And yet, stains happen. Smells accumulate on things we wear. I cycle to work every day, shouldn't I wash my tshirts? Ask my coworkers!
The solution would be to stick to cotton, denim, wool, and limit synthetic fibers. I cannot handwash everything.
- yummybear 7y agoProponents claim sticking them in the freezer kills the germs. I’m not sure I’m convinced - I’d love to see some research om the topic.
- gowld 7y agoIt doesn't work on food why would it work on clothes? Slow maybe, but not kill.
- sudhirj 7y agoI don't think the bacteria are eating the clothes, they're probably eating your sweat and shed skin. Leave them at it for a few days and they should naturally starve.
- Double_a_92 7y agoJust leaving them in an airy place already works. I once forgot my sweaty (school) sport clothes in my bag over holidays... When I noticed it after a few weeks they didn't smell of anything anymore.
- entee 7y agoDoesn’t kill everything. Puts bugs in stasis, drops evaporation of smelly compounds. Smells will return as bacteria recovers outside the freezer.
- em-bee 7y agoexactly, if you really care about plastic in our environment, then don't get synthetic clothes. i live in a hot environment. i change shirts up to 3x a day. no way i am not going to wash those. the only item i never washed is a pair of leather pants. and also coats and jackets get washed rarely. and as for handwashing, i'd rather spend my time with more meaningful activities.
