Do you toss your bras and undies in the washer with everything else?

Yes, bras and undies can go in the washing machine. Here are the settings to use for everyday pieces and for bras, and what to do if there is a stain.

It's actually alright to toss them in the washer

You just need to do it the right way. Here's how.

But not on a hot wash

30 to 40° is enough to get them clean. Anything hotter wears out the elastic and fades the colour.

Wash them like this

30 to 40° on a gentle cycle. Keep them away from jeans and towels. Put lace, silk and bras in a mesh bag, then air dry.

Bras need a bit more care

Fasten the hooks first. One bra per mesh bag. Cold gentle cycle, low spin, and don't tumble dry.

Got a stain? Use cold water

Blood, sweat and breastmilk stains set with heat, so rinse them in cold water before washing.

Pro-tip

Kerzon Maille Câline is made for silk, lace, wool and delicates. It cleans gently and rinses clean, so lingerie keeps its shape and softness for longer.
