The following steps can be taken to disinfect and clean pure cotton clothes:
1. Choose the appropriate detergent: choose a detergent containing sterilizing and disinfecting ingredients agents, such as bleach or chlorine-containing disinfectants. Also, make sure the detergent does not contain strong fragrances or softeners, which can cause damage to your clothes. The use of bleach is not recommended as it may be corrosive to cotton clothing.
2. Temperature selection: Using warm water for washing can improve the cleaning effect. Normally, warm water between 40°C and 60°C is a more suitable choice. If there are stubborn stains on the clothing or there is a risk of diseases transmitted by human body fluids, you can choose a higher temperature, such as 70°C to 90°C. However, please note that high-temperature washing may cause some clothing to shrink or be damaged, so please check the washing instructions carefully before washing.
3. Correct washing method: Wash pure cotton clothes separately and by color to avoid staining. Choose the appropriate washing time according to the degree of soiling of the clothes, usually 10 to 15 minutes. Bactericidal disinfectant can be added during the washing process, and the appropriate amount of disinfectant can be added according to the product instructions. After washing, rinse the clothes thoroughly with clean water to ensure that detergent and disinfectant residues are fully removed.
4. Drying clothes: Dry clean cotton clothes until they are semi-dry and then expose them to the sun for a period of time. Sunlight has a bactericidal effect and can effectively eliminate bacteria and viruses. If there is no sunlight, you can choose a well-ventilated place to air dry naturally or use an electric heater to dry to avoid long-term storage in a humid environment.
As a reminder, before using any new detergent or disinfectant, please conduct a small test to ensure that it will not cause damage to clothing. . At the same time, you should also choose the appropriate washing method based on the texture of the clothes and detailed washing instructions to protect the quality and life of the clothes.
