The weather is getting warmer, and our bodies are beginning to show signs of sweating, especially the feet that are wrapped in shoes all day long. At this time, it is particularly important to wash socks frequently.

So are Women's socks cleaner by hand or by machine?

Mistakes in cleaning socks
1.Wash by hand is much clear?
NO! In our life, many people think that hand washing is the correct way to wash socks. But this is not the case. The relevant science shows that hand washing socks is not effective in sterilizing bacteria. The reason for the cleaner feeling is more from psychological factors.


2.Socks can be washed with other clothing?
NO! Many people wash socks with other clothes when washing clothes. This approach seems convenient, but it is actually very wrong. Because the bacteria content of socks is much higher than that of other clothes, in the process of mixing, not only can the socks not be effectively sterilized, but also the bacteria on the socks may be transmitted to other clothes. Especially people with beriberi should pay more attention.

Machine wash socks not clean?
Numerous studies have shown that a 45-minute machine wash program, combined with a temperature of around 30 degrees, plus ordinary laundry detergent, can remove as little as 99% and as much as 99.9999% of bacteria from socks. Moreover, if you add some disinfectant during machine washing, and dry it at high temperature after washing, the sterilization effect will be better.


What is the best way to wash socks?
1.Suitable for hand washing
For washing socks, machine washing is the cleanest, but socks need to be washed separately after machine washing, so it is more troublesome for many families with only one washing machine. For this reason, we do not refuse hand washing, but hand washing is limited to a small amount of socks, and using it with disinfectant during cleaning can also improve the sterilization effect.

2.Suitable for Machine washing
For a large amount of dirty socks, the recommended cleaning method is machine washing, because machine washing not only saves time and effort, but also has good results, but remember to use disinfectant to disinfect the washing machine after cleaning, so as not to affect the clothes behind.
