 Did you know that your clean laundry carries more germs than your toilet seat? You heard it right. You have clean laundry. It starts with something like dirty underwear, which can transfer 100 million equalized bacteria to the washing machine, which can easily contaminate other clothing because bacteria thrives in the water at the bottom of your machine. So what can you do? Run an empty load with bleach. And while you're at it, you can disinfect your empty hampers too. Separate your underwear from other loaves. Wash it with hot water and color safe bleach. Try hang drying your clothes outside because nothing kills germs better than the sun. And now your laundry is guaranteed to be cleaner than your toilet seat.
