Potassium permanganate can be used to disinfect clothing. Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent. When disinfecting with potassium permanganate, you need to disinfect your clothes by soaking them at a certain ratio, usually above 2000 ppm. Soak for more than 3-5 minutes, preferably 10 minutes, at normal room temperature. If hot water is used for soaking, the time can be shortened appropriately. There is no problem with using potassium permanganate for disinfection of clothes. In addition to potassium permanganate, other disinfectants, such as phenolic disinfectants, can also be used to disinfect clothing, such as direct heat. Content source: Dr. You Lai
