So I wore my two new beige bras a few times and now they are black on the upper edges of the cups and straps. I don’t know where the black is coming from, sweat? Transfer from a black shell? Anyways, I tried to scrub but it’s not coming out. Any advice on how to clean? They’re brand new but looking yucky from the black spots.

Run the bra under water until it's saturated. Put just a bit of Dawn dish soap on the palms of you hands and spread and rub the soap into the stains. Let sit overnight in a clean sink, tub or basin. Brush out stains with a soft cleaning toothbrush. If stains are still there afterwards, rinse out and repeat the Dawn pretreatment process again.
Rinse soap out completely (suds hurt HE washing machines). Then wash the bra in a netbag on the hand wash cycle.
This should work if it's dirt or body stains. If it's dye from a shirt, it may not work.

In the future, wear black bras with black tops and reserve the nude color bras for white and light tops.
