How to wash thermal underwear so as not to spoil it

Things to remember before washing thermal underwear

• Carefully read the information on the product label. It indicates which fibers the item is made of, as well as the recommended temperature, washing and drying method.
• Wash thermal underwear in water with a temperature not exceeding 30 degrees. A hotter liquid can spoil the fibers of the fabric, and if there is wool in the composition, the thing can sit down altogether.
• Take a good look at the thermal underwear before washing. If it has holes, puffs, loose seams or other damage, you need to sew everything up first.
• Before washing, fasten all zippers, Velcro and turn the product inside out.
• Wash colored, dark and light items separately to avoid unwanted staining of materials.

Which products are suitable for washing thermal underwear

There are special liquid detergents for washing thermal underwear and sportswear. They effectively remove impurities, including sweat stains, eliminate unpleasant odors and gently affect the fibers of the fabric.

Regular laundry gels are also suitable. They dissolve well in water and, unlike powders, are well washed out of fabric, especially when hand-washed.

If there is wool in the thermal underwear, you can use special gels for washing woolen products or delicate fabrics. A mild shampoo for hair is also quite suitable for cleaning things by hand.

In any case, make sure that there are no bleaches, stain removers and chlorine in the composition of the selected product. These components can spoil the fabric from which the thermal underwear is made.

And even with manual and machine washing, you should not use conditioners and rinses. These products can get clogged into the fibers of the fabric, which is why thermal underwear will lose its properties.

Then remove the excess liquid by slightly squeezing the thing, but not twisting it. You can also wrap thermal underwear in a terry towel and remove the water with pressing movements.

How to dry thermal underwear properly

The best and most gentle way is to spread a towel on a flat horizontal surface, put thermal underwear on it, straighten the fabric with your hands and let it dry completely naturally. At the same time, it is important that the item is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not hang thermal underwear on dryers, hangers and batteries, otherwise it may deform and lose its properties.
