Although you may not sweat when wearing them and the socks look clean, there are actually many bacteria that are invisible to the naked eye. If your feet are prone to sweating, you must change them every day; if your feet are not prone to sweating, you can wear them for 2 days before changing them, but it is best not to wear them for more than 3 days. People with athlete's foot and sweaty feet should change their socks more frequently, and if possible, it is best to change them every half a day. If you are after exercise, socks should also be changed in time. In addition, babies love to move and their feet are prone to sweating, so it is recommended to change your baby's socks several times a day.

Socks should be washed separately from other clothes to avoid cross infection. If there are local stains, you can use the "dry clothes pre-coating method" to remove them. When the socks are dry, apply the original liquid of hand-washing detergent to the stains, let it stand for 5 minutes, and then wash normally. This can effectively remove stains such as oil stains and mud stains.

Prepare a basin for washing socks, pour appropriate amount of clean water into the basin, soak the socks in the water, and then rub them a few times without adding any detergent, then wring them out, then squeeze out a little toothpaste and apply it on the stained parts of the socks.

How to choose socks

1. Pay attention to the etiquette of wearing socks

Except for sportswear, the sock opening should be higher than the bottom edge of the bottom clothing, and the leg skin should not be easily exposed.

2. Pay attention to the color of socks

Socks are the transition between shoes and clothes. When choosing colors, you should not only consider the colors of the upper and lower clothes, but also the colors of the shoes. The basic principle of color matching is that the color of the socks should be based on the upper clothes, and the color of the shoes should be based on the lower clothes. The color of the socks should be slightly lighter than the color of the shoes.

3. Choose socks that match your leg shape

Women who are short or have long bodies and short legs should choose socks that make their legs look longer. For example, when wearing a knee-length skirt, the role of socks is to connect the knee-length skirt and the shoes without being abrupt. Light-colored shoes go with skin-colored or white socks; dark shoes can be matched with dark gray, transparent gray, or transparent black socks; when the knee-length skirt is light-colored, regardless of the color of the shoes, they should be matched with skin-colored stockings. Tall girls should pay attention to highlighting their beautiful legs when wearing socks. In terms of color, you can boldly choose bright yellow, sky blue, and other brightly contrasting colors. But be sure to note that the colors of the whole body clothing should not exceed five, and the color of the socks should echo the color of the clothes on the body. Women with thick calves should make their legs look thinner from a visual effect when choosing socks. Dark colors generally make people look thinner. So if you have thick legs, you should avoid wearing mid-tube socks, and wear dark, straight-striped or fine-striped stockings to make your legs look thinner. Women with thin calves should make their legs look fatter from a visual effect when choosing socks. Therefore, it is suitable to match with socks of lighter or brighter colors.

4. Pay attention to the season when choosing socks

Wearing socks in winter is mainly for keeping warm, so first of all, keep the socks dry. People with sweaty feet should wear cotton and wool socks that are both breathable and moisture-absorbent. Summer socks should be comfortable. Generally speaking, the thinner, more breathable, and more moisture-absorbent the socks are, the better. Silk socks and cotton socks are the most ideal socks for summer. And it is not advisable to wear long nylon stockings for a long time in summer.
