Underwear is the clothing closest to the body, and you must first pay attention to cleaning. Dirt not only means uncleanness, but also affects the ventilation, sweat absorption and softness of the fabric, thereby causing damage to the fabric. Buy more of your favorite underwear and use it alternately, and the lifespan of each underwear can be extended a little. High-end or high-priced products are sometimes just beautiful but not necessarily durable. Only by caring carefully can you maintain its advantages. The material of underwear is mostly soft and thin. Do not use too much force when wearing and taking off, and you should also be careful not to scratch the fibers of your nails. When putting on and taking off your underwear, be careful not to dip foundation or lipstick on your underwear.

1. Classification and pre-washing. First, the clothes to be washed are classified according to the following key points and then washed with water.

①. Classification by fiber: Differentiate based on trademark instructions, fiber name and washing method.

 ②. Classification according to the degree of pollution: The degree of pollution can range from 5-10 minutes. If the time is too long, it is easy to damage the material.

 ③. Classification by color: dark colors, light colors, patterns, and whites should not be put together at the same time.

 ④. Classification by strength: Choose strong, weak or neutral lotions according to the mark, and do not use them with bleach.

 ⑤. Pre-washing means gently soaking with clean water or warm water, so that you can simply remove sweat or dust and other things that are easily removed.

2. Washing of underwear:

Washing detergent/washing agent should not be directly stained on the underwear: When used in combination with fluorescent bleaching, it will cause uneven color, fading or discoloration, etc., the lotion should be dissolved in water first, and then put the underwear in. In addition, the use of bleach can make the quality of underwear moldy and discolor, and should be avoided.

Try to wash in the shortest time: 3 minutes is enough when washing the washing machine. Long-term washing can easily cause the clothes to discolor or dye. Avoid soaking with darker clothes before washing. Washing methods for silk clothing: Although silk clothing is gentle and shiny, it is prone to wrinkles, shrinkage and damage from sunlight. Therefore, it is advisable to use a neutral lotion and wash it with hand, then absorb the moisture with a towel and let it dry flat.

Dark and white or light-colored clothes must be washed separately: when washing machine, white and light-colored clothes must be washed separately when hand-washing, that is, you should clean them in sequence, such as washing white clothes first, then washing light-colored clothes, and finally dark-colored clothes. Be careful not to mix dark clothes with other clothes to wash them to avoid contaminating the color. Secondly, clothes with less dirt should be washed first in sequence, and clothes with more dirt should be placed before washing.

The zipper part must be pulled up: a full-body zippered zipper must be pulled up when cleaning. It is best to take out the movable shoulder straps and clean them separately. Clothing with soft rings and zippers must be washed by hand: if excessive force is applied during hand washing, it will easily deform the clothes. It is best to use " pressure washing method and " rub washing method.

The clothes placed in the laundry net are limited to half: Since underwear is generally soft and delicate, it is placed in the laundry net according to the instructions of the label when washing clothes, but it must be noted that the clothes placed in the net must be limited to half of the laundry net.

At least two laundry nets should be used separately: the purpose is to separate clothes with metal or soft rings and clothes without soft rings to avoid damaging other clothes. If the soft ring is deformed, carefully rub it back to its original shape with your hands. Do not force it back to its original shape too quickly. The key point is to slowly restore it to its original shape.

Machine wash (dry clothes) for 30 seconds: Put the clothes in the original laundry net to dry clothes (dehydrate) and then wrap them in a dry towel, squeeze them with your hands to make the moisture absorbed by the towel. Because if you twist the moisture directly with your hands, it is easy to wrinkle and damage the material of the clothes.

2. Formal cleaning of underwear: When formally cleaning underwear, you should pay attention to the following two points:

①. The choice of lotion can generally be divided into two types:

 A. Those who dissolve in water are scattered: the most detergent is detergent, but it will damage its color.

  B. Those who are dissolved in water are neutral: the detergent force is weak, but the flexibility and color of the fabric remain unchanged.

②. Pay attention to the concentration and temperature of the cleaning solution. The most effective cleaning solution is that 5 grams of detergent is dissolved in 1 liter of water, and its concentration ratio is 0.2%. The temperature is about 40 degrees Celsius. If you are reluctant to detergent, the cleaning power will be reduced; otherwise, the excess detergent will adhere to the clothes and will not be effective. In addition, if the detergent is not completely dissolved, it will not only have no detergent effect, but will instead cause the fluorescent agent to be stained on the dry clothes, and that part of the dirt will not be removed and become spots, so it must be completely dissolved before it can be put into the underwear.

3. The correct way to dry underwear

①. After washing, gently squeeze the underwear with your hands or use a towel to wrap it in the middle to absorb moisture, swipe it a few times, flatten it, try to smooth the wrinkles, clamp the unelastic area with a clip, and hang it upside down. (The bra's lace becomes heavy and piles downward after soaking in water, and it is ugly after drying, so it should be hung upside down in a ventilated place to dry).

 ②. It should be dried immediately after washing to avoid wrinkles and fading in a long-term humid condition.

 ③. Direct sunlight is the reason why the bra turns yellow, fades, and the fabric is weakened. Indoor heating will also cause yellowing, please avoid it.

4. Collection of underwear

Some people think that underwear is afraid of seeing people, so they are left in the place where people are kept, and they are collected in the corner. We say that underwear should be dried before sterilization, while bras should be dried in the shade to avoid yellowing or weakening elasticity. In fact, there will be no outsiders to see your wardrobe. You can fold the bra, put the straps and shoulder straps into the cup, place them at the top of all clothes, or fold them up two or three pieces. This will not be easy to deform. If you stuff them under the clothes, the clothes are too heavy and will crush the steel ring.
