How to wash a white bra?

Every woman has her own weaknesses. Someone is crazy about the sweet aromas of luxurious perfumes, someone is fascinated by the brilliance of diamonds on jewelry, but there is not one that does not know the price of beautiful underwear. And let the legs be covered with inexpensive jeans from the market, and the torso is a light cotton shirt, linen must be chosen with taste.

But even the most sophisticated bra can lose its bewitching appearance when improperly worn and washed. Therefore, it requires a special relationship to itself. But one should not be upset, because the simple rules for handling your favorite piece of clothing will allow him to serve for a sufficiently long period.

Here are some basic rules:

• You cannot wear the same bra every day, even if it is highly comfortable. Otherwise, he will soon lose elasticity and attractiveness. You need to wear it at least every other day, so that the product has time to restore shape and get rid of body odor.
• Laundry is carried out no less than every 3-4 donning. Otherwise, it will then be difficult to return to its original form. In summer, you can rinse more often.
• After 3-4 wearing it is necessary to wash it immediately, without storing it for a long time in the laundry basket. The longer it lies there, the more difficult it is to return freshness to the tissue later.
• The bras are stored in a box separate from other linen. You need to lay them straightened, one on top of the other so that the cups of one bra lay on top of the cups of the other. White to white, black to black.
• Snow-white linen is contained separately, without touching color. To do this, it is better to put it in a separate pile or pack it.
• The dark product is worn under dark clothes, and light - under light. This will prevent fiber overlay. If you still want to wear a white bra and your favorite black sweater, it is advisable to have a white T-shirt between them.

Washing clothes is a mandatory procedure, not only after prolonged wearing, but also immediately after purchase. This is due to the fact that even the most expensive bra from a prestigious boutique, as a rule, has been tried on at least once by someone. Based on this, it would be advisable to wash such a purchase, least, for personal hygiene. Another reason is the presence of new chemical dyes on new things that can cause irritation and an allergic reaction when in contact with skin, especially in intimate places. Therefore, it is desirable to get rid of such compounds as soon as possible.

Hand wash preserves the original appearance of the laundry, therefore it is recommended for caring for bras, especially from sensitive fabrics, with the inclusion of elements such as bones, push-up (foam or gel) or lace.

To do this, you need to understand a simple list of sequential actions:

1. It is necessary to fill a large vessel or bathroom with warm water and dissolve in it a mild detergent: gel or liquid. Better, of course, liquid because of its high penetrating effect, and it will be easier to rinse it out. You can mix a few drops of aromatic essential oils. The detergent can be baby powder, special solutions for washing underwear or inexpensive shampoo.
2. Before washing, the products are soaked for 20 minutes. Stains can be rubbed with a washcloth or a soft brush. Fabric with an unpleasant odor is soaked for up to an hour. The smell of sweat is eliminated by adding an aqueous solution of soda with salt (1 tablespoon each per liter of water). Cleaning bras of different colors together is not recommended. It is necessary to observe the color difference. Bright with bright, dark with dark. With daily washing, you can use the detergent sparingly - a couple of drops at a time.
3. When the period of soaking has expired - it is time to proceed directly to the cleaning process. Soft, crushing movements should allow foam to pass through the fibers. Straps lend themselves to more thorough washing - a place of increased sticking of plaque. You can even lightly move them with a sponge. At the end of the process, rinse under running water. It is done until the cleaning agent is completely removed and until the water draining from the bra stops containing impurities.

Never squeeze the product to remove moisture. For this purpose, the linen is wrapped in a dry towel, where it dries. You can finish it by hanging it on a rope in the center of the bra. You can’t hang on the straps. You can also hang hangers on a hook.

The method is less time-consuming than the previous one, but is not suitable for all types of linen. It is undesirable to put bras with push up on a gel basis, lace and from delicate materials in the machine. For others, contact with the drum will do little harm. But here you need to take into account some of the nuances.

For washing a bra with underwire You must use a special bag in which the product is placed. The bag is made of a special mesh material and fastens with a zipper. There is also a so-called “sphere”, inside of which the bra is placed before washing. The ideal option is to wash your bras in a separate batch. And let the drum be half empty, the laundry will not give in to the mechanical impact of other things.

Before stacking in a typewriter, bras are sorted by color and density. Do not put rough or metallic items in the drum to underwear. Before using the machine, it is advisable to soak the fabric in the same way as before hand washing. If necessary, a bag or sphere is used, the latches and fasteners of which are tightly closed. If there are no such special devices, you can put them underneath in the old pillowcase, which is better to sew up so that when the drum rotates, the bras do not fall out of it.

On the panel of the machine, the delicate washing mode is selected. Other modes include washing in hotter water, which stretches the elastic elements, and also shrinks the fabric. The drying process is the same as after a hand wash. Machine drying is undesirable.

Underwear needs special care. Most manufacturers initially supply their products with tags on which the washing and storage method is indicated by international designations. Therefore, if there is any doubt about the application of a particular washing method - drawings on the tag will suggest the correct option.

Only with proper handling will the products retain their presentation. A number of features for tissue care:

• The use of bleaches, in particular those containing calcium hypochloride, is inadmissible. If you suspect that your favorite bra has lost its former whiteness - it is better to add hydrogen peroxide or ammonia (2 tablespoons per 1 liter of water). But before washing, it is important not to forget to rinse the fabric, so as not to spoil other things. Cotton is aged in a mixture of vinegar and water (1 tablespoon per 1 liter), then rinsed with soap. Hold the silk for 20 minutes in a soapy solution, and then stretch with minimal effort. The same thing with chiffon.
• The use of alcohol-containing substances is not permitted.
• Air conditioning and emollients are excluded. From them, the elasticity of the straps decreases.
• A thorough check yields the reliability of fixing hooks and bones in a bra. If the seam opens and the metal bone leaves the cup, then it can damage the mechanisms of the machine and deform the drum, and not a hooked hook will cling to surrounding things, scratching them.
• Do not turn out cups during drying. This provokes the appearance of folds and kinks, which noticeably distort the shape of the chest.
• Underwear with metal bones cannot be soaked for a long time to avoid the appearance of corrosive stains on the fabric. And bright colors fade during long acidification in water.
• Silicone cups are gently washed with soap, washed with water and dried under a light cloth to prevent dust from sticking.

Viscose is less whimsical to caustic substances, because chlorine bleaches will not harm it. But to iron such a fabric with a hot iron is not worth it. Polyester fiber does not tolerate high temperatures, because of this, the temperature of the washing water should not exceed 30 degrees. Acetate material, like other types of expensive materials, is vulnerable to chlorine. It can be washed manually in water heated to below 40 degrees, just like acrylic. Polyamide fabrics withstand heat up to 60 degrees, without changing their properties. Drying the elastic near the heaters will result in wrinkles and cracks.

To wash the white bra from yellow spots with your hands or in the washing machine at home is quite possible. High-quality underwear gives its owner self-confidence. Therefore, to the choice of the latter you need to approach very seriously, and not justify yourself that few people see him. Indeed, when choosing a purchase in a store or on the market, you should remember that the type of linen can be liked and cheer up not only to its owner.
