Things to note when cleaning and maintaining underwear

What bothers girls the most is that their sexy and beautiful underwear becomes deformed and yellowed after being washed a few times. It is a pity to throw it away, but it is also unhealthy to wear it. What should we do? How to clean and maintain underwear to make it more hygienic, healthy, durable and long-lasting? Let's learn a few tricks now.

1. Pay attention to the following points when cleaning and maintaining underwear

1. Before washing the underwear, check the underwear first. If there is any unfastened thread, it must be sewn first. Also hook the back hook and fasten the shoulder straps to prevent the fabric from being hooked during washing.

2. When washing, you should first dissolve the neutral detergent in warm water at 30℃-40℃ before putting down the clothes. After soaking for a while, pat them gently with your hands. Do not scrub them hard to avoid wearing the fabric.

3. Rinse the detergent thoroughly during cleaning.

4. Do not use fabric softener after washing to avoid damaging the elastic fibers of the underwear.

5. After washing, do not wring it dry with your hands. You can only wrap it with a dry towel, squeeze it with your hands, let the towel absorb the moisture, and then flatten the underwear to its original shape. If it is a bra, adjust the cup shape.

6. Sun exposure can easily cause clothes to deteriorate and fade, so underwear can only be dried in a cool and ventilated place.

7. A wet bra should be hung at the point between the cups. Do not hang the shoulder straps because the weight of the water will stretch the shoulder straps.

2. Why does underwear turn yellow?

If there is bleach on your hands or the washing basin when washing underwear, the underwear will change color once it comes into contact with it, so you must be careful when washing clothes. In addition, if the underwear is not thoroughly rinsed with enough water after washing, leaving excess detergent on the clothes will also cause the underwear to turn yellow. Underwear that has been exposed to the sun will also turn yellow.

3. How to clean stains on underwear?

Dirty underwear should be washed as soon as possible. The longer the time, the more the stain will penetrate into the fiber tissue of the material and become more difficult to clean. Here are some common stain removal tips:

1. Remove lipstick or foundation with alcohol or volatile solvent, and then wash with a dilute lotion at a moderate temperature.

2. For blood stains, use a toothbrush dipped in diluted detergent and scrub.

3. Soak the sweat stains in rice water, rub them slightly and then rinse them off.

4. Soak the wine in cold water and then wash it off with warm soapy water.

5. Sprinkle flour on the stain and rub it with clean water.

4. Can underwear be machine washed?

If the underwear label does not specify that it must be hand washed, be sure to wash it in the washing machine for three minutes. Long-term washing can easily cause clothing to discolor or stain.

In addition, according to the instructions on the label, wash the underwear in a laundry net, with the number limited to half the capacity of the laundry net. At the same time, wash the underwear with and without soft rings separately to avoid damaging other clothes.

5. How to store underwear so that it does not deform, change color or mold?

Underwear should be placed in underwear counters. The space should not be too crowded so as to rub against other clothes. The folding method also affects the shape of the underwear. The principle of folding is to follow the shape of the underwear so that the underwear will not be excessively twisted.

When storing, make sure the underwear is completely dried. You can also put some desiccant in the closet to absorb moisture. Don't use sealed plastic bags to store underwear, as this will easily cause mold. When storing underwear, be sure to keep it away from insect repellents, because insect repellents are the nemesis of silk and elastic fabrics. Once in contact with them, they will become brittle, loose and lose elasticity.
