Many housewives have questions and doubts about the correct washing of thermal underwear. In fact, everything is easier than it seems. The main thing is to follow the basic recommendations and not break some taboos.
How to properly wash thermal underwear
In essence, the care of such products is very similar to the usual washing of high quality delicate clothing. The rules of washing, first of all, should be found on the label. There, the optimal temperature of the water and the appropriate washing mode in the machine for the type of laundry will be indicated.Although the information on the label for the care of products is not enough. Let's see more in detail.
Washing in the washing machine
When washing products in a machine, the machine should set not only a delicate mode, but also support for silk. If your machine does not have such programs, you will have to erase it manually. You should also set the “no spin” mode, as a strong spin can damage the structure of the linen.
It happens that over time, bright thermal underwear loses its whiteness. In no case do not use bleach and boiling. So you completely spoil the material, and it will not only lose its properties, but also its appearance.
Hand wash
If washing the thermal underwear in the machine is impossible, then you will have to wash it manually. To do this, follow the simple tips:
- For washing by hand, it is best to use ordinary soap. Prepare a warm soap solution and soak in it thermal underwear for half an hour.
- When you start the wash itself, do not wrinkle or scrub the material, but rinse with gentle movements.
- It should be washed in lukewarm water. You can not squeeze things too much. It is enough to hang them out for drying and wait until the water drains itself.
- Keep thermal underwear hanging away from batteries and heaters. Drying over the stove is also strictly prohibited. Simply lay out the laundry on the dryer and wait until it is completely dry.
- If you are going to wash your clothes for the first time (by the way, this concerns not only thermal underwear), carefully read the information on the label.
Washing of a layered clothing with a wool thread
In no case do not buy detergents with bleach or enzymes.Can not be used for washing and too aggressive bleach. The fact is that "hard" means can stretch and dissolve the wool fibers, and you, again, ruin the product.
Washing cotton thermal underwear
Cotton is the most common material because it is softer and easier to care for. Cotton thermal underwear is allowed to be washed in washing machines, automatic, but preferably also in delicate mode. Chlorine-containing products should not be used. Rinse the product well and avoid hard spin.

If you follow all the recommendations and do not violate the rules of washing, your clothes will not lose their appearance for a long time. And remember that you can not iron underwear after washing.
