The 11 most fatal mistakes in the washing process. 9 surprised me even

Washing is an ordinary process. Nevertheless, it is possible to make a lot of mistakes in it, so you should not "let everything go by itself." Consider the most common mistakes.

1. Not timely cleaning of the washing machine

To clothes washed, and not soiled, the machine should also be periodically cleaned. Recommended Actions:

• rinse and dry the powder container monthly; otherwise, dirt and mold will form there;
• after each wash, wipe the door and the rubber seal, and also leave the drum open for a couple of hours to dry;
• every 2 weeks to clean the "compartment for threads";
• 1-2 times a year, you need to start washing with an empty drum and a maximum temperature, pour 500 ml of table vinegar into the powder compartment.

2. Failure to comply with the rules for laying the powder

A common mistake is to think that the more powder, the better clothes are washed. This is fundamentally wrong. Clothes are poorly rinsed and you will have to repeat the rinse mode twice, or even three times. This is an extra loss of time and money for the water spent.

3. Excessive loading

In this matter, you should not rely on the passport data of your unit, which promise to wash up to 5-6 kg of laundry at a time. Not moderate loading of the drum leads to breakdowns of the washing machine and deterioration of clothing. It is best to divide the accumulated evenly into several consecutive washes. So the machine will be serviceable, and things will be removed more efficiently.

4. A trifle in clothes

Often, a pump clogs up in washing machines, which requires mechanical cleaning. This is due to an unnoticed trifle in the pockets of clothes. In order not to miss this preparatory stage, a jar for small things with a penny inside is placed near the machine. She necessarily "catches the eye" when putting things in the drum.

5. Air conditioning

Do not use rinsing agents everywhere. The conditioner is good for bedding, as it is better ironed thanks to a component such as silicone.

Also, this tool removes static electricity, preserves the color of the fabric and gives a pleasant aroma.

But there are categorical bans on air conditioning, for example:

• silk fabrics - get stains and require re-washing;
• corrective underwear - loses its elasticity;
• towels - stop absorbing moisture.

You should also pay attention to what kind of clothes this or that conditioner is intended for (for example: for wool, colored items, etc.).

6. Incorrect sorting of clothes

You should remember some rules for sorting things:

1. It is necessary to separate the white things from the colored ones, otherwise the clothes shining with white, will get dirty color stains and will be hopelessly spoiled.
2. Do not combine fabrics of different textures, because for wool and silk - different washing modes.
3. It is better to wash the socks separately, and in order not to lose them, you can purchase an inexpensive mesh - a laundry bag.

7. Re-wash

It is recommended to put the linen after washing for repeated rinsing, and blankets, bedspreads, rugs, pillows - to wash twice. The first time - with powder, the second - just in water.

This will help to get rid of the remnants of the powder and protect against a possible allergic reaction. And the pungent smell of chemistry is not the best "companion" for a quiet sleep.

8.Washing elastic materials

Fabrics made of elastane and spandex are washed exclusively by hand in slightly warm water. Machine wash draws this material. Considering that swimwear, sweatpants and tights are sewn from it, the damaged thing cannot be restored and you will have to buy a new one.

9. Chlorination

The use of chlorine-containing drugs is unacceptable. Modern stain removers are a bit more expensive, but they can even remove old and greasy marks without damaging the fabric. Bleach thinner material.

10. Disregard for fastener

If the clothes are zipped, they should be fastened before washing, otherwise sharp teeth can damage other things. If on the shirts or dress - buttons, buttons - they should be unfastened. They are able to come off during the washing process and get lost in the drum.

11. Excessive curing

Trying to remove the stain, do not rub the fabric thoroughly, so you can make a hole. It is necessary to wet a white cotton cloth with a stain remover and lightly dab the stain, then send the item to normal washing.

Observing all the above rules, you will not spoil the "favorite" things, save a lot of money and nerves.
