How to wash terry towels?

A towel is an item that people use every day and more than once. Accordingly, they quickly get dirty. So that frequent washing of terry towels does not become a big problem, you must follow some rules.

The appearance of terry products over time should not be any different from the original. You should not write off everything for a long service life - you need to properly care for such things. In fact, there are several reasons why a towel may be hardened:

• non-compliance with the temperature regime - hot water, over-drying;
• ironing without steam and hot iron;
• rough spin;
• unsuitable washing and rinsing agent;
• increased water hardness.

Instead of soda, you can use vinegar (only 9%). Such means, in addition to changing the composition of water, will enhance the effect of the powder. Hard villi are not only unpleasant to the touch, they can cause irritation of sensitive skin.

If the towel has become more like sandpaper, do not rush to get upset and throw it away. There are two ways to restore the former softness:

• Prepare a special solution - 100 grams of salt and 3 tablespoons of ammonia in 10 liters of water. Pour them the product and leave for three hours. Then wash as usual.
• Try a long soak (up to 12 hours).

Not all washing powders are completely dissolved in water, especially in a typewriter where you cannot control this process. They remain inside the product, and its surface becomes firmer. In addition, residues of the powder may cause allergic reactions. To avoid this, you should pay attention to the liquid alternatives. In the market of household chemicals, there are many time-tested manufacturers and novices.

Of course, preference should be given first, since they have more opportunities to control their products, create new effective formulas, and conduct tests. The most famous are trademarks. Procter & Gamble, Henkel, Neva Cosmetics. All of them produce not only solid, but also gel-like agents. Among them, according to customer reviews, are popular:

• Ariel;
• Tide;
• "Weasel";
• Dreft;
• Perwoll;
• "Myth";
• Frosh;
• Amway.

All things used by children must undergo a special treatment. Household chemicals should be as natural, hypoallergenic, environmentally friendly. The brands representing such products are: “Our Mother”, “Eared Nannies”, “Umka”, Cotico, Burti, Meine liebe, Sodasan, Sonett, Klar, AQA Baby.

For rinsing in order to give the linen softness, preserve the shape and create a dirt-repellent effect, air conditioners are used. Their composition should ideally consist of surfactants, silicones and fragrances. Silicones prevent the formation of pellets, retain brightness, softness, volume.

The aroma should be as natural as possible, with an unobtrusive smell. In demand: Vernel, Lenor, E, “Eared Nannies”, Frosch, Help. Do I need baby rinse and how safe it is - a controversial issue.

If there is a fear of allergies, you can use a home remedy. To do this, mix 500 ml of boiling water with 200 g of soda and the same amount of vinegar.The mixture will fizz and foam, so the bottle should be of a larger volume. It is necessary to add 10 ml for each 1 kg of linen.

All information about washing, as a rule, is on the label or label of the product. If you follow it, the product will not lose its properties and will last a long time. Before washing it is necessary to shake off the item and remove all stains.

You can wash everything by hand. The only caveat that must be taken into account is that the wash basin should be large, since the mahr absorbs a lot of water. However, it is good absorption and is its main advantage.

The sequence of actions with this method should be as follows:

• Fill the tank with water. It should not be hot for hands (approximately 40 degrees).
• If the water is hard - soften it with soda and dissolve the detergent. The required quantity is usually indicated on the package.
• In case of heavy pollution, it is necessary to soak for two to three hours.
• Directly in the wash does not need to strongly compress the fabric.
• Rinse need to gently, changing the water until you are sure that it remains transparent. If required, pre-dissolve balm in the pelvis.
• Carefully squeeze, shake, straighten - now you can hang.

Machine wash saves time and effort. In this case, you must observe the following rules:

• Do not fill the drum too tightly, even if the permissible weight is not exceeded. Better if your hand fits between the laundry and the top edge.
• You can not throw things in one lump, they must be laid evenly.
• In order not to wrinkle the pile, you should use special balls or other devices.
• Spin at high speed can cause things to stretch, and the structure of the fibers is broken.

