But all other bras should ideally be washed by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washing bras by hand can be tedious, but since quality bras are not cheap, you want them to last you for a while.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can keep your bras in great condition for a long while. Here is how to hand wash <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/victorias-secret-pink-wear-everywhere-push-up-bra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">your Victoria&#8217;s Secret bra<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/clean-victoriass-secret-bra-01-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/clean-victoriass-secret-bra-01-scaled.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/clean-victoriass-secret-bra-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/clean-victoriass-secret-bra-01-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/clean-victoriass-secret-bra-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/clean-victoriass-secret-bra-01-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fill a clean sink or a small bucket with cold water. Avoid using hot water as the heat can break down the elastics and affect the bra\u2019s fitting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour a capful of mild detergent for lingerie into the water and mix it in with your hands. You do not need to add anything else, such as bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the bra\u2019s fabric.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submerge your bras in this soapy water completely. Allow the bras to soak for around 5 to 10 minutes but you can leave them in for up to half an hour if they are visibly dirty. This step is responsible for major cleaning as it breaks down the oils and dirt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, gently massage the bras to loosen the oils and dirt while they are still submerged. Do not use excessive pressure, sponges, or scrub brushes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take them out of the soapy water and rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove the soap and the remaining oil and dirt. Make sure to wash the bras properly, squeezing out the padded areas gently, to remove the residual detergents. Do not wring the bras as it can damage the shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hang the bras and <a href=\"https:\/\/knix.com\/blogs\/resources\/how-to-dry-bras\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">allow them to air-dry indoors<\/a> or in a shady area outdoors. Keep them away from sunlight as it can fade the colors.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Wash your bras after using them every three to six times by repeating the steps listed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Machine Wash Victoria&#8217;s Secret Bra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Machine washing can put a lot of stress on bras, especially if you wash them on a normal cycle. These cycles are designed to subject the garments to a lot of excessive agitation to remove the stains. Bras, in general, do not need extensive cleaning as they are rarely stained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While washing Victoria&#8217;s Secret bras by hand is ideal, you can wash them in the washing machine on a very gentle cycle, with minimum spin. Since these bras are of incredibly good quality, this makes it possible to machine wash them, unlike other poor-quality bras.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thebetterfit-wash-victoria-secret-bras-01-1200x900.jpg\" alt=\"Victoria's Secret blue lace bra placed on top of a mesh laundry bag and a washer\" class=\"wp-image-30208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thebetterfit-wash-victoria-secret-bras-01-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thebetterfit-wash-victoria-secret-bras-01-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thebetterfit-wash-victoria-secret-bras-01-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thebetterfit-wash-victoria-secret-bras-01-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/thebetterfit-wash-victoria-secret-bras-01-scaled.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Before putting the bras in the washing machine, check for any visible soiling. Pretreat these stains by massaging them with a few drops of a mild detergent and a little water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the stains are broken down, close all the clasps and hooks of the bras. Closing the snaps ensures that the hooks do not snag on other bras. It also keeps the bras from twisting and tangling in the washing machine, which can cause stretching.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/third-love-padded-bras-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">all the padding<\/a>, foam, or gel inserts and hand wash them separately. These inserts can lose their shape in the washing machine.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, place the bras in a lingerie bag. If you wash them with regular clothes, the bra straps can entangle and stretch out. In addition, avoid putting the lingerie bag inside the machine with heavy laundry, like jeans, sweaters, or towels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add a mild detergent to the washing machine and run the washing machine at a delicate cycle or any other cycle that uses room temperature water and little to no spin.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Air dry your bras by laying them flat on a rack or hanging them indoors or in a shaded area outside. You should never put your Victoria&#8217;s<a href=\"https:\/\/staging.thebetterfit.com\/victoria-secret-bombshell-bra-before-after\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Secret bras<\/a> in the dryer, as the excessive heat can destroy the elasticity and cause dimpling in the bra padding.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps in Handwashing a Victoria&#8217;s Secret Bra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Steps<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Action<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Step 1<\/strong><\/td><td>Fill a clean sink or a small bucket with cold water<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Step 2<\/strong><\/td><td>Mix a capful of mild detergent<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Step 3<\/strong><\/td><td>Submerge your bras in the soapy water for at least 30 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Step 4<\/strong><\/td><td>Massage the bras to loosen the oils and dirt<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Step 5<\/strong><\/td><td>Rinse the bras thoroughly under running water<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Step 6<\/strong><\/td><td>Hang the bras and allow them to air-dry<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps in Cleaning a Victoria\u2019s Secret Bra in a Washing Machine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Steps<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Action<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Step 1<\/strong><\/td><td>Pretreat the stains by massaging them with a few drops of mild detergent<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Step 2<\/strong><\/td><td>Close all the clasps and hooks of the bras<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Step 3<\/strong><\/td><td>Remove all the padding, foam, or gel inserts and hand wash them separately<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Step 4<\/strong><\/td><td>Place the bras in a lingerie bag<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Step 5<\/strong><\/td><td>Add a mild detergent and run a delicate cycle<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Step 6<\/strong><\/td><td>Air dry your bras<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Wash a Victoria&#8217;s Secret Bra With Bling?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Victoria&#8217;s Secret bras are available in a variety of attractive styles featuring elaborate designs, using lace, sequins, rhinestones, and beads.
