The Better Way To Wash Your Bras

So you can say there has been a lot of bra talk around my office lately. How to put them on and how often you should wash them have been the main points of focus. When I found out I was supposed to be washing them every couple wears I laughed at the impracticality of that. The washing machines in my apartment building don’t have many settings that make it easy to care for delicate clothes, so hand washing is the only way to go for me. And that takes so. damn. long. But I found a solution that doesn’t require me to buy any special laundry bags or devices.

All you need is a large pillowcase and a hair tie! Put your bras in the pillowcasemaking sure there is plenty of room so they will get cleaned properly in the washing machine. Then tie the tippy top of the pillowcase with a hair tie. Place it in a mostly empty washing machine on the most delicate setting and you’re good to go. And you can air dry them or keep them in the pillowcase and put them in the dryer. See? Easy!
