Wash them in cold water with a hand washing detergent. Rub the fabric gently together a few times until you have worked on each part of the bra. Rinse really well with cold water. Lay out a towel and place your bra(s) across it. Start from the bottom of the towel and roll up up into a snake. Squeeze the extra water into the towel. Unroll the towel and then hang each bra up, either on a hanger or lay flat on a drying net.
Simple, really.

All bras should be hand washed, especially underwire bras. If the underwire comes out, not only will the bra be ruined, but the wire could also cause severe damage to your washing machine.
A mild detergent and lukewarm water are the safest way to wash a bra. Certain fabrics in the bra could melt in extremely hot water. And superstrong detergents can cause stretching in some materials.
Never put your bra in the dryer. The bra can get twisted and lose its shape. Plus, some materials may shrink in the dryer. Line drying is the best way to dry a bra.
Keep like colors together in washing (i.e., separate lights and darks).
Washing your bra after each use helps to reduce discoloring.

Of course everyone says handwashing is best, but for those of us who don't have the time or want to put forth the effort, I've always used the mesh lingerie bags that you can get at any WalMart, Target, etc. I don't even use the gentle cycle - just throw the bags in with regular laundry, and then hang them to dry on a drying rack. Of course if they're something really delicate (like lace), you might want to take more care.

I either hand wash them in cold water with Woolite or use mild soap and put them in a lingerie bag and then wash them on the gentle cycle. I hang my to dry on plastic hangers by just looping them over. If I want to speed up the drying process I will put them in front of a fan.

Hand washing them is the best in warm water with mild soap... you can either hang them up over a hanger to dry or lay them flat to dry... also you could throw them in the dryer on tumble or delicate.

If you have underwire bras buy a bra baby... It looks like a plastic ball you slip your bras into and you can wash them on the gently cycle warm water with Woolite... When I lived in an apt. I would hang them from the shower rod.. Just hook clasps around rod...let hang... Or put them on a platic hanger and hang the hanger from the shower rod....

If you don't know how to hang something up to dry, it sounds like you might have trouble washing something by hand.
