How to Wash Your Clothes Without Hurting Your Skin (Besides Switching Detergents)


You should be able to wash your clothes without breaking out in a Rash
Laundry can be difficult for persons with sensitive skin. All you want to do is get your clothing clean, yet something so relatively basic can be much more difficult than it appears.

Switching detergents is the first (and frequently only) piece of laundry advise provided to those with easily sensitive skin. That's fantastic if it addresses the problem. However, other people have tried innumerable detergents, including those free of colours and scents and labeled explicitly as "soft on skin," with no success.

Other laundry techniques and procedures, fortunately, may be more beneficial for folks with sensitive skin. Here are a few to think about.

Laundry advice for people with sensitive skin

If you've tried detergents designed specifically for sensitive skin and are still experiencing irritation from your laundry, here are a few other options to consider:

Giving your clothing another rinse

Even after the rinse cycle, some detergent residue may linger on the laundry, but a second rinse can eliminate this. A cold rinse will suffice, but a hot rinse is preferable (as long as it will not damage your garments).

Utilizing less detergent

Using more detergent than the recommendations call for won't make your clothes any cleaner, but it will cause a slew of other issues, including aggravating sensitive skin. So, regardless of the sort of detergent you're using, make sure you're not using too much.

Cleaning your washing machine on a regular basis

Yes, your washing machine accumulates filth (and occasionally mold) over time, and you should clean it on a regular basis. The normal rule is to do it once a month, however persons with sensitive skin should do it once a week.

Fill an empty washing machine halfway with baking soda and run a complete cycle with hot water. When finished, keep the lid open to allow the machine to air dry.

Avoiding the use of fabric softener and dryer sheets
When it comes to sensitive skin and washing, many people blame the detergent, but fabric softeners (in any form) and dryer sheets can also be offenders. The good news is that neither is required, and there are various skin-friendly options available, such as aluminum foil balls, wool dryer balls, baking soda, and vinegar.
