Q: Do you know why Chinese wash their delicates seperately ?
I have so far thought "ancient tradition", but in fact it is because of more modern times very dirty environment. That people want to avoid getting the dirt from the outer clothing onto the underwear.

Maybe Victoria will enlighten us about this. She's has some strong ideas about washing underwear, especially washing someone else's undies.
Yeah I had a girlfriend tell me that once, she was horrified that I throw everything in the washing machine together.
I told her that no harmful bacteria from outside could possibly survive one of my farts though and she couldn't argue with that obvious logic.

Mrs iWolf reports that this is done because they are in fact delicate. Mostly her bras are hand washed but she mentioned her mother would spit chips if she knew her knickers were in with the normal load. Did mao-era china have knickers? She can't answer that one.
because they think they're too dirty for the washing machine
I will wash my socks separate since you can get them cleaner using hot water and bleach. Everything else just goes together though.
This is all bs. How many Chinese people have you talked with to get to this conclusion?
On the other hand. Who do you trust to get skidmarks off your undies, handwashing women or a washing machine ?
