Old spots on children's things can confound even the most experienced housewives. How to wash off persistent and already strongly stuck contamination, without spoiling the tissue and not harming the baby's delicate skin? In fact, there are a lot of ways, and most of them are more efficient and do not have a negative effect on things.
However, with all the softness of approaches, they also have their own specifics. Neglect of recommendations may result in molting of products, increase of stain resistance, increase in the area of damage.
Important points when working with old spots
The stain removal from the surface of children's clothing should be carried out according to the following rules:
- It is better to refuse ready detergents. Conventional powders can not always wash old stains, and the use of phosphate formulations can adversely affect a child's health.
- If for some reason the use of natural products is impossible, children's things can be tried with gel powders based on enzymes. They usually contain detergent extracts of plant origin, so they are safe for children's skin. However, in doing so, several approaches will have to be taken to completely remove the contamination.
- It is recommended to wash and pre-soak at the maximum permissible temperature. This will not only improve the effectiveness of the approach, but will also prevent the development of pathogenic microorganisms.
- Mixing when washing things children and adults is not recommended, even if the stains are on fabrics of the same nature.
- Before you start to process stains, you need to try to determine their origin or quality. Fat stains often permeate the fabric through and can be seen even from the wrong side. They do not have clear boundaries and after a while they become dull. Older traces without fatty components oxidize under the influence of ultraviolet and acquire shades from yellow and brown to rusty.
Spots of any nature can be washed without a trace, if you act strictly according to the scheme. The garment is turned on the wrong side, under the problem zone we put a white cotton cloth or several paper napkins. For the contamination, we apply the chosen product, acting with a cotton disc. First you need to process the edge of the spot, then it does not spread out. Further we move from the periphery to the center, until we can completely withdraw the formation.
Rules for the removal of old fat spots
Most often on baby clothes, there are greasy spots that gradually cover the dust, forming a persistent pollution. Means with which help it is possible to deduce sebaceous divorces, will help to wash and formations of an organic parentage.
- Potato starch. From a dry product, we prepare a homogeneous pulp of medium consistency. We put it on the soiled area of the thing, we clean the fabric with a soft brush or a hard sponge. Remains of the composition are removed with dry napkins or cloth soaked in gasoline. If after treatment on clothes there were divorces, rub it with black bread and wash it in soapy water.
Tip: If the stains are so old that they have turned into a thick film, then first they should be slightly softened. For this, we soak the product for half an hour in hot water( if the blood is in a cold water) with the addition of soap chips.
- Refined gasoline. Composition is applied to the contamination by soaking movements, wait a few minutes until the formation begins to dissolve. Then with the same blotting movements we remove the remnants of the product with paper napkins. Then you need to wash all the stains in the traditional way and dry the thing in the fresh air.
- Table salt. Half a glass of large crystals are dissolved in three liters of warm water. In the solution obtained for half an hour we soak the spoiled things, then, without rinsing, we erase them as usual.
- Powder of magnesia with ether. This active mixture is able to remove even traces of engine oil from any fabric. From the two components, we knead a homogeneous paste, which is distributed over the surface of the spot and gently rubbed into the material. We wait until the composition is dry, this will indicate evaporation of the ether. Remains of magnesia is removed with a brush or napkin.
- Ammonium alcohol with turpentine. To wash off particularly persistent oil or grease stains, you need to mix two parts of soap shavings and ammonia with one part of turpentine. We impregnate the resulting mass and leave it for a couple of hours. Then we wash the product in the usual way.
The listed approaches very seldom cause moulting of a tissue, but before application of the chosen means nevertheless it is necessary to be convinced of its safety on the latent site of a thing.
To influence the dried up pollution of different origin?
To remember or understand which product on the surface of a child's thing has turned into an indeterminate yellowish spot, it is quite difficult. The optimum option will be the use of universal cleaning folk remedies:
- Lemon juice with alcohol. In a fresh lemon juice add a few drops of heated medical alcohol. The composition is applied to the formation, we wait a few minutes and we send the product to the laundry. This product allows you to quickly and without trace to remove traces of vegetable, berry and fruit juices, herbs. On a white monophonic fabric for this purpose, it is better to use hydrogen peroxide.
- Vinegar. It is not recommended to try the product in its pure form on children's things. It is better to dilute it with cool water and use it for soaking or local cleaning of an undefined spot. The obvious plus option is to preserve the color of the fabric.
- Glycerin. The composition is worn for contamination, we stand for a quarter of an hour and wash it in soapy water. To work with thin natural fabrics, it is better to use a product diluted with warm water( the components are taken in equal proportions).
- Glycerin and ammonia. A similar composition will remove stains on the surface of woolen things. On a teaspoon of ammonia, take two teaspoons of glycerin and dilute the mass in a glass of warm water. The drug is applied to the stain, wait five minutes and wash the product in warm water with a small amount of gel or powder.
- Nemataris and borax. We make two solutions: one from the calculation of a teaspoon of ammonia to a glass of water, the second - a teaspoon of borax to a glass of water. First, a spoiled thing soaked in alcohol for a few minutes, then placed in a container of brown. The spot is not three, just send the soaked object into the laundry.
The described methods of influence on the tissue very rarely give a negative reaction from the skin of the child. In order to minimize this moment, processed products must be passed through several rinsing cycles and thoroughly dried in fresh air.
If after all the activities of the product comes a subtle scent of the used product, you need to wash it again, while using air conditioners and products with strong odors is not worth it, they can disguise the smell of household chemicals, reducing the possibility of its determination.
