3 mistakes you (maybe) make when washing your bra

Since you've been doing laundry, cleaning rules have no secrets for you. You are a real crack in terms of washing jeans (preferably by hand and in cold water), cashmere sweaters (which we avoid throwing in the washing machine) and color separation (white does not is precisely not a color).

But what about your bra? Yes, just like your panties and your socks, this underwear requires regular cleaning. But unlike the first two pieces mentioned, its composition (lace, iron frame) makes cleaning it a little more delicate.

Here are three of the most common mistakes to avoid when getting ready to clean your bra.

1- Washing your bra without protecting it

Even if you save time by carelessly throwing your bras into the washing machine next to your smelly socks and used panties, don't don't forget that your bra deserves a little more love.

“Wash them in a lingerie bag provided for this purpose,” advises lingerie tester Fréderika Zappe to the American site Self.

2- Put it in the dryer

Even if your bra seems resistant to you, never, oh never put it in the dryer. Indeed, it could downright distort it. Given the price and the difficulty of finding one perfectly adapted to its size, the prospect of hanging it on a tancarville or on a doorknob to dry it suddenly seems much less boring to you.

3- Clean it too often

Daily, weekly or monthly? It's not easy to determine the right frequency for cleaning a bra. Again, it all depends on the material of your bra. But generally speaking, nothing pushes you to wash it too often.

So if you're the type who considers it dirty when you've only worn it once, you can easily lower your requirements. Because by dint of washing it, the fabrics relax and your bra no longer supports much.
