All of us, hopefully, make sure to throw the dirty underwear into the laundry basket immediately after use and from there straight into the machine.
But it turns out that most of us wash our underwear incorrectly.
According to a survey conducted in Great Britain, about 76% of Britons wash their whites at a temperature below 40 degrees to save energy.
But this savings may cause more harm than good.
The reason for this is that underwear is properly cleaned only at a temperature higher than 40 degrees.
According to a test, even in clean underwear 0.1 grams of feces were found, underwear that is washed at a temperature below 40 degrees can contain up to 10 grams of feces.
Bacteria, odors, acne, rashes, chafing and infections are just some of the consequences of improper brick washing.
The underwear is designed to protect their intimate areas and during the day they absorb dead skin cells, body oils, sweat and other fluids.
Therefore, even if you took a short shower in the middle of the day, always change your underwear.
How should you wash bricks?
If you wash your underwear with the other dirty clothes, you should stop this practice due to the fact that the remaining bacteria from the underwear can move to your other clothes.
Therefore, the recommendation is to wash the underwear together with hand towels and a bath at a temperature of 60 degrees to ensure that the bacteria are completely destroyed.
If you still want to save energy, you can look for laundry detergents, some of which promise to destroy bacteria even at low temperatures.
