Even underwear needs proper care
Humans are naturally born vain and we are just too willing to do everything and anything just to look and feel good. People, especially women are too anxious of their physical looks so it's like a personal advocacy that everything external should look perfect. But the thing is when it comes to proper laundry care of clothing especially the underwear a lot fail. We think that since underwear and lingerie are worn inside and are not the very first stuff people see, there aren't any special ways you can take care of them. That's definitely a big mistake.
It's a general practice that when doing the laundry whites goes with whites and colored with colored. Warning: You may be doing the right thing to avoid staining but you might be spreading E. coli with the kitchen towels. So it is recommended that you wash your lingerie or underwear and extremely soiled stuff separately in high temperature since bacteria could still survive in cold water.
There have been times when we get mad seeing our favorite swimsuit or the lace panties our hubbies gave us, torn or faded. Well, if you do your own laundry, you need to read the labels on your clothes more carefully. One of the most important things you should know when washing your lingerie and other underwear is the material it is made of. There are some materials are not suitable for machine wash. Sometimes a bra gets out of shape especially when machine washed so when the label says drip dry, have it hung wet and do hand-shaping only. Of course nobody wants to use an out of shape bra.
Part of human vanity is making sure whites are really whites and not off white so there are people who just can't help use bleaching agents. There's nothing wrong using it but again, check the materials because there are some which are sensitive to bleaches like wool. There are a dozen of care symbols and the above mentioned are just few of the common things we need to know. After all your lingerie is an investment and even underwear needs an extra care.
