06 Jan Washing Tricks (Part 2)

To protect fabrics, you need to know various tricks. In the previous part, we explained various tricks for the softness of fluffy towels, ironing pants or shirts, loosening tight jackets, eliminating dandruff stains on clothes, rain and snow salts, having a soft towel, reducing wrinkles on clothes and drying time, stabilise the clothes colour and prevent clothes deformation. We also talked about eliminating the foul smell of denim clothes, minimising ironing time and grease stains from clothes, maintaining winter shoes, softening clothes, eliminating the foul odour of the washing machine, and washing clothes quickly. This part will deal with the rest of the washing tips and tricks. Stay tuned to learn more.

Drying swimsuit

Is your swimsuit stretched and poorly shaped? Never squeeze your swimsuit too hard. Spread it evenly between the towels so that the excess water comes out and dries gradually.

Wipe the dirt around the collar

A soap with a toothbrush and warm water can do wonders in removing dirt around the collar of your clothes. Shampoos and dishwashing liquids can remove grease quickly, especially if these stains are on the collar. Sometimes it’s necessary to apply the product directly to the stained area and wait for 15 minutes. Then wash the clothes as usual and put them in the washing machine.

Cleaning the washing machine with mouthwash

To maintain the quality of the washing machine and increase its useful life, you must disinfect it regularly. You can buy special cleaners, but you can also use regular mouthwashes. Pour half of the mouthwash into the washing machine and turn it on in the full wash mode. Therefore, this solution will eliminate fungi, mould and harmful bacteria.

Use unique bags to wash socks.

Many people have a problem with disappearing their socks in the washing machine. Buy a small bag for washing small pieces of clothing for each member of the family. Thus, you will quickly solve the problem of missing small clothes.

Don’t dry clothes too much.

It’s tough to iron clothes that are too dry. Because clothing fibres are resistant to heat pressure, even a steam iron won’t help in some cases. It’s better to iron clothes when they are somewhat damp. If your clothes are too dry, sprinkle some water on them and start ironing.

Separate clothes based on the thickness

In addition to separating clothes based on colour, separate them based on their thickness, too. Heavy fibres absorb more water than light ones. Likewise, their tendency to absorb detergent is different. So if you put clothes that have other fibres in the laundry, you will ruin clothes with thin fibres.

Aluminium foil to remove static electricity

Put a few aluminium foil balls in the washing machine to remove static electricity from clothes. These balls absorb the static electric charge on the clothes.

Clean hard stains with a hairdryer 

To get rid of old non-protein stains such as grass, soil, or fruit juice, you can heat the stain with a hairdryer and put a little detergent on it. Then put the clothes in the washing machine. Heating the stain will help the detergent to act on it more effectively.

Avoid clothes bleeding

Some clothes absorb liquids and then spill their dye and transfer it to other garments or so-called bleed. To prevent it from happening, add some detergent powder to the water, mix it,n pour it on the clothe s and let it dry.

Coffee and tea for dark clothes

Coffee and tea are natural colours that can keep the black and dark clothes completely fresh. Add some coffee or tea to the special detergent for black clothes.
