How to Property Wash a Bra

One question that many petite women with 34a bra sizes have is how to wash their bras or  properly. This question may be more important than you think. After all, if you do not wash them properly, they could end up causing you problems in some way or another. Although there are going to be different methods that can be considered, here are a few tips that will help you to get the most out of the process.

First of all, you should consider the timing of when the bra needs to be washed. It is generally recommended that you wash it every other time you wear it, unless you are talking about a sports bra, which should be washed more frequently. It is also a good idea for you to hand wash the bra in cold water and without the use of bleach. If you are going to put it in the laundry, make sure that you fix the clasps ahead of time so that they don’t become tangled or damage any other delicate clothing that may be in the wash. If you have a laundry bag which can be thrown into the wash, it can offer additional protection (Source: Size A bra at Lula Lu).

Avoid mixing any whites in with colors, particularly when you are doing delicate items such as bras. Keep the loads relatively light to avoid damaging some of the more delicate items and after you wash them, hang them to dry instead of putting them in the dryer, where shrinkage could occur. That will not only help to keep them clean, it will help to keep them comfortable.
