Hand washing a wonderbra?

Question

This bra doesn't have laundering instructions! I assume it must be hand washed. Any suggestions on detergent? Wash before wearing? If you can't wring it out do you just hang it dripping wet? Help!! Thanks!

Answer 1

I know this sounds a bit weird, but I swear it works. Whenever I need to clean a bra, I wear it in the shower. Gentle soap or shampoo is totally sufficient. After washing and rinsing it while wearing it, I just hang it up to dry.

Answer 2

I would hand wash in mild detergent or your regular detergent, but diluted. I wouldn't wring it out that could damage the padding and ruin the under wires. Put in between 2 towels on the kitchen table and blot till most of the water is out of the bra. I hang my bras on the door knobs to dry overnite because i have been told that he heat from the dryer is bad for the elastic in bras. They last longer this way.

Well, this isn't my "forte", but I do remeber being with my girlfriend on a recent shopping spree at a local boutique. She was told by the saleslady to just wear her bra in the shower and wash and rinse it while in there! Made sense to me. I think she just lets it drip dry in there when she is finished.

No kidding!!

Answer 4

you must always wash anything like a delicate bra or panties when you buy them and they can be washed in a delicate cycle with a mild detergent there are many on the marked always hang to dry never put them in the dryer it spoils the elastic bits

Answer 5

You should ALWAYS wash clothing (or at least run it in the dryer) before you wear it. You don't know who tried it on before you. I wash mine in the washer in cold water but always line dry them. That way they don't get all mis-shapen.

Answer 6

You could hand wash it, pat it w/ a thick towel folded into layers, then hang to dry.
