Methods for checking fabric for color strength

Bright color is not an obligatory sign of the tendency of matter to molt. To find out if things need specific care, you need to do some simple experiments:

1. We wet a small area of ​​fabric on the product with water, apply a sheet of white paper to it and iron the prototype through it. If colored spots appear on paper, the material is prone to molting and fading.
2. We take a tissue sample (cut off at the seam or use an additional flap) and soak it in ammonia for 10 minutes. Rinse, dry and apply to the product. If the clothes are obviously brighter than the experimental item, then the fabric sheds.
3. We pour warm water into the basin, in it we dilute a little washing powder until it is completely dissolved (without bleaching or intense components). Soak in the composition of the thing of interest and leave no more than 10 minutes. We get the object, without rinsing, wrap it in a section of white matter and squeeze it well with pressing movements. If the color has switched to a white background, in the future you will have to adhere to certain rules.

Rules for washing molted items

Before washing shedding things, according to the recommendations on the label, it is necessary to take into account a few more important points:

• Washing should begin with sorting clothes. Black products are separate, the remaining colors are also best packaged in a palette, or at least limited to separation of warm and cold colors.
• As detergents, only special preparations that preserve and fix color are permissible. Preference should be given to gels.
• The treatment mode is set depending on the type of fabric, the temperature should not exceed 30-40ºС.

• When hand washing, first you need to do a washing solution, achieving complete dissolution of the detergent, only then soaking the product is allowed.
• Soap and soda are not used for manual processing! They will almost certainly change the original shade of the thing.
• The use of bleaches and stain removers is prohibited. Pollution is recommended to remove folk remedies, such as vinegar, ammonia and lemon juice.
• To fix the color of things, you can rinse in a weak solution of vinegar prepared from cold water. The maximum effect will be achieved if you do this after each wash.
