorite thing unattended for a long time. Wear a bra from time to time, even just to walk around the house (if the product just sits in the closet for a long time, it may deform). For long-term storage, stack them cup in cup to keep their shape.
- Send bras to the wash without waiting for heavy soiling. In the summer, wash every day. In the cold season – after 3-5 socks. If you sweat a lot, immediately, after removing the bra, go to wash.
- Don’t leave bras lying around among the rest of your dirty clothes. The fabric will absorb the smell, and it will be unpleasant to wear afterwards.
- Store white bras separately from other clothes and do not wear them under colored clothes.
- Read the label on the product before washing, regarding the washing, drying and other nuances recommended by the manufacturer.
How to wash by hand
Bras are strongly recommended to be washed exclusively by hand, separately from other clothes. How to do it:
- Fill the basin with warm water of 30-35 degrees, no more.
- Use a detergent for delicate fabrics. It should not contain alcohol, chlorine and other aggressive substances. The best option is a liquid detergent. Use the powder only if you are sure that it has dissolved well in water.
- Lower the bra into the water. If you wash several, then first light, then colored and black, and in no case not together.
- Leave to soak for 10 minutes. If the bra has absorbed strong dirt and the smell of sweat , hold it under water for about an hour so that the detergent has time to work.
- Rub the product gently with your hands to remove dissolved dirt.
- Rinse. Better under running water. If you rinse in a basin, repeat the procedure several times until the water remains clean.
- Do not twist the bra by hand. Roll up in a terry towel without pressing too hard. This will absorb excess water.
- Put it on a towel to dry or hang it on a rope, but not by the straps, but between the cups in the middle.
