However, a female netizen recently revealed that a doctor stated that underwear should not be washed with hot water. This revelation surprised many who thought hot water would be cleaner. The doctor explained that protein in secretions can solidify in the fibers of underwear when washed with hot water, making it hard to clean and potentially causing infections.
