Sanitising Underwear

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

That is so true.

I remember putting in my time in my airlines Asian division. Flying from the U.S. to various Asian cities. I once worked a flight where people came on board carrying whole fish not even wrapped, just stuck under their seats. Imagine how THAT smelled after 13 hours flying time!

One flight by the time we got to Detroit most of the people on the plane were hacking and coughing like mad. And sometime the flight would weight restricted because of all the asian goodies the people were bringing with them to families in the USA.

Back in the 80's the way most airlines felt was "Let customs deal with them. We are not doctors and we cannot judge who or who is not healthy enough for entry into the USA."
 
This should keep the thread moving for a little longer.

I aggree with Mark_wpdute. I use white towels and white undies. Back in the days when I was dating I developed a leeriness of dates/tricks that wore colored underwear. It always seemed that they would be the ones to leave unwanted house guest behind. If you know what I mean. Because I wore white, I could tell the next day that I had the unwanted guest and would treat appropriately. This is because they would leave little specks that almost looked like pepper in the white underwear. You can make all the remarks you want about the quality of the men, but it happened from the board room to the bar fly. So I like to think this kept me from passing them on, and you can bet I would let the date know ASAP.

<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I usually bleach the towels every time. undies maybe once or twice a year just to whiten if needed.

My parents taught me personal hygiene. TMI? LOL

Discuss amongest  yourselves.            

 
 
never enough TMI.......

you have to wonder with some guys, and I know some guys may get into this, and very small group in fact, but WHO wants to get "busy" with a guy who doesn't wash their privates and their ASS regularly, several times a day if you have to, and especially if your going on a date, or expecting to play.....

musky scent of a man is one thing, especially freshly showered, deodorant, or a nice cologne....FUNK is another!....at that point, don't come even near me, not to mention get undressed.....

for you guys who don't wash, how many have repeat performers?...if any action at all!

I tend to like colors of underwear, and different styles as well, for adventure and fantasy, to spice things up a bit....tighty whites are fun too......never found any critters though....

even my handcuffs make a run thru the dishwasher!

to each his own....but you can bet I am in that shower, especially now that its Summer, at least 4 times a day, you can join me if you want!.....but if it's not your normal routine.....I don't know what to tell you.....except stay away.....and this is even during any social event!

JeeZ!....even for a doctors appt, my undies, Tshirt, and socks match, I brush and floss, if I feel gutsy, Cherry flavored ChapStick, clipped nails, shaved face and balls, showered, douched, and a Perrier enema, powdered, perfumed....and that Dentist has the nerve to put on rubber gloves!......actually I would like to see him in his undies, he's cute!....thats why when he goes for the drill, I grab his belt buckle...We're not going to hurt each other, are we?
 
well let's see......removal of said stains!

many machines have a stain chart, suggestions, special care cycles....or as in my case of the Neptune "StainBrain".......

any of your guys have this on your machine?

IS there a cycle clean option, or special cycle for "cleaning the crap out of your undies?".....I checked....nope, nothing, nada.....how about you guys?

I even check from many manuals that came with machines for stain removal helpful hints!.....and this one is not there.....we should write letters!

would that fall under a protein stain, mud, grass, sweat?

a talk show for AWO would be a great thing.....first up, helpful hints on removing stains, next up, what to do with the darn ole holiday leftovers!.....and a follow up on love in the rinse cycle!...stay tuned!
 
I had no idea A.W. was so anal...

 

 

<span style="font-size: large;">C'mon guys, wash your ass, wash your underwear and move on. SHEESH!</span>

Oooh, glad to be on the tail end of this! And, yeh, I'm instilling good hygiene habits in the kids, too...

A good spraying usually gets rid of the castles & yellow stains... (Sorry, I'll stop there...)

Behold the Power of the Skid Mark:

If there was ever any doubt about how disgusting a bacon stripe can be when it's not on bacon, take a look at this product - the Westminster Security Brief.

It's a pair of briefs with a pouch that's hidden, and a fake skid mark that is very much not hidden. The idea is, you tuck your household cash or your Rolex into the pouch, toss the briefs into the hamper, and live free from worry that a burglar is going to investigate any further than the stain.

Here's a link, should you happen to think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread:

 
Some Folks Likes To Make Busywork For Themselves

If one is doing a load of wash say of bed linens and there isn't enough to fill the Miele, then yes will grab whatever else is in the hamper (undies, T-shirts, etc..) to make a full load. Since all our bed linens are whites and or colourfast pastels wash temp is going to be 120F to 140F anyway. This plus a decent dosage of activated oxygen bleach with a good detergent is all one feels is required. And no, am not worried about myself nor the household coming down with Unga-Bunga disease or anything else. Aside from the washing the heat of the dryer (garments) and ironer (linens) is all.

Front loading washing machines are at their most efficient in terms of energy, water and product use when fully loaded. To separate out loads based upon this or that to do many smaller washes is just silly IMHO. But again if you are the sort of guy or gal that likes busywork, knock yourself out.

Washing full loads on "Normal" cycles is actually better for most front loaders as the machine has an easier time of balancing. Small loads can and often do lead to unbalance issues which can and often do cause wear on the machine.

One sometimes thinks persons have gotten ahead of themselves just because mod cons are so frequent now along with the water and power to use. If persons had to pump or haul water, heat it on fires, use vast amounts of physical labor to wash and mangle the laundry, then hang it to dry and finally iron/fold and put away you'd see allot different ideas towards sorting and or even wearing clothing.

Off topic tidbit: Historically one of the reasons mothers/housewives gave bedwetting children such a hard time was that it took several days to wash, dry and iron linens by hand or even with a semi-automatic washer. Imagine you had done all that work planning on leaving those sheets on the bed for at least a week (yes, that was normal, sometimes longer, only those with big money changed linens everyday), and bam, on the first night the linens are soaked with urine. So now you are presented with an issue. Change the soiled sheets and create more laundry, or simply "air them out" and put back on the bed. *LOL*[this post was last edited: 7/21/2013-21:08]
 
First: Yay! The Little Thread That Could is back!

Second: I love hanging bed linens on the line to dry. The resulting scent cannot be reproduced despite attempts by any number of multinationals. Bird droppings have foiled my plans two weeks running, resulting in double laundering, a trip through the dryer, and plenty of creative swearing on my part.

Third: Have always been fond of the phrase 'all mod cons' found in British 'For Rent' ads. It is also my favorite album by The Jam.

Agreed that front loaders like to be loosely filled... but the stuff being washed might not like it. Full loads are find for stuff that isn't wash and wear, like towels and undies, but for perm press stuff even Miele recommends 1/2 loads. For delicates, even lighter loads. And of course one doesn't want to wash one's fine lace with pot holders.

But I don't have a problem washing at temps over 150F stuff together like undies and towels. There's more bacteria just floating around in the air of the average home than one would get remaining on a laundered and mechanically dried garment or towel. No, the wash won't be sterile but then precious little in the average home is. For real sterility one would have to pressure cook the laundry at 15 lbs for at least 20 minutes (so the temp reaches over 240F). That's normally only required for towels and instruments that are going to be used for surgery or sterile lab work. Not needed for the normal home.

The first generation GE Harmony might be worth a look.
