In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to the following factors:

1. The product must be turned inside out.
2. Conventional powders are not suitable here, it is best to use profile synthetic fluids. They dissolve very well in water and do not settle on the fibers after rinsing.
3. Running products in the washing machine is possible only if the device has a mode of "wool".Before you start to wash your favorite thing, it is recommended to try the mode on something unnecessary.
4. Do not neglect the special conditioner for woolen fabric. It will preserve the brightness and purity of the color, the softness of the fabric.

Tip: If no profile means is at hand, you can add a little vinegar to the wash water, it has the same properties. In this case, the amount of alkali should be limited, it compacts the fibers. For this reason, soap is not used during washing.

1. White things should be washed separately, even if it is known that the rest of the products do not shed. If dark hairs are attached to the white jacket, it will be almost impossible to restore it.
2. Pre-soak the wool is not necessary. It is necessary to wash and rinse products at the same comfortable temperature.

These are just the basic rules for how to wash woolen things. I'll have to get acquainted with an impressive list of nuances in order to properly care for the products.

Features of washing and drying woolen products

Basically, even modern housewives prefer to wash things out of wool by hand. The procedure is carried out at a water temperature of no higher than 33-35 ° C.It is important to remember that the material absorbs water very actively, therefore, there must be a lot of liquid. In such cool water, getting rid of dirt is not easy, so we use the air conditioner and make sure that it thoroughly penetrates not only the problem areas, but the entire product.

Choosing an effective home remedy, you need to remember that:

• Chlorine bleaches can corrode fibers, leading to material damage.
• With stains of any origin vinegar works well. It is added to the solution or applied directly to the stain.
• To remove contamination on the surface of white wool, 3% hydrogen peroxide can be used.

If the manual washing did not give the desired result and the contamination could not be removed, then do not immediately resort to using the washing machine. Such an aggressive effect can not withstand every thing, first you have to dry the object.

Drying woolen clothes is also necessary according to the rules, otherwise they will lose their original shape after the first cleaning:

1. Squeeze water out of the cloth is forbidden, it is better to put the washed product on the grate and allow the liquid to drain. In extreme cases, we put the product in a warm towel and squeeze it, but do not turn it.
2. After the water has ceased to drip, we shake the garment, hang it on the hangers and straighten all the elements. Let it dry at room temperature.
3. If the product is massive and strongly hangs, then the drying is carried out in a horizontal position, on a soft cloth. We turn clothes periodically, but we update the matter.

Before you wash the woolen sweater, you need to read its composition. Today, these products are often diluted with artificial threads, so that the product does not sit down or to improve the practicality and functionality of clothing. In this case, it is allowed to process the item in the washing machine and then dry it on the hangers.

How to wash a woolen thing so that it sat down to the desired size?

If you have to wash a woolen sweater or another garment very often, it will gradually stretch to unimaginable dimensions. So that the subject quickly sat down to the usual dimensions, you need to perform the following manipulations:

• Read the label, note what types of effects on the fabric are prohibited and almost everything is done on the contrary, only very carefully.
• First place the object in hot water for about half an hour, so that it falls apart. The temperature should be exceeded by no more than 20 ° C from the recommended temperature. Further we carry out the most usual washing and rinse the product, but only in very cold water, it is possible even with pieces of ice.
• Clean the thing with a towel and proceed to drying. To maximize the object of the villages, it is necessary to help them with sources of artificial heat. We spread it in the immediate vicinity of the battery or under the air-conditioner, we direct the hair dryer. In this case, the fabric must be constantly corrected, eliminating any tension that appears.

Incorrect washing in the machine also gives the necessary effect, but in this case the risk of damage to the product is high, therefore it is better to resort to a more troublesome, but safe manual method. Even if the item has not sat down to the right size the first time, you can try again in a short time and achieve the desired result.
