Is it okay to iron your underwear with hot water?

Many details in life are closely related to health. Women's physiological structure makes the body more vulnerable to invasion by external bacteria. Therefore, we should pay more attention to the details of life and learn how to wash underwear scientifically. If female friends do not wash their underwear properly, bacteria will grow and cause gynecological diseases. So, what are the benefits of using hot water to iron underwear? What are the details to pay attention to when washing underwear?

Change clothes every day and don’t accumulate

Working women have busy schedules and heavy housework. In order to save time, many of them buy more than a dozen pairs of underwear at a time. When they don’t have time to wash them every day, they save them up and wash them together on the weekend. "This practice is not advisable. Although you change into new underwear every day, if you do not wash it in time, the secretions on the underwear will continue to breed bacteria at room temperature, and it will be more difficult to clean over time." Li Hongzhu suggested that underwear must be changed and washed on the same day.

Rub soap for 3-5 minutes

Some women often just rub their underwear quickly when washing it, and sometimes they don't even use soap. In this regard, Zhu Lan believes that underwear should still be washed with soap. The two most common gynecological pathogens - mold and Trichomonas - can be killed by the alkaline environment of soap solution. Zhu Lan reminded that ordinary soap can achieve this effect and there is no need to use special "underwear cleaning liquid" for cleaning.

Rinse well

After rubbing, be sure to rinse thoroughly in running water to wash off the soap bubbles thoroughly. Li Hongzhu explained that the female vagina is an acidic environment and the secretions are also acidic, while soap is alkaline. When washing, the acid and base come into contact to form salt. If they are not rinsed clean in time, the underwear will become hard over time, which is not good for health.

During the inflammation period, underwear should be scalded with boiling water

Women with fungal or Trichomonas vaginitis should wear cotton underwear. After washing, blanch it in boiling water or boil it directly to completely eliminate the germs.

Ironing underwear with hot water can kill germs very well. Drying underwear in the sun is also very important. Clean underwear must be dried in the sun. Ultraviolet rays can kill germs on the underwear, which is also very good for health. If it really cannot be exposed to the sun, it must not be placed in a damp bathroom to dry. It should be hung in a ventilated place such as a balcony.
