Dirty socks are a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. This can potentially cause unpleasant odors and skin problems on the feet such as infections or rashes. This is because the dirt that sticks to socks does not only come from dust or dirt around us, but also from sweat and natural oils produced by the feet.
To overcome this, it is important to keep socks clean, especially if they are used frequently. When socks are not washed properly or are used repeatedly without washing, the dirt will build up and become increasingly difficult to remove. As a result, socks that initially function as protection can actually become a source of problems.
Even so, many people are still confused about how to wash socks, especially if they are black and dirty. Not without reason, socks have a fabric material that is easy to stretch and cannot be brushed. Instead of being clean, brushing socks can damage the fabric fibers.
To be safer, you can wash socks using a method like that of Instagram user @wildan_ggcs. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to only soaking socks with a number of kitchen ingredients to remove stains. As reported by BrilioFood on Tuesday (8/27), the kitchen ingredients in question are salt, vinegar, and baking soda.
