Care and Cleaning of Nursing Bras
Hand Washing:
Hand wash nursing bras in cold water using a gentle detergent specifically designed for delicates.
Gently agitate the bras in the water and allow them to soak for a few minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with cold water until all soap residue is removed.
Machine Washing:
If machine washing is preferred, use a lingerie bag to protect the bras.
Wash nursing bras on a delicate or gentle cycle with cold water.
Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the fabric and affect the elasticity of the bra.
Drying:
Air dry nursing bras by laying them flat on a towel or drying rack.
Avoid using a dryer as the heat can damage the fabric and elastic components of the bra.
Storage:
Store nursing bras in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid folding bras with molded cups to maintain their shape.
Consider storing bras with cup inserts to help retain their shape.
Frequency of Washing:
Wash nursing bras after each wear to remove any milk residue or bacteria that may accumulate.
Rotate between several bras to allow them to air out between wears and prolong their lifespan.
