As a doctor, I often meet a lot of professionals who have time to do daily chores such as laundry at night because they are busy with work during the day. But you know what?
Washing clothes at night seems to solve the contradiction of time, but it may actually bring a lot of hidden dangers to your health.
First of all, doing laundry at night can affect the quality of your sleep.
Many people may not realize that the sound of washing machines is running, and although washing machines are relatively quiet nowadays, in the dead of night, any small sound can be a factor that interferes with your deep sleep.
Studies have shown that a good sleeping environment should be quiet, and any constant noise can interrupt the sleep cycle, leading to fatigue and difficulty concentrating the next day.

Especially in autumn and winter, when the temperature is low at night, clothes are not easy to dry, and wet clothes are stacked overnight, which will make the indoor humidity rise.
Such an environment is a breeding ground for mold and bacteria to grow, and for people with asthma or allergic rhinitis, it can worsen their symptoms.
As we all know, the evening is the peak period of electricity consumption, and high-power appliances such as washing machines are used at this time.
Not only does it increase the power load, but it can also cause safety accidents due to aging circuits or inadequate protection measures.
In the long run, frequent use of washing machines during peak electricity consumption may also affect the service life of your appliances, making your appliances "retire" earlier.
Washing clothes at night may seem like a great way to solve the time conflict, but in reality its health effects are manifold.
From disturbing your golden sleep, to potential respiratory health risks, to electricity safety, these are all important aspects we need to consider when managing our daily lives.
Let's talk about how to do laundry healthier. There are a lot of small things in this, which you may not usually pay much attention to, but they have a really big impact on our health.
Usually, people choose to wash when they have time, and this is normal. However, you may not know that choosing when to do laundry can actually help us reduce the adverse effects on our body.
For example, choosing to do laundry after dinner and before going to bed may seem like taking advantage of your free time, but in fact, this is when the body begins to enter rest mode, and the body's systems begin to slow down, and the noise and housework at this time may disrupt your biological clock.
On the contrary, if we choose to wash our clothes in the morning or afternoon when the sun is full, not only can we dry our clothes better, but we can also avoid moisture and mold problems at night, which is good for the body and the environment.
Many people only mechanically choose room temperature water for washing clothes, but in fact, it is necessary to adjust the water temperature according to the season and the different clothes.
In winter, washing clothes with slightly warm water not only removes grease and stains better, but also reduces the stiffness of clothes after washing in cold water, so that the washed clothes are softer and more comfortable to wear.
In summer, washing clothes with room temperature water or slightly cool water can avoid excessive chemical reaction speed, protect clothes from high temperature, and save energy consumed by hot water, which is environmentally friendly and healthy.
Many people may ignore this, but the hygiene of the washing machine is directly related to the cleanliness of the washed clothes. Detergent residues, limescale, and bacteria that accumulate inside the washing machine over time can make the laundry less fresh.
It's not just for clothes, it's for the health of our skin, to prevent skin problems caused by residual pollution.
Many people find a random place to dry their clothes after washing, but in fact, the location of drying clothes will affect the hygiene and service life of clothes.
Avoid drying clothes in damp and poorly ventilated places, as it will not dry easily, and it is easy to breed mold, which is not good for the skin and respiratory system in the long run.
The sun's ultraviolet rays not only help kill bacteria, but also naturally remove moisture and odors from clothing, keeping clothes fresh and comfortable.
Through these methods, we can not only wash cleaner clothes, but also achieve real health care in our daily lives. Hopefully, these tips will help you and help you balance health and convenience in your busy life.
Choosing the right detergent is not only about making clothes cleaner, but more importantly about ensuring that our health is not negatively affected by chemicals.
There are many laundry products on the market, but not all laundry detergents or detergents are suitable for every household. Many laundry detergents and detergents contain phosphates, bleach, and certain fragrances that can cause skin irritation.
Although phosphate can enhance the cleaning effect, it has a great impact on the environment, and long-term use of phosphorus-based laundry detergents can also cause a burden on the ecology of the waters, which in turn affects our health.
In addition, laundry detergents containing strong bleach have strong washing power, but for people with sensitive skin, they may cause skin conditions such as dermatitis, itching, etc.
Let's talk about the choice of eco-friendly laundry detergent. With the increase in environmental awareness, more and more laundry products are beginning to emphasize their eco-friendly characteristics. Choosing these products not only helps to reduce environmental pollution, but also indirectly protects our health.
Eco-friendly laundry detergents often use biodegradable ingredients, which can significantly reduce chemical residues.
If these residues are not completely removed, they can accumulate in clothing over time and can gradually affect skin health, especially for those who have been exposed to essential work garments such as healthcare workers' uniforms for long periods of time.
Finally, we should also learn how to use laundry detergent and laundry detergent properly. It is not uncommon for people to use excessive amounts of laundry detergent or detergent in order to make their clothes cleaner.
This overuse not only results in waste, but can also increase the risk of skin irritation due to detergent residues. In addition, regular cleaning of the detergent box of the washing machine is also an important measure to ensure good laundry results and reduce chemical residues.
Through the above explanation, I hope to help you pay more attention to health and environmental factors when choosing laundry detergent and laundry detergent, rather than just pursuing the cleaning effect.
In this way, we can not only wash clean clothes, but also wash out a healthy and harmonious living environment.
