What water temperature should you wash socks in a washing machine: hotter doesn't mean better
Many housewives, especially inexperienced ones, naively believe that socks are washed much better in hot water.
In fact, very often the effect obtained is diametrically opposite to what was expected.
This means that due to excessively hot water, dirt particles “stick” to the fabric, and the material turns grey.
Another disadvantage of water that is too hot is that it has a destructive effect on the rubber bands, causing them to lose their elasticity.
As a result, the socks stretch and lose their shape.
The optimal temperature for washing socks is 30-40 degrees, that is, the water should be moderately warm.
Now let's talk about the time that socks should spend in the washing machine drum.
If you want to freshen up and remove the smell, then half an hour will be enough, but if the goal is to get rid of dirt, the time can be increased to 40 minutes or more.
Earlier we talked about why you should “iron” salt.
