Dirty Underwear News
Read this and you may never use your whirlpool tub again.
Beware of your dirty underwear! Just touching it could make you sick. When it comes to germs, dirty underwear is just about the worst thing you can touch, according to microbiologists.
This news is shocking: Your clean underwear isn’t much better. There is about a 10th of a gram of feces in the average pair of dirty underwear. Many people use cold water when they turn on the washing machine to save wear and tear on clothing and use short wash cycles to save on spiraling energy costs. And dirty laundry is not being properly sanitized! That means viruses such as hepatitis A, rotavirus and bacteria such as salmonella- all of which are carried through feces- survive not only the wash, but also an average 28-minute drying cycle. Of course, you can kill all those nasty germs but only if you wash your clothing in hot water. Water at 140 degrees Fahrenheit will sanitize laundry. But only 5 percent of Americans use hot water for laundry.
Some tips:
Don’t wash the handkerchiefs and kitchen towels with your underwear. And wash your hands after you touch the dirty and clean laundry.
