How to Wash the Starlift Bra
Hand-washing is the safest approach for bras with delicate trims. Follow these steps to protect the fabric and structure.
- Prepare lukewarm water and a mild detergent: Fill a sink or basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of gentle lingerie detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, which can break down stretch fibers and dull the satin sheen.
- Submerge and gently swish: Place the bra in the water and gently move it around. Do not rub, twist, or wring the lace or tassels. Let it soak for a few minutes if needed.
- Rinse with cool water: Drain the soapy water and refill with cool, clean water. Swish the bra until no detergent remains. Press the water out gently with your hands — avoid twisting.
Drying Without Damage
Machine drying can distort the cups, loosen lace, and damage tassels. Air-drying is the only method that keeps the bra’s shape intact.
- Press out excess water: Lay the bra on a clean, dry towel and roll it up to absorb moisture. Do not wring or squeeze the cups.
- Reshape and lay flat to dry: Unroll the towel and gently reshape the cups and straps. Place the bra on a drying rack or another dry towel, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Avoid hanging by the straps: Hanging a full-figure bra by its straps can stretch them out over time. Always lay it flat.
Storing the Starlift Bra for Longevity
Proper storage prevents creases, snags, and loss of shape. Keep the bra in a drawer or on a shelf where it won’t be crushed by heavier items. If you have the original box or a fabric pouch, that works well. Avoid folding the cups inward; instead, nest them gently or lay the bra flat with cups facing up. The tassel trim is especially prone to tangling, so store the bra away from items with hooks or zippers.
What the Supplied Information Does Not Cover
The catalog does not specify a recommended washing frequency, water temperature limits, or whether the bra is machine-washable in a lingerie bag. If you choose to machine-wash, use a mesh bag on a delicate cycle and cold water, but be aware that the tassels and lace may still be at risk. For the longest life, hand-washing remains the most reliable method.
