How to wash a bra in a bag in a washing machine

Washing bras requires a certain approach. This item of women's wardrobe is sewn from special fabrics, so you just can’t put it in the machine, you need a special bag. About what these bags are, how to use them correctly, and how to wash laundry in a typewriter, let's discuss this article.

Overview of Bra Laundry Bags

The laundry experiences a load during washing, which leads to fiber depletion and a short product life. As for the bra, it has a shape that can be deformed during the spin process. That is why a laundry bag is a must. In addition, it will protect the washing machine from metal bones, which may fall out of the bra cups during washing, as well as from torn hooks and other small parts.

Note! Even sports bras in which there are no pits and solid cups are recommended to be washed in special bags. This will preserve their appearance for a long time.

All bags designed for washing bras differ in the material of manufacture, method of closing, shape. Most often, bags are made of nylon. They are inexpensive and meet the following requirements:

• withstand the temperature of the water during washing;
• suitable for frequent use;

There are two types of nylon bags. The first ones are not shaped and fasten with a zipper or tied with a lace. The second, on the contrary, is in the form of a small container with a lid that closes with a zipper. Such a bag has stiffeners, and therefore does not crumple during the washing process. In addition to nylon bags, plastic washing spheres are also on sale, they are also called containers.

Instruction for use

Using such laundry containers is very simple. Before putting the bra in the bag, you need to fasten it, and fold the cups into each other. Closing the bag with a zipper, fix the dog well so that the bag does not open when washing.

Also do not forget the following:

• if the bag is large, then do not put a lot of bras in it, the bag should be filled no more than 2/3, it is best to wash the bras one at a time;
• before washing, check the bag for integrity;
• after washing, you need to carefully dry the bag and store it in a buttoned form;
• you can not put powder in a bag, the bra is poorly rinsed.

If you liked the container for a bra more, then the product is laid in it as follows. First, the straps come unfastened and put into a smaller ball. Then the bra cups fit in half the ball, and a small ball is placed between them. This allows the product to maintain its shape during washing.

How to wash

Manufacturers of underwear and many housewives recommend washing expensive underwear on their hands. But if you want to spend time on it and choose a machine wash, then do it right. The bra in the bag must be put in the drum. It can only be washed with things of the same color and similar in fabric. This means that washing underwear, for example, with woolen products is not allowed.

For washing bras, it is correct to use liquid gels or capsules, as they dissolve better in water and rinse out of the fabric. The product is poured into the powder compartment.

Important! If you wore a bra for more than three days, then before washing it, you need to soak it for half an hour in slightly warm water with the addition of a few drops of shampoo. So he is better off in the car.

Next, select the delicate washing mode, at a temperature of no more than 40⁰C. But it’s better to read before washing information on the labelto verify at what temperature the product should be washed. As for the spin, you can not turn it off if you wash the product in a bag. But the drying function cannot be used. After washing, be sure to straighten the bra. To properly dry it, you need to hang the middle between the cups. Hanging by the strap leads to its rapid extension.

Be careful when washing white bras in a car. Lacy underwear and underwear made of synthetic fabrics “do not like” too high a temperature and poor-quality powders. After such a wash, bras can turn gray or blue. Therefore, we recommend washing white products by hand, at least every three days. As for bleaching, only chlorine-free bleaches can be used.

To summarize, we note that modern washing accessories allow you to wash in the car even such a delicate thing as a bra. It is enough to choose a good bag or container for washing, especially since it costs a lot. But the washing result will please you, and the product will extend its life.
