Avoid wearing your bra more than twice between washings. The elastic in even the finest bras needs to “recover” after a day of wear
Have a minimum of three basic bras. One to wear, one to wash and another ready to alternate
WASH
Hand wash your lingerie in a delicate detergent specially formulated for bras and fine lingerie. Normal detergents and bleaches or even delicate soaps can destroy elastic and lace
Always air dry as heat can destroy elastic.
Do not wring out or twist garments to remove excess water
If you must machine wash, always fasten the hook at the back of the bra to avoid possible snagging and place the garment in a lingerie wash bag with like colours
Remember, machine washing and drying risk destroying fibers and elasticity
Rinsing garments in cool water for a few minutes will help restore its stretch
STORING
Soft bra can be folded gently and stored in a lined drawer to prevent misshaping or snagging from uneven surfaces
Stack or hang moulded bras to avoid creasing or misshaping the cups
TRAVELING
Use a lingerie travel bag to keep lingerie together and help avoid crushing between other items in the suitcase
Bring a small container of your gentle lingerie detergent for washing on the go
