Winter is the season of colds and other infections and an accessory that we love to wear when it’s cold is a real nest of germs.
The winter season is not ready to end, even if the intense cold spell that France experienced at the start of the year has ended. Winter is the season of cold, gray, snow and rain. This time is conducive to infections of all kinds and many people have colds. But these cool temperatures are the perfect opportunity to take out our favorite trendy headwear like earmuffs or chapkas which are popular in 2024. It’s also the time to wear our most beautiful coat or our most beautiful down jacket short or long or even our most beautiful coat with integrated scarf! Winter is also the season for boots and ankle boots that we love! So yes it’s cold, yes it’s raining, but this season doesn’t only have negative points.
Winter nevertheless remains the season when colds and other viruses and bacteria are most present. “While it is true that we get sick more easily in winter, it is not the colder temperatures that make us sick, even if they weaken our body which, in fact, is more vulnerable to the viral diseases that circulate in winter according to a recent American study”indicates the site Doctissimo. Not washing certain accessories can also harm you. This is the case of the scarf which is a real nest of microbes. But this also concerns gloves and mittens, useful and terribly trendy in winter. These are accessories covered in microbes, which absolutely must be washed.

Gloves and mittens, very dirty accessories in winter
If the scarf and the hat (to avoid the accumulation of sebum and bacteria) must be washed very often, this is also the case for the gloves and mittens. However, these are winter essentials. They cover the hands and protect them from the cold but they are everywhere: on the subway bar, on door handles, on the cell phone… Just like the hands, gloves are breeding grounds for bacteria and must therefore be cleaned often, that is to say at least once a week. Of course, it all depends on the material of the gloves or mittens. If you have chosen a wool accessory, be sure to check the care labels for specific instructions from the manufacturer. If you don’t have one, we recommend washing wool pieces by hand to avoid damage. Fill a container with lukewarm water and a little detergent specifically designed for this purpose. Soak the gloves for a few minutes. Rinse the gloves thoroughly in cold water to remove any soap residue and gently wring the gloves without wringing them too much. If your gloves are cashmere, the process is the same. If you have leather gloves, use a simple damp cloth to clean them.
