The hairbrush is often in contact with the bottom of the head and it is better to keep this accessory clean. We would not want to create new bacteria in the back of our head. Brush maintenance can also keep our hair clean and shiny for longer.
To wash your hair accessories thoroughly, we recommend a mild soap such as our dishwashing liquid since it is super degreasing.
In a bowl of hot water it only takes a drop to see a lot of foam. Leave to soak for a few minutes and then allow the accessories to air dry.
Period underwear is a great alternative to disposable menstrual products. Reusable, practical, and comfortable, it helps reduce everyday waste. But to maintain its effectiveness and extend its lifespan, knowing how to properly care for it is essential!
How do you eliminate odors? Which products should you use? Can you wash period underwear with the rest of your laundry? We're sharing our best tips to help you care for your period underwear, simply and effectively.
1. Rinse with Cold Water After Each Use
The first habit to adopt: rinse your period underwear with cold water after wearing it.
Why cold water? Because hot water can cause blood proteins to set into the fabric fibers. Gently rinse until the water runs clear, without rubbing excessively.
2. Choose a Gentle, Fragrance-Free Laundry Detergent
To wash your period underwear, choose a fragrance-free laundry detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can leave residue in the absorbent fibers.
Our go-to? PURE Fragrance-Free Ultra-Concentrated Laundry Detergent! Its ultra-concentrated formula dissolves more than 95% in water and provides effective cleaning. A great way to care for your period underwear while using less product.
PURE Tip: Always follow the recommended dosage. Using more detergent doesn't necessarily mean cleaner laundry!
3. Add Our Diaper and Toy Cleaner for a Deep Clean
Did you know that our Diaper and Toy Cleaner can also be a great addition to your period underwear care routine? Thanks to its ultra-concentrated peroxide-based formula, it provides an additional sanitizing and cleaning action alongside your laundry detergent. A simple addition that helps boost the cleaning of reusable fabrics without multiplying the number of products you need.
And you don't need much: just 20 ml for a large load of laundry!
4. Use Stripping Powder to Eliminate Odors
Over time, period underwear can accumulate residue and develop persistent odors. That's where our PURE Stripping Powder comes in!
Designed to help remove buildup trapped deep within fabric fibers, it provides a deep clean and helps eliminate unpleasant odors.
Our tip? Add the powder directly to your laundry load, following the recommended usage instructions and the care guidelines provided by your period underwear manufacturer.
5. Let Your Period Underwear Air Dry
Once your period underwear is clean, air drying is the best option.
The high heat of a dryer can damage certain technical fabrics, waterproof membranes, and elastic fibers.
Simply hang your underwear in a well-ventilated area and make sure it's completely dry before storing it.
Choosing reusable menstrual products is already a great way to reduce waste. By adopting good washing habits, you can extend their lifespan while maintaining their effectiveness.
It's with this mindset that we're happy to collaborate with Sublimes, a Quebec brand of period underwear. Having tried them ourselves, we can tell you: they're just as comfortable as they are practical! A great local discovery that fits naturally into a more sustainable routine.
