I've used Woolite, Ivory dish liquid and Johnson and Johson baby shampoo, in cold water, swish & soak for at least 15mins.  All work great!

Woolite was popular in the 60's as I recall. Haven't needed it since. Sorry.

I was told Woolite will damage any spandex/elastic in garments and decrease their life.   I use regular detergent (about 2/3 of my usual load amount) with my delicates and it works just fine.

Nordstrom had a great lingerie lavender wash.  I've used it for years.

Does anyone know why I can't edit, if I misspell a word?

I hand wash bras in tepid water and any shampoo, good way to use up what didn't work for your hair.  Add a drop of hair conditioner to the rinse.  I press out the excess water and hang to dry in my shower.

Dreft.  Often used to wash baby clothes.  It also preserves color better than other detergents for the washer.   There are sometimes coupons in the Sunday paper too.

I just use my regular laundry detergent. I hook the bras, put them in a large lingerie bag & wash them in cold water/cold rinse & use the delicate cycle on my washer. I never put them in the dryer, they are hung on a drying rack to dry.
