Step 1: Fill sink with warm water and soap
Fill your sink with lukewarm water and add a capful of mild detergent.

Step 2: Soak dirty bras and panties
Soak your dirty garments for 5 minutes, making sure they're completely wet. Gently rub spots or stains, being careful to not catch the lace or snag the silk.

Tip
Instead of hand-washing your bras and panties in the sink, you can take them into the shower with you. Use a dab of mild shampoo and squeeze the suds through the material.

Step 3: Dry lingerie
Roll the wet lingerie in a towel to remove excess water. Lay the garments flat until dry.

Tip
Don't use a dryer for your fine bras and panties -- the heat destroys the elastic and the tumbling can ruin underwires.

Step 4: Wash everyday undergarments in washer
Place dirty everyday bras and panties in a garment bag and wash it in your washing machine on the delicate setting. These garments typically aren't as fragile as lace or silk, but should still air dry.
