How do I wash my bra correctly?

Always use a wash bag and fasten the bra’s hooks at the back before washing, so the hooks don’t snag on anything. If the bra has an underwire or padding, it’s best washed by hand or on the machine’s hand-wash programme. Avoid fabric softener and tumble drying, and air dry it instead.
