4 Bra Washing Mistakes We All Make

Sensitive skin-friendly, dye-free detergents are great for most of your clothes, sheets and towels. But they're still too harsh for lingerie, says Harrington, which is made of sheerer, thinner material. Your best bet is a delicates (not wool) detergent; she alternately recommends baby shampoo or Castile soap. Add about a teaspoon amount to your bathroom sink, fill with cool water and add two or three bras (in the same color family, so the colors don't bleed). Gently move them around, let them soak for 15 or so minutes and then rinse them with cold water.
