Preparing the

Before you begin to erase things, you need to thoroughly prepare for this process. This will largely depend on the safety and duration of wearing things. Therefore, for preparation, too, has its own rules.

Basic rules of the preparatory process:

1. Decompose all the things that you are going to wash into 3 categories: white, colored and for delicate washing. The third item can also be divided into white and color.
2. What things can be attributed to delicate ones - determine by the label present on the product.
3. Choose the washing powder that is right for you. How to choose it will be discussed in more detail below.
4. Determine the temperature at which you will erase each of the above categories. White things are erased in hot water, colored( which can shed) and delicate - in a cool, the rest - in warm water.
5. Read the recommendations on the labels of things. Make sure that the items are sorted correctly, and the washing is matched correctly.

Important! Strongly soiled things should be soaked before washing.

Choice of detergent

An important factor in order to comply with the washing rules is also a detergent, by which the cleaning process of the tissues is performed. Different powders are designed for different materials. Therefore, before starting the process, it is necessary to determine exactly with the detergent that will suit your tissues.

For regular clothes, powders with active additives are suitable. In addition to the usual surfactants that remove fat, the powder can contain chemical brighteners and enzymes that remove stubborn stains.

Let's consider in more detail different types of powders:

1. For white and bed fabrics, it is better to use powders containing bleach, such as for example perocarbonate. Among such powders are "Persil Gold", "Losk Avtomat" and others like that.
2. For colored fabrics, it is best to use powders marked as Color: "Persil Color", "Losk Color".Instead of whitening additives, there are color protection. .
3. For woolen and other delicate items, you need to select a detergent designed specifically for these types of fabric.

Important! Also, washing powders are increasingly replacing their liquid analogs, which perceive a lower temperature and are quite suitable for hand washing.

For the automatic machine it is necessary to choose powders marked "automatic".

Preparing clothes

In addition to the separation and soaking, there are more detailed instructions for preparing clothes for washing:

1. The first step is to check all pockets, so that you can not inadvertently detect the flow of paint from the ticket or "laundered" money.
2. Straighten all wrinkles - cuffs and collars on shirts.
3. Turn inside out all pants and skirts - this will preserve their appearance longer. Close all buttons and zippers. Just do with ribbons and laces - they need to be tied. But the buttons need to be unzipped on the contrary.
4. In addition, treat stains that are already strongly ingested in clothing.
5. If you doubt that the thing does not shed - this must be checked. To do this: wet the cloth of the same kind in warm water with soap and then rinse in cold water. After 15 minutes, dry such a product with an iron - if not shed, it will not shed.

When you are done with the preparation, it is worth starting the process itself. And then there are also their own washing rules. You can divide them into 2 categories: Rules for manual washing and washing rules in the washing machine.
