Bras are the main character of your entire wardrobe. From providing you with much-needed support to bringing confidence, they are one of the most hard-working garments. Not only is a bra the foundation of your outfits, but it also keeps your posture aligned the entire day saving you from potential health problems like back pain. With bras being such a big support system in our lives, washing and maintaining them the right way is the least we can do to enhance their durability. Sadly, most of us don’t know the correct way of washing bras which causes them to wear out or lose stretchability faster than usual.
In this guide, we’ll tell you about the correct way of washing and drying bras so you can retain their durability for a long period.
How Often To Wash Your Bras
I bet most of us have been wearing bras for years now and still don’t know the exact answer to this question. Is washing them daily too much for them to handle? How frequently you wash your bras depends on how many you have in your closet. As a general rule, you should wear the same bra two days in a row. So let’s say if you have 3 bras, then you can go three to four wears before washing. You should wash your bras more often when dirty or sweat-soaked, especially during the summer months.
How To Wash Bras By Hand
Some bras must be washed by hand. Always read the label on the bras as most of them instruct to avoid machine wash. Bras with care labels that only allow hand washing are mostly made of silk fabric requiring extra care.
Close the hooks on the bra then submerge it in lukewarm water mixed with a tablespoon of detergent. Let it soak for 10 minutes and avoid rubbing or twisting the bra. Now carefully rinse the bra without twisting and wringing it. Wrap it in a towel to soak excess moisture and let it air dry.
