How to remove and clean the washing machine drawer (TIKTOK)
Who does not like new clothes?
They are just perfect when we take them out of the bag: the colors are light or dark in the right amount, the lines are sharp and the decorations are tight.
So why not wear them straight from the bag and enjoy them right away?
There are some good reasons to wash new clothes before wearing them for the first time, especially if it is items like underwear or T-shirts and shorts that are worn in direct contact with the skin.
1. Who wore the garment first?
Even when it comes to new clothes bought in the store, it must not be forgotten that not everyone is packed in bags on the shelf.
A large portion of the clothes folded on the shelf or those hanging on hangers were also measured by other people - previous customers, who tried, measured, regretted or even took home, measured again, regretted and returned to the store.
2. Excess color in clothes
- New clothes may contain excess color.
Why might this bother us?
The fabrics may discolor the body when sweating and may cause allergic reactions in the body.
Textile dyes from colorful garments can cause itchy, dry, and sometimes painful skin.

3. Chemicals
- Until the garment lands in the store it goes through many stations.
The fabric may be exposed to chemicals such as softeners, wrinkle repellents and more.
People with sensitive skin can be allergic to these substances which can cause unpleasant reactions like itching, sores or rash.
4. Clothes made of synthetic materials increase sweating
- In clothes made of synthetic fabrics, adherence to washing before wearing is doubly important.
These fabrics cause increased sweating, especially for sensitive skin.
As we sweat, the pores in the skin open up and the chemicals can penetrate the skin and cause an allergic reaction.

Suffering from sensitive skin?
Try these tips:
Washing each garment before wearing it - each new item of clothing must be washed before wearing it for the first time, as we know we will never know what the garment went through on the way to us and therefore it is advisable to observe all precautions.
Use of detergents that are suitable for sensitive skin: If you suffer from hypersensitivity to the skin, it is recommended to use detergents such as washing powder and odorless conditioner that have been dermatologically tested for sensitive skin.
High-frequency washing of the washing machine: It is recommended to clean the detergent drawer in one machine for several washes, to prevent the formation of mold.
This makes the laundry cleaner, and also helps the washing machine do the job better and maintains it over time.
Drying the clothes: It is recommended to dry the clothes in the most natural way as possible.
Separation of laundry from the rest of the household: If one of the members of the household has particularly sensitive skin, it is recommended to separate his clothes from the rest of the household in the laundry.
Drying Bedding and Towels: The tumble dryer can help dry the bedding and towels optimally without the fear of dust and insects sticking on their own.
Steam use: Some washing machines have steam washing programs.
The steam disinfects the clothes, and helps maintain hygiene at the highest level, with disinfection capabilities of up to 99.9% of the bacteria and germs that accumulate on our clothes.
