What are the disadvantages of not washing clothes for a long time?

1, breeding bacteria.

T-shirts, close-fitting sportswear, socks and silk clothes: Sweat on clothes will breed germs after each wear, so it is best to wash T-shirts and close-fitting sportswear every time. The water temperature for washing socks should not exceed 40℃, otherwise the socks will shrink and harden. Silk has poor light resistance, so don't expose it to the sun. It is best to dry in a cool and ventilated place.

2. Clothes deteriorate and turn yellow, and the service life is shortened.

If close-fitting pajamas are not washed for a long time, microorganisms and skin exfoliated cells will accumulate in pajamas in large quantities, which will bring health risks. When cleaning, it is best to wash it by hand with cold water and put it in a cool place to dry, otherwise the sunshine will make the pajamas deteriorate and yellow, shortening the service life.

3. The clothes are moldy and smelly.

Down jacket, cashmere coat, leather coat. Most winter clothes can be washed once at the end of winter, and it takes a long time in the north, so they can be washed again in the middle of the season. Too frequent washing will reduce the warmth retention performance.

When cleaning down jackets, soak them in cold water for 20 minutes, then add neutral detergent, and then gently brush them with a soft brush.

Dry cleaning is recommended for cashmere coats. If there is no obvious dirt on the leather coat, take a cloth and gently wipe it with soda water and dry it.

Leather goes moldy easily. If you find that the mildew spots or stains on the leather can't be removed, you'd better send them to dry cleaning.

Precautions for washing clothes:

All clothes are washed at the same water temperature.

1, water temperature is very important if you want to wash clothes clean. Generally speaking, warm water (30℃-60℃) is conducive to the full dissolution of washing powder, increase the activity of activated molecules, promote the saponification of oil stains in water and improve the washing effect. When clothes meet water, fibers will expand, get wet and stretch. Because of the different heat resistance of the fibers that make up the clothing material, the temperature that the clothing can withstand is also different.

2. Many people soak clothes for several hours or even one night before washing clothes, thinking that the longer they soak, the cleaner they will be. In fact, the opposite is true. If the soaking time is too long, the chemicals in the laundry detergent and the stains on the clothes are more likely to decompose and produce odor. Sewage can't be thrown away. After a long time, it will enter the fabric of the clothes, making the clothes fade and age.

3. Soak the dirty clothes for 15 minutes. Even heavy clothes should not be soaked for more than 30 minutes.
