While it is quite common to wear an item of clothing several times before putting it in the wash, for certain types of clothing this is not recommended! And yes, even after a single use, doctors recommend washing them without further delay, we tell you everything!
Have you ever heard of chair syndrome? No ? However, we have all been there without exception! Have you ever put clothes on the back of a chair arguing that they are too dirty to put in the closet and too clean to put in the washing machine? This is chair syndrome! However, despite the recommendations for washing certain garments requiring less regular maintenance, others must be washed upon first use.
Indeed, according to some experts, one type of clothing should definitely not be put back on even after a single use: sports clothing. If it makes sense to you because you don’t want to wear something you’ve been sweating in, it might happen. Indeed, a session that is calmer than another, or a piece of clothing that is left to dry in the sun without washing it, because we have to postpone it the next day, can be reasons why we agree to postpone sports clothing. However, this is clearly not the best of your ideas!

It is a dermatologist working at the Memorial Sloan Kattering Cancer Hospital in New York, Anthony Rossi, who explains to the CNN why it is not advisable to wear sports clothing several times without it going through the washing machine. According to his explanations, the garment sucks in perspiration and therefore it creates humidity, creating an environment favorable to the development of bacteria.

He explains : “Your clothes may come into contact with bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA can cause dangerous infections commonly found in hospitals.» If you think that a trip to the dryer can solve the problem, think again, the specialist says: “The heat will cause bacteria to grow. It’s not hot enough to sterilize them. It’s really washing with soap and hot water that is necessary. This will help loosen dirt and oil and really eliminate bacteria.» So, we don’t procrastinate anymore and the sports clothes go in the washing machine as soon as we take them off!
