Wrong laundry method is harmful to human health

Many people always try to save trouble when washing clothes, but they don’t know that they are also harming their health in the process! When washing clothes, some people, in order to save water, usually wash underwear first, then outerwear, and then socks and other sundries, using one basin of water to wash everything, making it dirty and black. Although this ensures that some clothes are clean, the clothes washed in the end are seriously contaminated. Now let's take a closer look at what are the wrong ways of washing clothes that will affect your health?

1. Wrong laundry methods will affect human health

Mixing socks and women's underwear and washing them together is very harmful and can cause female genital diseases.

2. Some people save time and effort for the sake of convenience.

Put all the clothes you take off into the washing machine and wash them together. During the stirring and friction process of the washing machine, the bacteria, colors, and shed fibers on the clothes will inevitably contaminate each other.

3. It’s more complicated to take clothes to the dry cleaners

There are healthy people, sick people, and perhaps even patients with infectious diseases.

4. Some unscrupulous merchants cut corners to make profits

Skipping the disinfection process can also lead to disease transmission.

5. Some people never clean their washing machines

Keep washing as long as it can turn. The inner wall of the drain will be filled with cloth scraps and dirt, which will breed a lot of viruses and bacteria. These dirt and bacteria will be transferred to clothes during the washing process.

6. Many people think that clothes are too dirty

Or they think detergent is cheap and often use too much detergent, but do not rinse for enough time, so detergent residue often remains on clothes. Most detergents are alkylbenzene compounds, which are irritating to the skin and can also affect liver function. The detergents used in dry cleaning are mostly tetrachloroethylene, gasoline, etc., which are also harmful to human health. According to normal regulations, clothes that have been dry-cleaned must be hung out to dry for a period of time and only worn after the chemical detergents have evaporated.
