Socks are frequently taken off and changed, but cleaning them properly is essential! Otherwise, they can still cause foot diseases.
(1) It is best to wash the socks immediately after taking them off. Even if you do not wash them, it is best to soak them in soapy water or laundry detergent. This makes it easier to remove dirt from the socks and prevents it from sticking and being difficult to wash off.
(2) It is best to wash socks separately, especially not with underwear, because fungi on socks can easily transfer to underwear, so socks must be washed separately to avoid cross-infection.
(3) Both sides of socks must be washed. Some people wash their socks according to how they look after taking them off, and only wash one side. This makes it easy for the socks to not be clean. Because shoes are not washed often, they are prone to bacteria, and they can easily breed bacteria when they come into contact with your feet. You must scrub the soles and toes of your feet more frequently to keep them cleaner.
(4) After washing, soak in hot water for three minutes. Bacteria are not easy to kill. Soaking them in hot water for three minutes can kill 80% of the bacteria, so socks can be cleaned very well.
I guess everyone knows that we need to change our socks frequently and wash them frequently! So start today and wear comfortable socks on your feet! Make your feet healthier!
