Tricks to take care of your underwear

1. Wash your underwear by hand

The first trick to keep your underwear in good condition is to do without the washing machine and wash it by hand. For this, it is recommended to use a neutral soap (without aroma) or a special one for delicate garments. In this sense, it is very important to remember that we should not overuse the use of soap, this can cause skin discomfort.

It’s not just about washing with the correct soap, you also have to use water at the right temperature. Ideally, it should be between 20ºC and 30ºC, that way the pieces will not deform.

Likewise, it is necessary to soak the underwear for approximately 20-30 minutes, before proceeding to rinse and rub. In case you decide to use the washing machine, use special cloth bags to protect your clothes.

2. Learn to remove stains from your underwear

Now, when it comes to stains, you have to proceed with delicacy. Many times we despair and tend to scrub hard without the stain disappearing. For this type of inconvenience, it is best to apply the following tricks:

• If the stain is blood or another type of body fluid, put the garment in a bucket and pour a little shampoo right on the stain. Add a little cold water and let it sit for 20-25 minutes before rinsing with plenty of water. Once the stain is gone, you can wash your underwear normally.
• If the garment is completely white, to remove the stain it is best to add a tablespoon of lemon juice or baking soda.
• If it tends to discolor easily or is too rough and puffy, always wash it separately. Also add coarse salt to the water while it is soaking.
• If the garment is made of silk, it is best to always wash it with a splash of hair conditioner.

3. Dry your clothes properly

Unless your underwear is completely white and you intend to bleach it, you should not dry your underwear in the sun. This causes it to tend to discolor easily. So the most advisable thing is to hang it in a place where the air circulates and the sun does not affect directly.

On the other hand, correct drying of underwear implies always avoiding the dryer. Why?

It is because the fibers with which most underwear are made, deteriorate (lose elasticity) at high temperatures. So, say goodbye once to this machine for this purpose. Also, do not place it on the radiator to dry as it has the same effect.

If you are hanging up your underwear to dry, be sure to drain it well and use tweezers that are not too strong. These elements tend to leave marks and warp the ends of the garments. In fact, it is best to hang them without clips, on an indoor clothesline.

4. Store your underwear well

When storing bras, it is important to know how to position them so that they do not lose their shape. If we have enough space, it is best to stack them one on top of the other, without folding them. If we have little space, we can place one glass on top of the other, so that the rings form a circle.

As for the panties, they do not have to be squeezed like socks, with a simple fold they can be stored without taking up much space.

As you may have seen, you can keep your underwear in good condition with just a few tricks. They won’t take up a lot of time and they don’t take a lot of effort. Dare to put them into practice now to give your clothes a longer life!

How to wash our bra?

One of the techniques to keep your bras in perfect condition is to wash it by hand. To do this you must:

• Fill a bowl with water, add a little mild detergent and mix well.
• Tuck in two or three bras at a time and let them soak for a few minutes.
• After time, take the bras, rub them and soak them in the water.
• Rub the stains that the bra may have with your hands until they are completely removed. Make sure to check that the area around the temples, the braces, and near the armpits are clean, as these are the areas where dirt accumulates the most.
• Empty the container and fill it with clean water. Dip the bras and when the water runs completely clean and soap-free, you’re ready to dry.

In a washing machine

This technique shortens the life of the underwear, so it is not highly recommended. Even if you don’t have time to do it by hand, we’ll explain how to machine wash it:

• Take a special bag for underwear washing. Do not put more than two.
• Then add the detergent to the machine as usual and enough fabric softener to prevent the bra fabric from becoming stretchy and not damaged.
• Use the delicate wash option and when finished your bras will be ready to dry.

Drying the bra

The best recommendation is to put them to dry in the open air and avoid hanging them by the straps. You must put them by the back clasp or by the piece that joins both cups.
