How To Wash And Dry Your Bras The Right Way

It doesn’t matter if it’s a regular t-shirt bra or your fancy for-special-occasions lace bra, the same care should be taken when washing all your delicates, to keeping them looking their best. We don’t discriminate here.

Here are the tips on how to wash your bras without ruining them:

1.     Don’t wash them after every single wear

There’s no exact rule about when to wash your bra. You don’t want to wash it after every wear since that will stretch it out faster. Some people wash their bras after a certain number of wears, while others say if it smells, it’s time to pop it in the wash.

2. Try to hand wash whenever possible  and If you must put them in the washing machine, use a lingerie bag

Most experts, recommend that you hand wash your delicates. Yes, it’s a bit time consuming but you extend the life of your bras significantly. Miss30 suggests using gentle soap flakes, hand washing liquid or a neutral shampoo. Use cool to lukewarm water–get the tap too hot and you’ll risk that pretty pink bra’s color bleeding.

A lingerie bag helps protect your dainty bras from the wear and tear of the washing machine. Make sure you set the machine to cold wash on a gentle cycle. The same laundry 101 rules apply to bras. Wash your darks and lights separate. Also, try to wash your bras with other lightweight pieces–don’t throw them in with your white jeans, towels or your jacket.

3. Don’t ever put them in the dryer

Never, ever put your bra in the dryer. If you don’t have any dry bras, either wear the thing wet or go braless. Seriously. One of those other laundry symbols on your bra tag (the square with the semi circle at the top) means lay flat to dry.
