A great trick to wash your bra
Be honest, when was the last time you washed your bras? Let's assume that the answer is between "never" and "I do not remember". We know that they are difficult to wash and care for, so we discovered an intelligent and loose way to clean them with a lettuce washer.

What I need?
A baby shampoo or mild detergent, a towel and a lettuce washer.What I do?
Fill the water lettuce washer and add two teaspoons of baby shampoo. Dip your bra in the water and gently rub the cups so they are saturated with water.Leave the bra resting in the water for about ten minutes and start spinning. Take several turns and then boil the water with soap. Do you see all that gray? That's all the dirt that your underwear had. Wash the bowl, fill it with water, put the bra back in and rinse to rinse.
Continue rinsing until the water comes out clean to make sure all the detergent and grime come out. Finally, throw the water and put the bra back to give a final spin to remove excess water.
Cool. What about the drying?
Squeeze gently and press with a towel to remove the water. Never squeeze or twist the cups.
Always hang your underwear and let it dry outdoors or on a dry towel.
What if my bra still looks old and sad?
If your white or beige underwear still looks yellowish, add this step before performing the previous routine. Fill the washer with cold water and add two teaspoons of white distilled vinegar. Dip your bra for 20 minutes and start spinning it. Continue with the rest of the process, but be sure to rinse the vinegar thoroughly.
What happens if my strips look gray and worn?
Mix a few teaspoons of baking soda with water to create a paste. Gently massage into the strips and rinse with cold water. You can also use this paste before washing, as a treatment to erase sweat stains and deodorant.
If your bra has pellets on the cotton, simply scrape them with a disposable razor.
How often should I do this?
Although there is no rule, consider washing your bra every 4 or 7 uses. Try not to use the same bra for more than two days in a row, to "rest" and not lose its shape and elasticity.
A note on padded bras: Generally, you should wash them less often. The filling retains the detergent and creates accumulation, in addition, the material tends to get lumpy and break when washed too often.
