15 Tips - How to Wash Underwear to Extend Its Lifespan
To ensure your underwear lasts longer without losing quality and appearance, here are simple washing and care recommendations.
Tip No.1: Choosing the Right
Washing Temperature
The manufacturer provides essential information on the label, as each fabric type requires specific care. Gynecologists recommend wearing cotton underwear for comfort and easy machine washing. You can confidently wash such panties at temperatures between 40-60°C. Avoid overloading the machine for thorough washing, rinsing, and minimal detergent residue. The ideal balance is a half-loaded drum.
Tip No.2: Care for Lace and
Synthetic Fabrics
Lace lingerie and synthetic fabrics, especially in light colors, dislike high temperatures. Wash them with liquid detergent on a delicate cycle, or hand wash expensive sets. Avoid accumulating laundry for weeks, as older stains are harder to remove. Use hypoallergenic, liquid, or powdered detergents for gentle care. Avoid aggressive chemicals to prevent irritation and allergies. Liquid detergents dissolve quickly, rinsing off fabric efficiently.
Tip No.3: Choosing the Right
Detergents
Questioning the use of fabric softeners for washing underwear is common. While they provide a pleasant scent, they are chemical fragrances. Instead, add a few drops of essential oil directly into the washing machine drum.
Tip No.4: Low-Temperature Drying
Use the lowest drying temperature and the shortest time, if available. Avoid excessive mechanical and temperature impact to prevent premature wear. Air-dry underwear when possible, avoiding direct sunlight. Avoid hanging wet laundry on heated towel racks, as they can deform the fabric.
Tip No.5: Ironing Underwear -
Yes or No?
Ironing cotton underwear is a personal preference. Frequent ironing can accelerate fabric wear and imprint stains that haven't completely washed out. Exceptions include bacterial or yeast infections, requiring separate washing and ironing.
Tip No.6: No Ironing for Delicate
Fabrics
Do not iron lace, silk, or synthetic underwear. Avoid ironing shapewear made of elastic fabrics, as high temperatures may deform or melt them.
Tip No.7: Wash New Underwear
Before Wearing
Regardless of where you buy your new underwear, washing it is crucial. During production and storage, dust, excess dye, and other chemicals accumulate. Wash new panties at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
Tip No.8: Period Stain Removal
Soak underwear in cold water for half an hour, then treat stains with a cold water and salt solution before regular washing. This method is likely to solve the problem.
Tip No.9: Replace Worn Out
Underwear Regularly
Underwear, especially panties, has a limited lifespan. If it chafes, squeezes, or causes discomfort, don't hesitate to replace it. Discard faded, torn, or stretched underwear. Treat yourself to new, beautiful panties.
