What you need: A neutral cotton pillowcase and a rubber band

What you do: Clasp the hooks of your bra together and place it in the pillowcase. Gather the open end and secure it with the rubber band--making sure you give the bras enough room to move around. Put it in your washing machine, using regular laundry detergent, and set it to the delicate cycle with cold water.

How it works: The pillowcase acts as a makeshift delicates bag, allowing the bra to get clean without being busted up by the spinning metal of your machine.

And finally: Always let your bras air-dry. You didn't make that DIY laundry bag for nothing.
