Every woman in the morning puts on a bra to feel confident, beautiful and feminine all day. It is like a second skin, and therefore requires special care - to wash a bra with bones you need to delicately. You can do this manually or in a typewriter machine. The main thing is to set the temperature correctly and follow some other rules.

Features of washing underwired bras

Bone models are the most common. They best hold a large chest, collect it and give it a beautiful rounded shape. To correct the female bust, the bra is often sewn with inserts made of foam rubber or silicone. Beautiful underwear is made of lace, complemented with all kinds of laces, ribbons, metal jewelry, zippers. All this makes washing the bra very difficult. To make the product clean and at the same time retain its excellent appearance, a delicate approach is needed.

To understand whether it is possible to wash the bra in an automatic machine, you need to look at the symbols on the label or tag. The manufacturer always indicates how to properly care for the thing. The ban on machine wash symbolizes a basin with a hand. In this case, only hand wash is possible.

There are 7 rules for washing underwired bras:

1. No soaking! Firstly, many bras contain metal parts that can rust. Secondly, delicate fabrics with prolonged exposure to water lose their strength and are easily deformed.
2. Water is only slightly warm. It is necessary to wash a bra with bones at a temperature of 30-40 degrees, not higher.
3. You can send only simple products to the washing machine without complex decor elements (everyday linen). Beautiful bras with ruffles, rhinestones, etc. are washed by hands.
4. Inspecting the bra for damage. It is important to make sure that the bones are firmly sewn before washing and that there are no holes or signs of wear on the fabric.
5. Use washing gel or shampoo. The powder spoils satin, silk and mesh fabrics, they become "oak", lose their shape.
6. No strong friction, kinking, spinning. To wash a bra with bones with neat stroking movements. You can use a soft brush. For washing in the washing machine you need to use a special bag with holes or a sphere. Any spin is prohibited, you can only dab the product with a towel or any well-absorbing cloth.
7. Drying in the fresh air and at natural temperature. Brassieres need to be dried on a rope on the balcony, without the use of clothespins. Do not twist the product, otherwise there will be creases. Also prohibited is ironing and drying on a battery, a hairdryer, near heating appliances.

A common problem with underwired bras is tissue damage on the inside. With improper washing, the bone makes a hole and begins to scratch the delicate skin, stab the chest. In a typewriter, it can completely come out and even lead to a breakdown of equipment.

How to wash your hands?

To quickly and efficiently wash an expensive set of underwear or a beautiful bra with underwire, use the simple instructions.

1. Before washing, make sure that the fabric on the inside and outside has no snags, holes or other damage. Repair if necessary.
2. Pour about 2-3 liters of warm water into a small basin, dilute the washing gel in it according to the instructions (or 3 tablespoons of shampoo).
3. Place the bra in soapy water and leave to soak for 5 minutes.
4. Then rub your dirt with your fingers or a soft brush.
5. Rinse the bra in warm water 2-3 times.
6. Place it between two terry towels and slightly press down, without twisting.
7. Set to dry on the balcony, hanging in a straightened form on the shoulders for underwear or a rope.

If you notice that the bone has broken through the tissue, you should properly repair it. On the sharp end of the bone you need to wear a protective rubber or form a head made of silicone glue. Further, the hole is sewn strictly along the breakthrough, with small and frequent stitches. If the bone does not fit, it can be shortened with wire cutters. It is better to replace a bent bone with a new one (sold in stores "all for sewing").

Washing machine

Machine washable by most modern housewives. It allows you to significantly save valuable time. But in order to get brassieres with bones out of the machine not only clean, but also intact, it is advisable to get a special appliance - a bag for delicate washing (optimally - in the form of a box) or a special sphere. The latter allows you to conveniently and reliably place the bra between the plastic clips so that it does not twist and does not come into contact with other things during the washing process. But be careful: many women complain that the device opens in the typewriter, so it is better to choose a sphere model with tight latches.

Now let's move on to the step-by-step instructions:

1. Inspect the bra for damage - if there is one, repair it first.
2. Fasten the product on hooks, straighten the straps. If there is a bag for delicate washing or a sphere, put a bra on it.
3. Pour the washing gel in a standard dosage.
4. Set the program “Hand wash” or “Delicate wash”. As an alternative, you can select a temperature of 40 degrees and remove the spin.
5. Blot the wet bra with a towel and hang to dry in a well-ventilated area.

Do not use conditioners or softeners to wash bras. They shorten their life, as they reduce the elasticity of the fibers (hence the bursting gum, stretched fabric).

In conclusion, we note: it is better even at the time of purchase to pay attention to how to properly care for the product and whether it can be machine washed. Then the bra will delight its mistress for a long time and last for a year, if not just one!
