How to wash socks correctly？

It is best to wash the socks immediately after taking them off. Even if not washed, it is best to soak them in soapy water or laundry detergent. This way, dirt on the socks is easier to clean and will not easily stick to them and cannot be washed off.

Socks are best washed separately, especially not with underwear, as fungi on socks can easily transfer to underwear. Therefore, socks must be washed separately to avoid cross infection.

Both sides of the socks need to be cleaned. Some people clean their socks as they look when they take them off, only washing one side, which makes it easy for the socks to not be cleaned thoroughly. Because shoes are not washed frequently and are prone to bacterial growth when in contact with the feet, it is necessary to rub and wash the soles and toes of the feet more frequently to make them cleaner.

After washing, soak in hot water for three minutes. Bacteria are not easily killed. Soaking socks in hot water for three minutes can kill 80% of bacteria, making them easy to clean.
