Sometimes, I am busy with work and after taking a shower, do I throw my underwear into the washing machine at will? Sometimes I have to take care of my child for a day and don’t want to wash my underwear by hand at all, so I want to use the washing machine to save time and trouble, right? But after wearing underwear for so many years, do you know how to clean underwear correctly? Let’s take a look with the editor.
1. Correct washing suggestions
1. Before washing underwear, it is best to have a special washing machine for washing underwear. The secondary pollution of the washing machine is serious, and disinfection and anti-bacterial treatment are very necessary. The drum of the washing machine, the inner wall, the small bag that stores the hair balls, the gaps in the connecting parts of the internal parts, etc. are all places where dirt is hidden. Therefore, it is best to check whether the washing machine has odor, mold, etc. before washing. If so, use clean water, or appropriate amount of 84 disinfectant water to "take a bath" and then start washing.
2. Underwear and outerwear need to be washed separately. The clothes worn by
will have multiple bacteria, let alone underwear. The coat exposed to the dust contains countless bacteria, including some powerful pathogenic bacteria. There are various bacteria that fall off the skin surface and excrete from the intestine and urinary tract on the underwear. According to statistics, there are 10 to 100 microorganisms per square centimeter. Even if you use detergent to clean it, you can only remove 80% of the bacteria. Bacteria that escape the net will also cause cross infection. Therefore, when soaking and washing clothes, you must wash your underwear and outerwear separately.
3. Washing underwear with soap is clean
What kind of underwear do you use? Washing detergent, laundry detergent? Wrong! Soap is your wisest choice. Soap has good sterilization effect and does not damage the skin; but if you are using a small washing machine, you can consider soap powder, which is physical, pure natural, and low-irritation. At the same time, the detergent ability of soap is also retained. It is recommended to buy soap that is specially designed for washing underwear in supermarkets, which is gentler and healthier.
4. Take out quickly after washing. To prevent bacteria from growing, the clothes should be taken out within 30 minutes after washing the washing machine. Once it exceeds 1 hour, it needs to be rewashed. Generally, after half a year of use, the newly purchased washing machine should be cleaned and disinfected every two or three months.
5. The underwear and underwear should be changed every day, wash it every day, and wash it in time.
Do not let underwear and underwear stay overnight, otherwise it will easily breed bacteria and increase the difficulty of cleaning. In addition, many insects like women's underwear, which is very troublesome; underwear is generally relatively small. In order to increase the friction density, it is recommended to use your thumb and index finger to tighten it and rub it finely so that it can be washed clean and thoroughly.
6. Do not expose directly to the sun when washing underwear.
should be blown dry in a cool place first, and then placed in the sun to disinfect. Otherwise, the underwear will easily become hard and deformed.
7. It is strictly forbidden to use disinfectant to disinfect
When washing underwear, disinfect with disinfectant. People who love cleanliness too much often think that simple washing of underwear is not clean enough. You have to use "hard" materials and disinfect the underwear after washing. Don't be smart! The reason why disinfectant can kill bacteria and viruses is because its main ingredients are hypochlorite and strong oxidants. The damage to the skin of these ingredients cannot be ignored, it is highly irritating and corrosive, and it is difficult to clean with one or two basins of clean water. If it is not washed clean, the person will enter the human body through the pores of the skin after sweating. The mild ones will cause itching and peeling, and the severe ones will cause dizziness, nausea and discomfort.
2. The correct choice of detergent
1. Please use weak alkaline or neutral laundry detergent, or use cold detergent. In addition to a good washing feeling, it can reduce the worries of fading and discoloration.
2. Do not use chlorine bleach to prevent discoloration.
3. Correct washing method
1. Key points of washing;
(1) Wash regularly and the time is short;
(2) Rinse very clean;
(3) Gently rub and wash and dry quickly;
2. Wash method
Hand wash with cold water, drop a little detergent inside (do not put the underwear in before the detergent completely dissolves to prevent spots), put the underwear in and soak for a while (about 5 to 10 minutes, if the time is too long, dirt will stick to the clothes again). When washing, you must fasten the buttons to avoid hooking with other clothes. Use your hands to rub the dirty areas. Just wash the cup part with water. If the velvet part of the steel ring is still a bit dirty, you can rub it with a strap or brush it with a small toothbrush. Residual detergents are easy to cause discoloration and are also harmful to the skin. Please wash them thoroughly with clean water (do not soak in tap water for a long time, as the chlorine in the water will discolor the underwear.)
If placed in the washing machine, just place the underwear in the underwear pocket for washing specially for underwear. This will ensure that the underwear is cleaned and effectively reduce the deformation and damage caused by the rotation of the washing machine.
4. Correct drying method
1. After washing, gently squeeze the underwear with your hands or use a towel to wrap the underwear in the middle to absorb moisture, swipe it a few times, flatten it, try to smooth the wrinkles, clamp the unelastic area with a clip, and hang it upside down. (The bra's lace becomes heavy and piled downwards after soaking in water, which is ugly after drying, so it should be hung upside down in a ventilated place to dry)
2. After washing, it should be dried immediately to avoid wrinkles and fading in a long-term moist situation.
3. Direct sunlight is the reason why the bra turns yellow, fades, and the fabric is weakened. Indoor heating will also cause yellowing, please avoid it.
5. Correct collection
Some people think that underwear is afraid of seeing people, so they are left in the place where they are carried and collected in the corner. We say that underwear should be dried to be sterilized, while bras should be dried in the shade to avoid yellowing or weakening elasticity.
In fact, there will be no outsiders to see your wardrobe. You can fold the bra, put the straps and shoulder straps into the cup, place them at the top of all clothes, or fold them up two or three pieces. This will not be easy to deform. If you stuff them under the clothes, the clothes are too heavy and will crush the steel ring.
