Sunlight is a natural sanitiser — but too much can damage your cotton bra for women. Here is how to use the sun safely and care for your cotton bras naturally.
Sun Drying Done Right
Morning sun or late afternoon sun is gentle enough for cotton. Avoid harsh midday sun between 11 AM and 3 PM — it yellows white cotton and weakens elastic. Dry flat on a towel in indirect sunlight. Flip the bra after an hour so both sides dry evenly. Never leave cotton bras in direct sun for more than 2 hours.
Natural Detergent Options
Soap nuts (reetha) — boil a few in water and use the liquid for hand washing. Mild baby shampoo — gentle enough for delicate cotton fabric. Baking soda rinse — a teaspoon in cool water removes odour naturally. White vinegar — a few drops in the final rinse acts as a natural fabric softener without coating fibres.
Storage the Natural Way
Keep dried neem leaves in your bra drawer — natural insect repellent. Lavender sachets add a gentle fragrance without synthetic perfumes. Care for your cotton bra pack of 2 naturally at Rs 267.
