Is it ok if i wash my dirty underwear under cold water setting?

Question

i wash my dirty underwear with other clothing that needs to be washed in cold. i was wondering.... would that be clean enough? how do u guys do it?

Answer 1

I wash all my clothes in cold water.  Warm water, just like using the dryer, can cause clothes to shrink.  Just make sure you're using soap that is made for cold water and everything will come out clean!

Answer 2

Well it might look OK but you won't be killing any germs.  Of course, if your detergent has added bleach, or you add some colour safe bleach it will be OK.

Answer 3

We all applaud you for at least trying.

Answer 4

if they are white ,wash them in warm water and add a bit of bleach to remove the stains, if they are coloured wash them in warm water and detergent , cold water will not remove certain  kinds of stains so you need the warm water to release these particles.

Answer 5

you can wash all your laundry in cold water, actually! (except when using bleach).

major bonus: you save money--hot water is expensive :)

Answer 6

wtf? boy, you don't ask questions about underwear on this site. sorry. but i have one word for you.BLEACH. good day.

Answer 7

Of course the first question is, " just how dirty are your underwear?"

I personally wash all my laundry in cold.

For whites and underwear and kitchen towels I add a little bleach. Everything seems to come out pretty clean.

Here's a little tip: every 4th washing or so just add TSP without any detergent. It seems to help the clothes stay brighter longer.

When it stops looking clean after washing I buy new stuff.

Unlike most guys I don't keep my underwear until there's nothing left but the elastic waistband.

that's the way I do it and it might just work for you. Good Luck.

Hey tico: if not "cleaning and laundry" category where would you go to ask about washing clothes. ( and why don't you go there now?) wtf indeed!!
