Should you iron your underwear and socks?
Ironing is often considered an unavoidable chore in the laundry world. But what about smaller items like underwear and socks?
Do you really need to iron them, or is it an optional step? Let’s take a closer look at this question and sort out the truth from the lies.
1. Hygiene first:
From a purely hygienic point of view, ironing underwear and socks is not necessary. Washing at high temperatures and using effective detergents are more than enough to eliminate bacteria and germs that may be present on these items.
2. Aesthetics and comfort:
Ironing underwear and socks can improve their appearance by removing wrinkles and giving them a crisper look. Additionally, some people prefer to wear ironed clothes because they appear more comfortable and fit better.
3. Garment durability:
Ironing can help extend the life of your underwear and socks by protecting them from premature wear and tear due to persistent creases. However, this influence on the durability of items is minimal compared to other factors such as the quality of materials and general maintenance.
4. Saves time and energy:
Ironing every small item can be tedious and time-consuming, especially if you have a large pile of laundry to iron. For many people, the time and energy savings outweigh the minimal aesthetic benefits of ironing underwear and socks.
