16 Apr How To Wash Bras and Delicate Clothes

Buying bras, underwear and delicate clothes are expensive, and everyone wants these clothes to be as durable as possible. Most delicate garments contain fibres that stretch and can lose their elasticity over time, but proper care can keep them fresh and long-lasting. The bra is always absorbing body oils, sweat, lotions, perfumes and even your skin cells. Elastic, the main material of bra straps, doesn’t show a good reaction (chemical reaction) when exposed to these elements for a long time. If not washed regularly, these materials reduce the elastic’s ability to stretch and contract. So if you want to keep these clothes in the best possible shape for a long time, you should wash them after each use and at the end of the day or at least after wearing them twice (two days). here are tips to wash bras and delicate clothes.

The proper way to wash bras

If you pay attention to the bras’ label, ‌ it’s usually written “hand wash”,, which of course has a good reason. Special care should be taken with sensitive clothing with a delicate and elastic structure and has seams, hooks, strings or buckles. The washing machine may remove the stitching around the bra wires and cause the wires to protrude. The pressure and friction of the washing machine remove the sensitive fibres and the elastic state of these clothes and causes them to become tangled, pulling the bra in all directions so much that it destroys its appearance. Hooks also get stuck on other garments, which can damage other clothes. For this reason, it’s better to wash bras by hand than washing it with a washing machine.

Observing the following points will increase the bra’s life:

• Most bras have a clip, which closes from the front or back. It’s better to close them before washing.
• Place the bra in a basin or sink filled with water with washing powder or special liquid. Soak the bra for a few minutes, then rub it gently and rinse with cool water. Then remove the excess water with a dry towel. Then hang them to dry.
• There’s generally no need to iron the bra, and you shouldn’t do so.
• If your bra has special wash instructions on its label, follow them.
• Don’t use bleach when washing your bra, and if you feel you have to do so for some reason, use a non-chlorinated bleach; Because chlorine destroys a substance called spandex, which is used in the bras’ production.
• Never put the bra in the dryer. The heat damages the spandex and the elastic. Putting the bra in the open air and hanging it on a strap in a room, balcony, or yard is enough to kill bacteria. Of course, note that in this method, you should remove the clothes as soon as they dry so that they don’t absorb the environmental pollution.
• To dry silk or lace lingerie, it’s better not to expose it to sunlight. You should put them on a clean towel to dry the clothes completely for this type of underwear.
• If you are worried that your bra may stretch, place it on a flat surface as hanging may deform or damage its shape.
• Use a mesh bag to wash the bra. Before putting bras in the washing machine, just put them in the bag, then squeeze or fasten them tightly. If you don’t have a bag for underwear, you can use a pillowcase and tie it from above.
• Before washing, gently rub and remove sweat stains with soap and water. Then let them soak for a few minutes and rinse gently in cold water.
• Some clothes are sensitive to detergents. In this case, use a mild detergent and softener. If you don’t want to use chemical detergents, you can also use white vinegar to wash bras.

Tips for washing delicate clothes:

• Underwears are vital, especially for women; Because women always have secretions in their genitals and wet places are also a good place for bacteria to grow.
• The best option for washing underwear is light detergents, soap and soap powder not to cause skin allergies.
• Note that you should then rinse the underwear well to wash away the detergent particles completely. No trace of chemicals remains on the fabric, not to cause itching and inflammation of the genital area skin.
• Never put men’s and women’s underwear in the washing machine together and try to wash all underwear by hand so that less damage is done to the clothes. Moreover, germs don’t settle on the underwear from other clothes.
• Wash nylon or silk underwear in the mesh bag to prevent stretching and knotting.
• Wash the underwear with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse with cold water.
• Always dry underwears in the open air.
• you should remove any blood stains and lotions, or medications before rinsing.
• All stockings, tights and other delicate clothing should be washed by hand. Fill a sink with cold water. Add a mild detergent and gently squeeze your tights or delicate clothes. Let soak for at least 30 minutes, and then rinse in cold water. Wrap the clothes in a towel to absorb excess moisture. Hang at the end to dry.
• If you have washed well with the right detergent, you no longer need to iron, and you can expose your underwear to the sun in the open air and remove it from the strap as soon as it dries so that no dust particles settle on it.
• you must wash children’s underwear separately; Because washing their underwear with older clothes may transmit germs.
• Separate delicate clothes from other clothes in the washing machine. Heavy fabrics can entangle and damage fine fibres.
• Avoid washing underwear with fluffy fabrics such as fleece.
• To prevent contaminants and germs from remaining in the washing machine, after several washes, you can turn on the machine once without clothes and add disinfectants such as bleach so that the washing machine is free of germs.
