I have a Ipex bra from Victorias Secret it says you have to handwash it..?

Question

How exactly do you hand wash a bra? Could you put it in the washing machine on the gentle cycle?

Answer 1

No don't put it in the washer, put laundry soap in a sink at home with warm or cold(whatever it says). Then wash it like you were washing your hands, and let it hang dry. I own just about every bra from Victorias Secret and thats how I wash them.

Answer 2

GOOD GOD NO!!! all underwear and bras should be hand washed no matter what the label says i know it sounds stupid but they last longer whne done so if you put the ipex in the wash it will most likely fall part or somthing
just use warm water and some clothes soap and wash it like you would a wash cloth and rinse completely then let it air dry in aplace hung up somewhere and it should be fine if your unsure of something then ask your mom that how i learned to hand wash things like sweaters

Answer 3

I have the same bra. I wash it in the washer machine and then hang dry it. I've had no problems with doing that. I'm sure that it will last longer though if you hand wash it.

Answer 4

you can do the gentle cycle but you'll want to take it out befor it spins or you'll risk damaging the wires or fibers. If you do handwash it just use lukewarm sudsy water seish it around, squeeze it a bit and rinse it in clean water and do the same. lay it on a towel to dry. Don't stretch it while it's wet.

Answer 5

If it says "hand wash" then that's what I would do. Put some water in the sink, add Woolite. Swish it around a bit and let it soak for a bit. Rinse the soap out and then squeeze the water out. Don't wring it out.

Answer 6

No..it's better to handwash...even on a gentle cycle the clasps could get stuck somewhere and the material could snag

Answer 7

yup that'll work or u could just put it in with all your other bras because im sure it won't mess up from that? gentle cycle unless u sweat lots and its really funky then just take your chances with a normal cycle

Answer 8

if you put it in the washer on gentle cycle then make sure you put it in a lingerie bag or pillow case that is tied closed. when the bra is thrashed around in the washer it looses it's shape and ruins the elastic

Answer 9

i have a mopping bucket that i purchased
at wal mart and i put warm water with
a mild detergent and a very very small
ammount of softener in the mixture
let them soak for about ten minutes,
and then gently scrub them with my
hands (i do it while watching tv)
rinse them in the sink and i always
ALWAYS hang them to dry.
hope that helps.
and the ipex bra is amazing.
i love it

Answer 10

I let them soak in a sink of cold water and wool-lite, and then rinse really good in cold water and lay out flat to dry. Sometimes I need to reshape it so it doesn't dry all funky shaped and then fit badly.
