Did you know that bras can absorb bacteria and sweat every day they are worn? That's why it's imperative to know how to care for your bra. It should not be washed or even stored. Some bras are not designed to be treated roughly.
Below are ways to care for your bra:
1. Be careful with stains
Before throwing bras into the water, look for stains that require washing or special attention. If so, prewash this area gently before soaking it completely. Also, check the hooks and straps of your bra to see if they are still intact; if not, replace them.
2. Mild detergent
Your choice of detergent It matters if you want your bra to last. The detergent should not be harsh on the fabric because it can change the shape of the bra, causing discoloration and wear. A damaged bra would affect your skin, so pay attention to the chemical composition of the detergent you want to buy or opt for those specific for delicate fabrics.
3. Wash properly
Another way to care for your bra is to soak it in warm water with a mild detergent, as mentioned above. Do not use hot water so that it does not discolour or discolour your underwear. Let the bra soak for a few minutes, then wash it well, rinse it, and gently wring it out. Do not twist it to remove water.
4. Air dry your bra
The best way to maintain the shape of your bras is to always air dry them. Avoid twisting, instead lay the bra flat and hang it from the center, not the straps, as this will stretch your underwear.
5. Proper storage
Placing bras inside each other or hanging them by the straps can damage the shape. Instead, you should make it flat to protect the cup and its elasticity.
