If you’re anything like me, you might have thought, “Wait, I’m supposed to wash my bras by hand?” If that’s the case, this article is tailored for you. And if you’re one of those diligent individuals who already handwashes their bras and finds it utterly tedious, this piece is also for you. In fact, if you ever wear bras, you definitely need to read on.
Handwashing can be a major hassle—something that most people haven’t had to deal with since the invention of electric washing machines back in 1937. However, bras are often the exception to the laundry rule, which can be quite frustrating. Who really has the time or patience to handwash them? The easy solution? Just don’t wash them.
Just kidding; that’s terrible advice. Instead, let’s explore an ingenious method from Pure Wow that allows you to get your bras sparkling clean with minimal effort. The secret ingredient is a salad spinner you probably haven’t used for salad in ages.
Step-by-Step Bra Washing Method
To get started, fill your salad spinner with warm water and add two tablespoons of baby shampoo. Submerge your bras in the mixture until they’re thoroughly soaked. Allow them to soak for about ten minutes, then give them a few spins. This process mimics the spin cycle of a washing machine, yet is gentle enough for all your undergarments.
After spinning, drain the soiled water, refill with cold water, and keep spinning and rinsing until the water runs clear and all soap is removed. Gently press the bras with a towel to absorb some excess water—remember, no twisting or wringing! Spin them again in the salad spinner to remove as much moisture as possible, then lay them flat on a towel to air dry.
And that’s it! You now have clean bras without the hassle of machine washing, which could potentially ruin them. It’s recommended to wash your bras every four to seven wears, but this varies based on your lifestyle and environment. With this straightforward technique, you’ll find yourself washing them more frequently than before.
