Winter is leaving, and this means it's time to tidy up your seasonal items, including thermal underwear.
These items are delicate, they are not cheap, and they can be ruined in a couple of minutes if you wash them differently than the manufacturer recommends, for example, in an automatic washing machine.
We will tell you how to properly care for this delicate item.
This type of clothing does not restrict movement, but at the same time it warms, wicks away moisture, and allows the body to breathe normally.
If you wash it incorrectly, all the properties of the material can be lost irretrievably, the underwear will stretch or get damaged. Here's how to do it.
First, you need to decide how often you can wash such underwear. This point depends on how actively a person moves in it. For some, once a week is enough, while others have to wash it after just one use.
Secondly, the material requires careful care, which means it is better to wash it by hand rather than in a machine. In this case, you can wash the clothes more often, without fear of damaging the special properties of the material.
Thirdly, the material is quite easy to clean without using household chemicals. It is enough to rinse it in warm water. The fabric is afraid of high temperatures and therefore the upper limit is 40 degrees.
Fourthly, it is necessary to find out what the manufacturer of thermal underwear wanted to convey to the consumer. All detailed information is on the label.
And finally, the main thing is not to get carried away with detergents. It is better to buy a special detergent (or for wool), because regular powder can form a sticky film on the material.
