[quote=Anonymous]I got this same advice when I purchased some bras at Nordstrom one day. But they elaborated and said "no petroleum" in the detergent. I bought some stuff from Buy Buy Baby. As it was explained to me, the petroleum had a negative effect on the spandex in the bras -- and anything else like bathing suits, etc.). I don't usually follow instruction like but, but for some reason (probably b/c I'd spent a lot of money on the bras) I did and boy did it make a difference. Started doing it with my bathing suits and I could see a huge difference in how they aged, so to speak (or didn't at all!), with the petroleum-free detergent. And I do this now with any other clothing item that may have spandex. Oh, and for bras I also use a lingerie bag. Can't remember the exact stuff and I"m not at home. I think Dreft and Woolite both have petroleum though. Worth reading the labels at Target etc I guess to see if they have something.[/quote]
