If the thought of handwashing your bras sends you into a panic, you’re not alone. For those of us who dread the idea of delicate care routines, there’s a game-changing solution. Even if you’re someone who already handwashes your lingerie (and probably loathes it), keep reading—this is for you.
Let’s face it: handwashing can feel like a relic from the past. Since the advent of the electric washing machine in 1937, most laundry has been a breeze. Yet, bras remain an exception, and that’s a hassle. Who has time for that? The ideal solution? Well, you could skip washing them altogether—just kidding, that’s definitely not a good idea! Instead, here’s a clever tip from Pure Wow that will leave your bras spotless with minimal effort, using something you might have tucked away in your kitchen: a salad spinner.
Step-by-Step Bra Washing
To start, gather warm water and two tablespoons of baby shampoo in your salad spinner. Fully immerse your bras in this soapy mixture and let them soak for about ten minutes. After soaking, give the spinner a few turns; this mimics the gentle spin cycle of a washing machine, making it perfect for your delicate undergarments.
Next, drain the soapy water and rinse your bras with cold water, continuing to spin until the water runs clear. To remove excess water, gently press the bras with a towel—avoid twisting or wringing them out! Finish by spinning them a few more times before laying them flat on a towel to dry.
That’s all there is to it! You can now keep your bras fresh with no more effort than tossing them in a machine that could ruin them. Pure Wow suggests washing your bras every four to seven wears, although this can vary based on your individual lifestyle and climate. With this simple method, you’re less likely to procrastinate on laundry day.
