Panties and socks are a daily must for everyone.
The health education we received from childhood was "to change and wash underwear and socks frequently".
Change is diligent enough, but washing is not necessarily necessary, especially in winter, many people wash socks once a week, and even underwear and socks are washed together.
We have a question: Can panties and socks be washed together?
How dirty are panties and socks?
There is always a stench when wearing socks. This is because the socks are stained with sweat secreted by the sweat glands of the feet. The main components are water, salt, lactic acid and urea.
Also, there will be some bacteria and skin keratin on the socks. If you have athlete's foot, you may also have fungus on your socks.
Underpants look relatively clean, but microbiologists have conducted studies that on average a pair of underpants has 0.1 gram of feces. In human excrement, in addition to a quarter of the water and undigested food waste, there is also Exfoliated cells and microorganisms, if the host itself is sick, may also carry hepatitis A virus, rotavirus, etc.
Although the socks you wear don't taste good, they are actually not very harmful.
Because the bacteria in socks are normal bacteria that exist on the surface of the body, even if they are transferred to other places on the skin, it will have little effect.
The microorganisms on the underwear may have strong pathogenicity, and may eventually lead to the disease through the fecal-oral route.
Therefore, in fact, underwear is dirtier and more harmful than socks.
Can the two be washed together?
Usually it can really be washed together!
The process of washing and drying clothes is itself a process of cleaning and disinfection, and it is not a big problem to wash them together.
In the following cases, it can really be washed together!
1. Use laundry disinfectant
Clothes sanitizer can be used when underwear and socks are washed together, which is relatively safer.
2. Clothes can be dried in time
Many washing machines already have a temperature control function and a drying function. If they can be dried or dried in time, they can be washed together.
3. No skin and private parts diseases
If there is no discomfort or disease on the skin or private parts of the feet, consider washing underwear and socks together.
4. Normal immunity
For people with normal immunity, it is not easy to cause disease, while people with weak immunity are more likely to be infected.
What can't be washed together?
Person with athlete's foot
People with athlete's foot may spread the fungus that causes athlete's foot on their underwear if they don't wash their socks and underwear separately, causing "tinea cruris."
Therefore, it is not entirely alarmist that mixing socks and panties can make private parts sick.
Socks and panties can generally be washed together
But if washing together causes discomfort, then wash them separately.
Of course, it depends on who washes the socks at home or not.
