Readers often leave messages backstage in Dr. Clove:
[Underwear and socks, can they be washed together? ]
Dr. Clove invited dermatologists to tell everyone about underwear and socks.
Socks and underwear are washed together.
Can it infect skin diseases?
To answer this question, it depends on which country you are in.
Someone once asked me this:
Europe and the United States often have self-service laundry, with rows of public washing machines in laundry rooms.
Everyone came with their clothes and stuffed their clothes into them to wash when they saw which one was empty.
Don’t say the inner coat, even you and I don’t distinguish, also didn’t see their tinea is particularly much?
Hum, pull it down.
Since the university town opposite our hospital is equipped with coin-operated public washing machines, we don’t have too many young patients with tinea pedis and tinea cruris here.
The reason why some European and American countries can mix clothes without causing the spread of diseases is mainly because disinfectants are often added to their washing powder and laundry detergent.
However, in our country, clothing disinfection is not particularly popular. Most washing powder and laundry detergent do not add additional disinfectants, so I don’t recommend that you mix underwear and socks.
In some large supermarkets or e-commerce websites, clothing disinfectants are usually sold separately.
Most of these disinfectants contain m-diphenol or compound bleaching activator, which can deal with common pathogenic bacteria at ordinary times, such as Candida albicans, which causes mycotic vaginitis, Trichophyton rubrum, which causes tinea pedis (beriberi) and tinea cruris, etc.
Human beings invented washing machines, disinfectants, dryers… just to make life easier (lazy).
Can’t our people steal laziness and wash their underwear and socks together?
These five situations
Underwear and socks can be washed together.
1. Solitary and single persons
The socks of this kind of people are generally expected to be in a relatively closed environment for a long time, and the chances of contacting the external environment are even less than those of hands and faces.
If the feet are healthy and dry, and the underwear and socks are changed daily, then in this case, they can be washed together.
2. Clothes can be dried in time.
Plum rains season is a season of high incidence of mycosis. Most fungi can generally maintain strong reproductive capacity in warm and humid environment.
If the washed clothes can be dried or dried quickly, it is not conducive to the reproduction and spread of pathogenic bacteria. If there are such conditions, underwear and socks can also be washed together.
3. Immunity is normal
Fungi are widespread in the environment, but only people with relatively fragile immune systems are more vulnerable to fungal infection.
Similarly, people with fragile immunity are more likely to be infected with other bacteria and viruses than people with normal immunity under the same environment.
4. No skin or genital discomfort
Before underwear and socks are washed together, if there is no discomfort in the feet and genitals, and there is no abnormality in naked eye observation, it can be considered that washing clothes and socks together is no problem.
These conditions are too complicated? Let’s look at the most convenient and effective point 5:
Step 5 Use Clothes Disinfectant
If you want to be lazy and healthy, remember to try clothes disinfectant.
Again, it is not absolutely impossible to wash underwear and socks together, but it is safer to add clothes disinfectant.
In addition, when the washing temperature is higher than 60 ℃, the killing effect on pathogenic microorganisms is also significantly increased.
Of course, the most important thing is to cure beriberi and other diseases and cut off the root causes of hidden dangers.
As long as this is done, I support [stuffing everything except the living into the washing machine] with both hands to liberate the labor force.
