Bra Washing Bags Review

Laundry experiences stress during washing, which leads to depletion of fibers and a short service life of the product. As for the bra, it has a shape that can become deformed during the spin process. This is why a laundry bag is a must. In addition, it will protect the washing machine from metal wires that may fall out of the bra cups during washing, as well as from torn hooks and other small parts.

For your information! Even sports bras that do not have wires or hard cups are recommended to be washed in special bags. This will preserve their appearance for a long time.

All bags intended for washing bras differ in the material of manufacture, method of closure, and shape. The most common bags are made of nylon. They are inexpensive and meet the following requirements:

If you prefer the bra container, then place the product in it as follows. First, the straps are unfastened and placed in a smaller ball. Then the bra cups are placed in the halves of the ball, and a small ball is placed between them. This allows the product to retain its shape during washing.

How to wash properly

Manufacturers of underwear and many housewives recommend washing expensive underwear by hand. But if you want to spend time on this and choose machine washing, then do it correctly. The bra in the bag should be placed in the drum. It can only be washed with items of the same color and similar fabric. This means that you cannot wash underwear, for example, with woolen items.

To wash bras, it is correct to use liquid gels or capsules, as they dissolve better in water and are rinsed out of the fabric. The product is poured into the powder compartment.

Important! If you have worn your bra for more than three days, then before washing it, you need to soak it for half an hour in lukewarm water with a few drops of shampoo added. This way it washes better in the machine.

washing bra Next, select a delicate washing mode, at a temperature of no more than 40⁰S. But it’s better to read before washing information on the labelto make sure at what temperature to wash the product. As for the spin cycle, you don’t have to turn it off if you wash the product in a bag. But you cannot use the drying function. After washing, be sure to straighten your bra. To dry it properly, you need to hang it by the middle between the cups. Hanging by the strap causes it to be pulled out quickly.

Be careful when machine washing white bras. Lace underwear and underwear made from synthetic fabrics do not like too high temperatures and low-quality powders. Bras may turn gray or blue after washing this way. Therefore, we recommend washing white items by hand at least once every three days. As for bleaching, you can only use chlorine-free bleaches.

To summarize, we note that modern washing accessories allow you to machine wash even such a delicate item as a bra. It is enough to choose a good bag or container for washing, especially since it is inexpensive. But the washing result will please you, and the product’s life will be extended.
