All winter items require care and periodic cleaning.

We're not just talking about sweaters and jackets, but also about hats, scarves and gloves.

The fact is that many microbes linger on them, which can cause the transmission of infectious diseases.

In addition, dirty accessories can cause skin problems.

If the hat is used every day, it should be washed three times a month.

As for scarves, it is enough to wash them once or twice a month.

They must be washed by hand.

Woolen items should be washed at a temperature of 30-35 degrees so that they do not "shrink". After the procedure, they must be rinsed in clean water to wash away the remains of the detergent.

It is worth adding that some items should not be cleaned independently; they should be dry cleaned.

It should be noted that many people forget to clean their gloves in winter.

However, it is on such things that the most infections accumulate.

If worn regularly, they should be washed every seven days. If they are leather, they should be hand-cleaned inside and out.
