What is the role of socks?
1. Play the role of foot protection and beautification.
2. When the socks first appeared, they mainly played the role of foot protection, so that the feet can not be affected by the cold in winter.
3. As a spacer between feet and shoes, socks can absorb sweat and remove odors. Without this barrier, bacteria can easily grow on the feet, causing the skin to become red and itchy.
Especially in summer, people's feet are prone to sweating. Wearing shoes without socks, especially shoes with poor ventilation such as plastic sandals, travel shoes, etc. will make the skin of the feet soak in sweat directly, and the fungus will be hot and humid. It is easy to grow in the environment, and fungal infection of the feet will occur, which induces athlete's foot.
Different kinds of socks have different washing methods. Washing socks is a small matter, but it is really hard to wash than other clothes. So how to wash socks scientifically?
Ordinary cotton socks should be washed frequently and changed frequently. Soak them in clean water for about 2 hours after replacing them, and then rub them with soap and wash with hot water, so that the dirt will easily fall off.
Pure silk stockings, rayon stockings, nylon stockings, etc., should be gently rubbed in soapy water or synthetic detergent below 40°C when washing, and should not be rubbed vigorously. After washing the socks, they should be dried in the shade, not exposed to the sun and fire.
When washing woolen socks, first cut neutral soap with less alkali into soap flakes, dissolve them in hot water, and wait for the water to cool down, then put the socks in, soak them for a while, and then gently rub them with your hands.
