3. You’re not using a lingerie bag. Barton advises washing bras by hand but if you would rather put them in a machine (absolutely no judgment here) she suggests using a mesh lingerie bag. The bag will protect bras from becoming stretched out, and keep hooks from snagging on any other clothing you’re washing with them.
What is the best way to wash bra?
The best way to wash bras and other delicate clothing is by hand, using a mild detergent. We recommend Soak because you don’t have to rinse it out, so it’s gentler on some fabric fibers (especially silk or wool) and saves water.
How often should you wash your bras?
How often you need to wash your bras isn’t an exact science. But dermatologist Alok Vij, MD, says that as a general rule, you should wash them after every two to three wears.
Are mesh laundry bags good?
The mesh is heat-resistant and allows for water to permeate the bag freely, so your clothes will be just as clean as they would without the bag—but without the clothing murder scene. Delicate fabrics are preserved and embellishments last longer. Mesh laundry bags are a definite win-win.