The algorithm of action is as follows:

• Load the laundry using the tips above.
• Pour the detergent, soak and rinse in the appropriate compartments. To do this, use the measuring cup.
• Choose a mode that matches the material, or gentle (delicate). The temperature should not exceed 40 degrees, and the number of revolutions - 400. In modern models of washing machines there are modes that allow reducing the volume of water consumed. So, here such a program cannot be chosen.
• After completion, select an additional rinse, this will get rid of the remaining powder finally.
• Hang the straightened product on a rope or dryer. It is advisable to abandon the use of clothespins, they can leave traces.

If there are stains on the towel, do not rely on the action of the detergent. It is better to spend some time and display them in advance. The main thing is to do it as early as possible. After all, the old dried spots (and especially those left after washing) will be much more difficult to remove.

In any case, white products should be washed separately from dark or multi-colored ones. Otherwise, as a result, you can get a divorce or complete staining in a different shade. Many people find such things in everyday life impractical and refuse to use them. They get dirty like all the other towels. But look much more advantageous.

This color is universal and aesthetically pleasing, as an additional symbol of purity.Not without reason in hotels, hotels, restaurants only white textiles are used.

If the towel has ceased to be snow-white, a gray shade or yellowness has appeared, bleachers will come to the rescue. On sale there are many species, of which the most suitable are oxygen-containing. If chlorine and other aggressive substances are present in the bleaching product, it should be discarded to avoid damage to the fabric. Auxiliary particles, designed not to remove the stain, but to disguise it (due to their reflective effect) are poorly rinsed out of the pile.

There are several ways for safety-conscious housewives to get rid of pollution by traditional methods:

• For 5 liters of water you will need 25 ml of ammonia, 100 ml of salt and the same amount of hydrogen peroxide.
• Salt, 2 tablespoons of starch and 1 spoon of citric acid without a hill combined with a warm aqueous solution of soap.
• Weak solution of potassium permanganate.

Colored terry clothes also need special care. After purchase, each product requires a color loss test. To do this, the first time they should be washed manually with added salt.

It sometimes happens that after washing the color was still saturated, and the water was colored - this indicates an excess of dye. For allergy sufferers, this is the reason to stop using them. If the color of the product itself has faded, refreshing it will help. vinegar. He will get rid of the unpleasant smell.

Especially dirty areas can be treated with a stain remover specially designed for colored laundry, or one of home remedies:

• Tea and coffee are removed with a mixture of 1 part ammonia and 4 parts glycerin.
• Wet traces of fruits and vegetables covered with citric acid.
• Fat is perfectly washed off with dishwashing detergent.
• Mustard, diluted to the consistency of liquid porridge, is applied to the wiped spots and traces of stains after washing.

The products are applied topically with a clean white cloth. You should not intensively rub the same place, so you can pull out the loops. It is better to leave the agent on the fabric for a while, and then gently rinse, making movements in one direction.

We recommend to follow the following recommendations:

• Terry towels are washed separately from bed linen and articles of clothing (socks, jackets, underwear). This is, firstly, due to the fact that they require different modes of washing. Secondly, the mahra absorbs a lot of water, therefore, everything else does not extend well. Thirdly, the clothes may be metal or plastic fasteners or buttons that can damage the appearance of the product.
• They should never be thrown wet to prevent mold or other bacteria. After use, the towels are dried and cleaned in the laundry basket.
• Dry these things upright. If this happens on the street, it is better to place them in the shade. Follow the process to avoid drying out. It is necessary to iron them with steam. The surface of the iron should not be hot.

• The main condition for all procedures performed is compliance with the temperature regime. Even kitchen and dish towels can not be boiled. Contaminated areas are treated separately by special means. After all, only soft towels absorb water well and are pleasant not only to the touch, but also visually.
• You can store towels by folding or rolling them into rolls. No need to fill the shelf from top to bottom, so that the pile is not wrinkled.
