Manually or in a typewriter: what to choose?

All basic information about the features of washing the product is indicated on the label. If it has a strict ban on the use of a washing machine, you will have to handle the thing with your hands.

In addition, manual cleaning is indicated in the following cases:

  • foto10971-2the tag to the thing is lost, and there is no way to know for sure whether the bra can be washed in the washing machine or not;
  • no special available spherical container or bag for washing linen;
  • if there are stains, it is necessary to wash them with your hands - a standard washing cycle will not cope with complex dirt;
  • the bra is badly worn, the material has become dilapidated;
  • a large amount of decor (stones, rhinestones, etc.);
  • lack of a washing machine;
  • there are damages which, even after elimination, exclude machine wash.

Even if machine wash is permitted by the manufacturer, hand washing is preferable, as this method completely controls the process, allowing you to vary the intensity.

Preparing your bra for washing

The correct approach to washing bras requires regular treatment. Products that are not worn out and have not lost their appearance due to previous washing or irregular drying are washed much better and better.

Before you start washing, you must:

  1. foto10971-4Inspect the product for defects - torn places, torn fasteners, etc. They must be removed before washing.
  2. If there are stains, take them out.
  3. If the model has a detachable push-up, pull it out.
  4. Sort products by color.
  5. Prepare detergent and wash basin.

Washing your bra without proper preparation can damage your garment. General tips for washing bras can be found here.

Instructions

As a guide to action, it is necessary to take the recommendations of the bra manufacturer, which he gives on the label.

If the thing sweats a lot, and there are ugly stains on it, Pre-soaking in such a solution can help:

  • pour 2 liters of water into the basin;
  • dissolve 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 2 tablespoons of salt;
  • stir;
  • put the bra for half an hour;
  • rinse;
  • wash in the usual way.

The general approach to washing includes the following steps:

  1. foto10971-3Pour water into the prepared basin with a temperature of no more than + 40 ° C. Higher temperatures can deform the product, and cold water will make the treatment ineffective.
  2. Pour the detergent into the basin according to the instructions for the specific preparation.
  3. Submerge your bra in water.
  4. If it has sweat stains or other traces of wear, these areas should be lathered with laundry soap.
  5. Soak for a quarter of an hour. A bra without gel or foam padding can be soaked for an hour.
  6. Wash, paying attention to soiled areas and straps. If the water becomes dirty after soaking, it must be drained. After that, draw back water, in which to dilute the detergent.
  7. Rinse the item thoroughly. Preferably under running water.
  8. Let the water drain.
  9. Wringing out excess moisture must be done by placing the bra between two terry towels.

Choosing a detergent

Finding the right detergent for your laundry is very important. The fabrics used for sewing most of the models are delicate fabrics.

The best choice is to use a special product that is designed specifically for washing underwear.

If it is not there, it is possible to use such substitutes:

  • universal gels;
  • ecogels;
  • gels for children's clothing.

foto10971-5Liquid detergent is preferred over powder detergent. It dissolves better, providing good penetration between the fibers of the material.

After washing, such substances are easier to rinse out. Granular powders are less soluble and may remain on the material even after rinsing.

Do not use fabric softener when washing your bra.... Despite the aromatization and softening of things, its use is not desirable. Its effect on straps and other areas with elastic bands impairs their elasticity and provokes rapid wear of parts.

If you don't have a suitable detergent at home and you need to wash it, you can use a hair shampoo.

How does color affect processing?

Bras of different colors require a separate approach to washing. You can wash only items of the same shade or close tones at a time, this is due to the likelihood of shedding of the fabric.

For pure white and black bras, it is advisable to use detergents that are designed specifically for these shades. At the same time, black will preserve the density and saturation of the shade, and the white bra will retain its whiteness.

In addition to products "for black" and "for white" things, if you have colored linen, you will need Color liquid detergent... They can wash not only bras in bright colors, but also with a printed pattern.

If in the product, in addition to white or black, a fabric of a different color is used, then it is necessary to choose universal gels for washing.

Methods and recipes on how to wash a white bra and return it to its original whiteness are presented here.

How to dry?

foto10971-6The retention of its shape largely depends on how correctly the bra was dried. Several drying methods can be used:

  1. Place the bra on a horizontal plane on a terry towel. As it gets wet, replace the lined fabric with a dry one.
  2. Hang at room temperature, evenly distributing the load in the middle of the product.

Hanging by the straps is undesirable when there are cup seals. When drying, it is necessary to ensure that the compacted cups do not deform, otherwise after drying it will be almost impossible for them to return to their original appearance.

Drying bans:

  • do not place the product in the open sun, on heating and heating devices;
  • do not twist the product trying to remove all the water.

Recommendations

Faster and easier to handle washing bras by hand the following recommendations will help:

  1. It is advisable to carry out the very first wash after buying a thing, even before the first wear.
  2. The maximum number of dressings of a bra before washing is 3 times, for whites 1-2 times, for sportswear - 1.
  3. After washing, it is impossible to twist and squeeze the bra strongly, so as not to deform.
  4. Along with the bra in the basin, you can wash T-shirts, tops, panties and other delicate items of a similar color and loose texture.
  5. Prolonged soaking for products with gel, foam rubber cups is undesirable, as they have metal bones.
Careful wearing and proper storage will extend the life of your bra and keep it looking good.

Conclusion

Hand wash is a versatile option for all bras. Even items that are allowed to be washed automatically will last longer if washed only by hand.

In the process of processing, it is necessary to adhere to strict rules, and strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
