The correct way to wash women's lingerie

The correct method is to gently press, pat, or knead the lingerie after soaking it in detergent. Additionally, people often put lingerie straight into the dryer or hang it up to dry after washing, but this is actually incorrect, as it can cause the garment to lose its shape. Instead, you should use a dry towel to thoroughly absorb the excess moisture before hanging it to dry.

Sports bras can be machine-washed, though you should still avoid using a tumble dryer.
When it comes to cleaning underwear, simply follow the principle of "wash thoroughly and rinse well"; the specific washing method or type of detergent used matters less. However, before tossing underwear into the washing machine, you should address any stains-such as vaginal discharge for women or protein residues from nocturnal emissions for men-by pre-scrubbing them with detergent. Otherwise, a biofilm may form on the fabric, promoting bacterial growth.

Of course, when choosing detergents for daily use, you should select products suited to the specific type of clothing. Generally, natural soap powder is best for intimate apparel, baby clothes, and diapers; liquid detergent is better for delicate items; and laundry powder is more suitable for denim, heavy coats, curtains, and sofa covers.
