In this posting, I'll just briefly summarize the best way to take care of your undies (I guess this advice is more for ladies' bras, panties, and lingerie. Guys are lucky and can really just do anything they want with their undies.) Also because bras are becoming more and more expensive and fancy, sticking them in with all your other clothes will reduce the life of the item. You want to get the most bang (um, no pun intended) out of your buck for your panties, bras, and lingerie.
There are 2 main ways: Either handwash or putting in a "lingerie/mesh" bag.
For handwashing, fill up your tub or sink with lukewarm water and put some mild laundry detergent in as well (you can find "lingerie" detergent online if you want to be that careful.) Rise and rub them gently. When finished washing, squeeze gently to remove excess water, and hang dry on line or drying rack to air dry. Simple, right??
(From what I've read online, it seems that you should wash bras after one or 2 wearings as perspiration, perfumes, and other factors might cause the material to stretch or stain.)
For washing in the machine, put your intimates in a seperate wash from all the other items. Place inside of a "lingerie" or "mesh" bag. Be sure to hook the bras because if left open, they can snag on to your other items. Put on a Delicate cycle, use a mild detergent once again, and use Cold water. Do not dry your lingerie or underwear in the machine beause the heat will affect the material, padded, and elasticity of the item.
That's the basics of it!
Happy Monday to All!
