How To Care For Bras

How to care for a bra

By following the recommended care instructions, you can prolong the life of your bras!

Here are a few simple tips that will help:
· All bras should be handwashed, especially underwire bras. If the underwire comes out, not only will the bra be ruined, but the wire could also cause severe damage to your washing machine.

· A mild detergent and lukewarm water are the safest way to wash a bra. Certain fabrics ;in the bra could melt in extremely hot water. And superstrong detergents can cause stretching in some materials.

· Never put your bra in the dryer. The bra can get twisted and lose its shape. Plus, some materials may shrink in the dryer. Line drying is the best way to dry a bra.

· Keep like colors together in washing (i.e., separate lights and darks).

· Washing your bra after each use helps to reduce discoloring.
