Quick answer
Use a mesh lingerie washing bag to protect your bras and delicates in the machine. Zip your items inside, choose a gentle cycle with cold water, and air dry to extend their life.
Why use a washing bag for lingerie?
A lingerie washing bag prevents delicate fabrics from snagging, stretching, or tangling with other items during the wash cycle. The soft mesh allows water and detergent to flow through while keeping your bras and underwear contained and safe.
Using a wash bag is faster than hand washing and more reliable than tossing delicates loose in the machine. It is especially useful for underwire bras, lace pieces, and items with hooks or straps that can catch on other clothing.
Step-by-step guide to using your lingerie washing bag
- Step 1: Fasten hooks and turn items inside out: Hook bra clasps and turn lace or delicate items inside out to minimize abrasion. This prevents hooks from catching on the mesh or other garments. Common mistake: Leaving hooks open can tear the mesh or damage other items.
- Step 2: Place items in the bag and zip closed: Fill the bag about halfway to allow water and detergent to circulate. Zip the bag fully to prevent items from escaping. Overstuffing reduces cleaning effectiveness and can strain the zipper.
- Step 3: Choose a gentle cycle with cold water: Select a delicate or hand-wash cycle on your machine. Use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Hot water and harsh detergents can damage elastic and lace fibers.
- Step 4: Air dry only: Remove items from the bag immediately after the cycle ends. Reshape bras and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Never put lingerie in the dryer – heat ruins elasticity and can shrink delicate fabrics.
