There are various types of stains on clothing, and washing methods vary depending on the type of clothing.
In order to do laundry effectively, it is very important to first know where and what kind of dirt tends to get on your clothes.
Let's learn about the types and characteristics of stains on different clothes!
Dirt on clothing can be divided into ``dirt that comes from the body'' and ``dirt that comes from outside.''Here, we will introduce the areas where clothes tend to get dirty and how to wash them.
T-shirts/Y-shirts
Sebum stains on collar and sleeves
Sebum stains adhere to the fabric due to sweat and friction with the skin.
As sebum dirt oxidizes over time, it becomes yellowish, and when dust and other substances adhere to it, darkening occurs.
Sebum stains, especially protein stains, are difficult to decompose and tend to remain on clothing, so they cannot be removed by regular washing alone.
Make-up stains around the neck
This is where makeup products such as foundation, lipstick, and sunscreen can easily get stuck.
Because it is an oil-based stain, it cannot be removed simply by running it in the washing machine.
pants
Sebum stains around pockets
Pockets that are touched every time you put them in and take them out are a place where sebum and protein stains can easily get trapped in the fibers.Dust/mud stains on knees

Food spills, mud stains, blood stains
When it comes to children's clothes, there are few stains from body secretions such as sebum, but stains from the outside such as spilled food and mud tend to accumulate, as well as blood stains such as nosebleeds and protein stains that are difficult to remove, such as poop and urine.

Sebum stains around the neckline and underarms
Since it comes into direct contact with the skin, sebum, protein, sweat, etc. will adhere to it.The neckline and armpits that rub against your skin are especially dirty.
In addition, since polyester thread is often used in thread seams, which tend to get dirtier than cotton threads, this is a place where dirt can easily accumulate.
socks
Sebum stains such as dead skin and sweat
Even within the body, the heels secrete a lot of sebum and other substances, making it easy for bacteria to grow using proteins such as dead skin cells as a nutritional source.The reason why socks become smelly when you wear them for a long time is due to the growth of bacteria.
mud/sand stains
Mud and sand are fine particles and are insoluble stains that cannot be removed with detergent or water.Every time you put your weight on it, the particles get stuck deep into the fibers, so you can't remove them just by running them in the washing machine.
