Almost every woman knows what washing is, but not all this kind of housekeeping is loved. Of course, you can turn to laundry help, and do not waste time again. But every hostess wants that things have been washed off qualitatively and have not lost their appearance. After all, washing is a delicate matter and requires the owners to know some secrets. If you adhere to simple rules and tricks, then with this business any mistress will cope perfectly well!
Getting rid of stains.
Do not rush to start washing. First, you need to carefully review all things to check for any stains. Before washing, the stains should be removed. The spots can be different, but removing them is not a problem. If you suddenly find a chocolate spot on a beautiful silk dress and woolen jacket, you will be helped with a warm solution of ammonia. From the grassy spots you can get rid of with diluted in warm water ammonia in the proportion of 3: 2: 1. Stains from the marker can be removed with the help of denatured alcohol. To do this, you need to put a piece of tissue on the back of the stain, take a swab, get wet in alcohol and wipe the stain itself. A couple of drops will be enough to remove. A solution of ammonia will help remove fresh spots of sweat, and white vinegar will cope with the old ones. If you want to remove stains from coffee, tea, you need to soak thing in warm water and rub the spot yourself with soap. After that, hold the clothes for a while in the water, and then wash.
Preparing clothes for washing.
In addition to stains, pay attention to damage to clothing. If torn seams are present, it is better to sew them before washing, so that they do not disperse even more.
Dirty linen should be stored in a well-ventilated area, so that an unpleasant smell and mold does not appear. Well check the contents of the pockets and pull out all that is superfluous. Pillowcases and duvet covers are best turned inside out and dust from the corners. Woolen things, if they are torn, mend. To make the buttonholes not stretch from the wash, they need to be sewn over the edge with a seam. A skirt with folds can be swept with large stitches. So it will lessen when washing.
All things before the beginning of washing must be sorted by the type of fabric and color. Especially pay attention to color things, with unstable paint. These things should be washed separately so that they do not paint the rest. Do not wash velvet and plush products, as well as those that have a shine of natural silk. These things are subject only to cleaning. Thin knitwear is better not to wash in the typewriter. It is washed either on hands or dry-cleaned.
Powders and other means for cleaning clothes should be selected strictly in accordance with the purpose. There are special powders for certain types of tissue. There are powders for the machine automatic or for hand washing. It is not necessary to use hand tools for linen and cotton things for hand washing. Such products contain substances that are bad for the skin, cause irritation. All this is worth considering when choosing. Mixing powders of different composition and species is also not worth it. This can damage the clothes.
Check the remedy before starting use for an allergic reaction. You should choose a detergent that does not cause you allergies. Before further processing of clothing with soap, you must remove any synthetic residues.
We load the laundry correctly.
After the clothes are selected and prepared for washing, it must be properly loaded into the washing machine. For this, it is desirable to know at least the approximate weight of your laundry, since each washing machine is designed for a certain amount of loading. Study the instructions that came with your machine, which usually describes such things. Strongly soiled laundry is best to soak in a special solution. Washing detergent for soaking is needed less than for washing, once every two. The temperature of the water for soaked laundry should not be above 40 degrees, otherwise it will be more difficult to remove the contamination.
Load laundry in the machine correctly, so that when it is washed it does not intertwine, it does not fold. This can lead to overload of the drum and breakage. Duvet covers and pillowcases are best sewn in the area of the hole, so that the laundry is not stuffed inside when washing. If the machine starts to emit vibrational sounds during the spinning of the laundry, it means that it does not cope with the load. In this case, it is necessary to reduce the amount of laundry for spinning. A large amount of detergent powder is also harmful, both for the machine itself and for the laundry to be washed. This leads to a gradual wear of the machine parts. Do not use bleach to wash the machine. The speed of spin depends directly on the quality of drying clothes, how smooth and soft it becomes. But it should be kept in mind that with too frequent and rapid revs, the centrifuge wears out more quickly and breaks down. It is enough for good spin of 800 centrifuges.
It is very important, before washing, to fasten all the locks and zippers, the buttons on the clothes and turn it inside out. Torn off buttons during washing, lightning can severely damage the machine.
Rinse the laundry after washing.
When hand rinsing, consider that the number of rinses can be reduced, each time, squeezing the laundry well. Do not unscrew the clothes from silk and synthetic fabrics. This kind of laundry is better simply to squeeze out. Linen and cotton products are best rinsed in three steps: first, in hot water, to remove all the detergent residues, then rinse in warm water, and the subsequent times - in the cold. Things made of wool need to be rinsed in warm water, no higher than 40 degrees with the use of a solution of ammonia. Woolen things, like silk, it is better not to twist, but easy to squeeze.
There is another secret for drying clothes: if you dry things on the street in the winter season, during the last rinse, add a handful of table salt to the water. This will save your things from freezing.
