Almost every person in the wardrobe has knitted or woolen things. These are beautiful and practical garments, pleasant to the touch, which warm well in the cold season. However, these things are not lacking. In the process of wearing individual fibers are stretched and rolled into unattractive pellets. Of course, it is possible to remove the pellets with an adhesive tape or an ordinary shaving machine, but a special machine for pellets will help get rid of this problem quickly and effectively.
Important! Most things roll down on the inside surface of the sleeves, side seams, the top half of the shelves. A mix of acrylic and woolen fibers is rolled. The mixture of acrylic and cotton is more resistant to the formation of ugly "lumps".
Of natural materials, angora and mohair are the most problematic. However, the high-quality angora almost does not slip. The spools appear only on products made of poor-quality raw materials.
to content ↑Advantages of spooling device
The device for removing spools from clothes has the following advantages:
- Fast, safe and effective cleaning of the blade.
- There is no risk of injury to hands.
- A minimum of effort to clean up even a big thing.
Important! The cost of the device is different and is determined by such factors as:
- principle of operation;
- quality of materials;
- design features;
- is a trademark.
The choice of the device should be considered, that the machine was simple in operation and helped to solve completely a problem of disposal of spools.
to the contents ↑What are the criteria for choosing the device?
Here is a list of parameters that you need to pay attention first:
- Dimensions of the machine from the spools on clothes.
- Area of processing for 1 pass.
- Dimensions of capacity for cut fibers of fabric.
- Quality of the materials of manufacture.
- Type of power consumption.
- Package Contents.
Let's look at each of these criteria.
Dimensions
When choosing a machine in terms of dimensions, consider the amount of work performed:
- If you have to remove the pellets often and from large items, it is desirable to purchase a more massive device.
- For infrequent cleaning, a more compact device is also suitable.
Important! A small machine fits better in the hand and contributes to a significant reduction in the laboriousness of processing the product.
Power consumption
The machine for spools can work in standalone mode( on batteries) or from the network. In this case, the following should be considered:
- With a large amount of work, a device operating from the network is preferred. The downside of this acquisition is low mobility.
- For periodic work of a small volume, a battery-powered device is quite suitable.
Important! Devices that work only on batteries( Lasko, Maxwell) are more compact in size, mobile, but the cleaning efficiency is less than the machine for removing spools from the network( Mikma).
Difference in the device
A few words about the design features of the tool. The working part of the machine is a sharp rotating knife, closed for safety with a mesh. It should be paid special attention to:
- The ideal material for the fabrication of the mesh is metal, although in some models the plastic mesh has proved itself well.
- The optimal size of the cells is not too small and not too large. In small cells, the threads get stuck, and the device with large cells does not provide effective cleaning.
Important! When selecting, pay attention to the set of functions of the device. For example, there are machines with the possibility of adjusting the height of the arrangement of the knives. This allows you to work with different tissues.
The capture area
The principle of choice here is quite simple: the machine from the spools should be convenient for you, and the area of capture - the optimal.
Now about the
configuration The good models of the devices are equipped with the following parts:
- Brush for cleaning the mesh.
- The storage tank is of sufficient capacity so that you do not have to stop work and empty the tank.
- Carrying case.
- Cover - to protect the mesh from accidental mechanical damage.
- Oil for periodic lubrication of parts of the device.
Important! Pay attention to the build quality. The product should not contain any visible defects on the surface. If the device has irregularities or roughness, it is better to refrain from buying. The machine for cutting the spools from clothes that have defects can damage the fabric material.
to the contents ↑Overview of the popular brands of
devices Consider the most common devices for cleaning fabrics from pellets to understand what they can differ and what to give preference.
Knitting machine for knitwear POLARIS PLR -2022
Compact mini cleaner with a mass of only 80 grams. It feeds on two finger-type batteries. Ergonomic and convenient to use. The fabrication material is metal, equipped with a removable plastic container.
Hair Care Machine Maxwell MW-3102 W
The device quickly and efficiently removes the spools from the fabric. Powered by finger batteries. Can be used for delicate fabrics. The material for making the mesh is metal. The device is equipped with a mesh cap and a removable container of translucent material.
Machine for electric spools VES V-HT5
The device is equipped with steel blades. There is a removable waste container. Works on batteries R20.
to the contents ↑How to test the machine?
The need for testing is explained by the following reasons:
- Manufacturers do not indicate in the instructions what fabrics the device is designed for.
- During the testing it becomes clear how easy it is to work with the device, how easy it is to install batteries, how the buttons work.
For testing, it's best to use things from the following materials:
- Pure wool.
- Fleece( 100% polyester).
- Mix cotton and synthetics( 30 and 70% respectively).
It is advisable to make the device work with large pellets( more than 3 mm).
At testing it is possible to draw a conclusion, that devices with greater weight more effectively clear fabrics.
Important! The general lack of devices is an inconvenience when removing the storage container.
to the table of contents ↑How to use the device?
Externally, the device can be hemispherical or have an elongated handle. According to the principle of work and appearance, it resembles an electric razor. The grid grasps the spools, and the rotating knife cuts the threads sticking out of the cloth. The machine is extremely simple to use. If you want to clean the surface of the fabric from spools, the action algorithm is as follows:
- Inspect the device carefully. Check the cleanliness of the mesh, the storage tank, the charge of the batteries.
- Place the product on a flat, solid surface. If you are using a network-powered device, consider that the outlet is within reach.
- Turn on the device. Consistently, in stripes, treat the fabric over the entire surface.
- With insufficient processing efficiency, adjust the position of the blades.
- If there are many pellets, periodically clean the container of waste.
- At the end of work, empty the container, clean the blades and the mesh of the appliance.
- Grease the blades with oil.
Before use, be sure to check the operation of the spooling machine on a small piece of cloth. This is necessary to determine the optimum force of pressure on the fabric. If the pressure force on the fabric is too large, you can accidentally cut through the fabric.
Important! Do not forget that from too frequent "shaving" the product can become bald and become unusable to wear. Therefore, you do not need to use the device too often.
to the table of contents ↑Tips to the fans of spools
Do you remember the famous book of G. Oster "Harmful advice"?We will try to follow in the footsteps of a talented writer and give some advice to those who simply love pellets on clothes. Those who are used to looking neat, you need to do the exact opposite:
- Buy clothes from cheap synthetics and acrylic. The main thing is that the color should be liked, and the quality - again.
- Wash jersey with other, less delicate things. Special washing regimes for delicate things and knitwear - it's not about us.
- Feel free to wash knitwear at maximum temperature. However, no. The blouse will have to be thrown away immediately, it's impossible to show off in the pellets.
- Do not use special liquid detergents. Severe washing powder - that's enough!
- When loading clothes into the washing machine, turn on the spinning to full capacity. In fact, why did they come up with this regime? Why not use it?
- Dry knitted things spread out on a horizontal surface - even more! And the great-grandmother's wooden clothespins for what?
Follow these tips, and the "gorgeous" trunks on clothes will not keep you waiting. And if you drop the irony, try not to do it that way, because it's actually so easy to organize the proper care of clothes.
