How to wash dirty underwear?

plumb_pete

I was sick and pooped a bit on my underwear (a bit of diarrhea) How do I clean this? I suppose I shouldn't put it into the washer with other underwears and wash at 30C? Most of my underwears say "30C" on them. Not sure if they'd get damaged at 40C or if 40C would be enough for cleaning

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

First, rinse with cold water. Hot water will set the stain. Poop & blood foam when you put hydrogen peroxide on them. Let it sit for a few minutes. I’ve then scrubbed with soap or detergent; I’ve rinsed first, then added the soap. RISKY : I’ve put on hydrogen peroxide & sprayed with bleach. (small quantities & Cl is heavily diluted) It gets warm & bubbles more. Best on white material.
