With the increasing nip in the air, it is time to take out your favorite coats, jumpers and jackets. What it also means is that laundry cycles will lessen in frequency as most winter wear cannot be washed as regularly as you would like. Plus, they aren’t so easy to wash and often take additional time to dry. These are expensive and one doesn’t want to ruin them by washing them too often. Not being able to wash something can lead to a germ build up in our loved winter wear.
According to Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona, the fact that winter clothes are not washed frequently can cause bacteria and germs to build up, making you sick. Add to it, the viruses that are rampant in this season; your winter wear can act as a fomite and transfer germs, triggering the spread of infectious diseases. Especially with scarves and stoles, which are closer to your face and mouth, droplets with viruses stick around in your clothing and cause a risk of further infections.
