- Can socks and underwear be washed together?
The possibility of infection is very small. Many bacteria have been taken away in the high temperature environment and after washing. Even if a small part of it survives, there is no relative difference after drying. The humidity environment can no longer continue to grow and reproduce. Even if this does not kill all the bacteria, you have to believe that the human body has the ability to self-barrier and protect itself. If there is no problem with the immune system, even if they attack the human body, it is difficult to succeed. Therefore, as long as the water temperature is sufficient and the body is dried after washing, there will be no problems with human immunity, and socks and underwear will not be infected when they are washed together.
2. Under what circumstances can’t wash underwear and socks together
1. You do not have a specific disease
The so-called specific diseases include: athlete’s foot, skin diseases, vaginitis and other genital-related diseases. If you are unlucky enough, it is best not to mix underwear and socks. Mixed washing can easily cause cross-infection of bacteria on clothes and induce some diseases. The easiest way is to wash your underwear and socks separately to enhance the cleaning effect.
2, your immunity is normal
Fungi exist in various environments, even if they do not suffer from specific diseases, they may still pose a threat to people with weakened immune systems. People with weakened immunity (such as children, people who have just had an operation) are more likely to be infected by fungus. These people should wash their clothes and stockings by hand separately to avoid infection.
3, clothes can be dried in time
First of all, it is best to separate laundry by hand during the rainy season. Because the climate is warm and humid at this time, the reproduction ability of various microorganisms is relatively strong, and it is also the time when fungal diseases are high, so separate washing is just in case.
4. Underwear and socks are made of the same material
Cellulose fiber underwear cannot be mixed with woolen socks for washing. Because woolen socks will shed hair and stick to the surface of the underwear, it will increase the chance of skin allergies and infections in the private parts, reduce comfort, and cause damage to the clothing itself. Of course, there is no such concern for clothes of the same material.
3. What to pay attention to when washing clothes in a washing machine
1. When washing clothes, you should take out the things in your pockets. If it is small parts pins, paper, etc., they may block the parts and pipes of the washing machine during the rotation process, reducing the service life of the washing machine
2. When washing clothes, the buttons should be unbuttoned and zippered. If the buttons are not unbuttoned, the pulling force of the washing machine will remove the buttons and deform the zipper if the zipper is not pulled properly.
3. Washing too many clothes at a time is not good. In addition to increasing the load of the washing machine and reducing the life of the washing machine, it will also make the clothes unclean. Don’t affect the washing machine because of saving water and electricity.
4. Soak the laundry detergent overnight before washing the clothes. This is not good. The laundry detergent residue on the clothes will decompose overnight and produce other substances, which will reduce the life of the clothes. Soak for about 20 minutes.
4. Why should the washing machine be clean
Putting clothes in such a “dirty” washing machine not only cannot clean the clothes, but also causes secondary pollution to the clothes. The close-fitting underwear and socks are machine-washed together, with disastrous consequences. This is already the case for own washing machines, not to mention public laundry rooms. When you are not sure about the cleanliness of your laundry equipment, it is best to wash your underwear and socks by hand. Therefore, we must ensure the cleanliness of the washing machine itself, and clean the inside of the washing machine barrel regularly. This operation is difficult to complete by yourself, it is best to find a professional cleaning master to do it. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that no matter whether the underwear and socks are mixed by hand washing or machine washing, it is recommended to use detergents with extra disinfection ability, which will sterilize more thoroughly, and is safer and healthier.
