You know people are nowadays. Trying to save their clothing from too much wear and tear. Washing in warm or even cold for most of their stuff. Then setting the drier on low. I saw an article in the back part of the latest BH&G magazine. It was about laundry.
Laundry, you say? Yeah. The "stuff" that's in our laundry rooms is gross!
Based on today's washing methods there's a high percentage of folks that walk out of their laundry room with fecal matter on their hands. Fecal matter?
Apparently, most people have fecal matter in their underpants. No matter HOW well you wipe yourselves. They say you don't necessarily have to SEE it to have some in your underpants. EEEKKK!
Back in the OLD days, folks were washing in hot water and drying their clothes in the warm sun. Back then? The hot water would get the fecal matter off clothing more easily. And the sun? Would kill any residual germs that lingered.
You know people are nowadays. Trying to save their clothing from too much wear and tear. Washing in warm or even cold for most of their stuff. Then setting the drier on low. So the yucky stuff isn't being washed off & killed off our clothing. So the stuff you might think is clean? Isn't necessarily clean!
What does BH&G recommend? That all linens be washed in HOT water & dried on the HIGH. That all underpants (adults & kids) be washed as a separate load in HOT on the longest setting & dried on HIGH. This way the residual matter will be contained & washed away together. Then the biggest is that the clothing of kids who aren't potty trained be washed on HOT & dried on HIGH. Sounds like more loads of laundry coming my way!
