What should I do if my underwear is not washed and has bugs?

Some experts say underwear is the dirtiest part of all clothing. As people's underwear, underwear that looks clean on the surface actually hides a large number of bacteria, viruses and parasites. Therefore, in our daily lives, we must develop the habit of changing underwear frequently, clean the underwear that has been changed in time, and put it in the sun to kill the germs in it to the greatest extent possible. In addition, if you do not pay attention to cleaning and your underwear is infested with bugs, it is recommended to throw the underwear away directly.

According to relevant statistics, if your underwear is not washed for a day, about 0.1 grams of feces will be left on the underwear, including 10 insect eggs, 100 parasites, 100,000 bacteria, and 1 million viruses. These viruses present in the excrement cannot be completely killed even if they are dried properly.

How to wash underwear correctly ?

1. Wash it clean

Some people just rub their underwear casually when washing it. If it is not cleaned well like this, it is better to wear disposable underwear every day, or not wear it at all.

When washing underwear, it is recommended to wash it by hand as much as possible to thoroughly clean the residue on the underwear.

The correct steps for washing underwear

① Soak the underwear in laundry detergent for about 15 minutes, and rub it with your hands for 3-5 minutes.

②After washing, rinse in clean water.

If women's underwear is stained with menstrual blood, you can soak it for a while and then wash it with laundry detergent containing protein enzymes.

2. Be thorough

More importantly, be sure to rinse thoroughly. Any residual detergent will irritate the private parts and easily cause itching!

3. When washing underwear, pay attention to these points!

①Do not wash with other clothes

The hygiene requirements for underwear are very high. If they are mixed with other clothes, it is easy for external germs and pollutants to be transferred to the underwear.

If you wash your underwear and socks together, you may suffer from tinea cruris and vaginitis. Although the probability is very small, it is recommended that you wash your underwear separately as much as possible . If possible, it is best to have a basin or container specifically for washing underwear.

② Choose a special underwear cleaner

When choosing detergents, detergents with low irritation cannot clean stubborn stains, detergents with strong cleaning ability are unhealthy for private parts, and laundry detergents are easy to not rinse clean.

It is recommended to use special underwear laundry detergent or soap.

③Do not wash underwear with bleach

If my underwear is stained, can I use bleach?

The answer is no.

Cleaning with bleach does have a bactericidal effect and can remove yellow stains, but the chloride in bleach is highly irritating, and if cleaning is not thorough enough, residue may remain.
