How to remove stains when machine washing clothes

adminLeave a Comment on How to remove stains when machine washing clothes

Owing to our busy schedules most of us prefer machines washing clothes rather than hand washing them. The reason behind this preference is simple, it saves time and is also very convenient to use. But, when it comes to stains, machine washing garments can get tricky. Have there not been instances when some stains just don’t seem to go, no matter how many times you wash them, or even worse, get transferred into other clothes that you wash along with it, which previously had no stains? However, this does not mean that you need to hand wash stained clothes. Our washing machines today, are all well equipped to quickly remove all sorts of stains. All you need to do is read the tips below, and keep them in mind while loading stained clothes in your machine.

1. Sort of clothes

It is very important that you sort your clothes before loading the machine. Stained clothes can stain other clean clothes too, therefore it’s always advisable to wash them separately even after the stains have been pre-treated. White and other light coloured clothes are more susceptible to getting stained from other dirty clothes than the dark ones, hence, you should always wash them separately.

2. Different methods for different stains

It is not advisable to put water on every stain as soon as you notice it. A lot of times you can simply scrape them off entirely or at least get rid of the excesses once it is dry. Some stains tend to get transferred from one garment to another, making your job more difficult. Therefore, it is important that you first eradicate them by pre-treating them in whichever way best suits it. For instance, turmeric stains can be scraped off whereas ink stains need to be pre-treated with a detergent.

3. The right detergent

A lot of stain removing detergents have an immense amount of chemical content in them. These might remove the stain but they ultimately end up causing irreparable damage to the fabric. Therefore, it is advisable that you use Champion Premium Detergent Powder as it has a triple-action cleaning formula that helps to not only remove all sorts of stains from your clothes but also helps in conditioning the fabric thereby increasing its lifespan.

4. The temperature of the water

Another important thing that you need to keep in mind is the temperature of water used in cleaning the stained clothes. It is a common misconception that it is best to use warm water when it comes to removing stains, but a lot of stains are best treated when you used cold water, for instance, bloodstains. When using hot water, it is essential that you check the garment’s care label because many garments tend to get shrunk when washed with hot water. Therefore, it is always wise to check beforehand to avoid damaging the fabric.

5. The correct setting

Make sure that you use the correct setting when washing these clothes in your machine. Most washing machines today have an option for washing stained or too soiled clothes separately. It is important that you wash them using this setting, as quick washing them with other clothes will not help in removing the stains.

Just follow these simple tips and use Champion Blue Detergent Powder, and you will find your job of removing stains from clothes a lot easier than before.

 

Love embroidered clothing? Here’s how you protect them.

adminLeave a Comment on Love embroidered clothing? Here’s how you protect them.

Oh how beautiful even a little well-knit embroidery work makes our garments look! It does not matter what fabric it is, be it cotton, silk or even wool, it looks absolutely exquisite in them all. It is very important that we take proper care of these garments while laundering them owing to all the hard work that was invested in beautifully knitting them. It is true that nowadays even the embroidery done with machines looks equally good, but you can still make out the difference between a hand-knit and machine-knit piece of clothing. Be it hand-knit or machine-knit embroidery work, the following care instructions must be kept in mind while dealing with these clothes. 

 

 

  • Try to hand-wash them.

 

It is always best to hand-wash clothes that are delicate, and just like embellished clothes, these garments should be hand-washed too. Just pre-treat stains and then fill a bucket of water and add some Champion Blue detergent powder in it and wash the clothes gently. You may also use bleach when you find the colour getting dull. It is always desirable to read the care instructions given on the label carefully, and then wash the clothing accordingly to avoid unpleasant surprises.

 

 

  • Check if the embroidery threads bleed colour.

 

A lot of times the threads of an embroidered garment tend to run colour, and damage the entire garment and even the other garments that you wash along with it. Therefore, it is also advisable to have this checked before you wash it. All you need to do is take a wet white cloth and rub it over the threads and then check if the threads bleed colour; and even if they don’t, just make sure to wash these clothes in cold water using Champion Blue to prevent colour run. 

 

 

  • Consider home dry-cleaning.

 

Home dry cleaning kits are easily available in the market, and you can even order them online. These come handy when your garments are not too soiled and you still want to clean them but not wash them. However, you should always check for colour fastness before starting to work on it. You can even try vacuuming these clothes, and if they’re still dirty or not bright enough, you can always let a professional dry cleaner take care of it.

 

 

  • Take care while ironing.

 

Ironing these clothes might get tricky if you do not know the correct way of doing it. Many complain that the threads break or melt on ironing. Just a little bit of precaution will save you from this. All you need to do is turn the garment inside out and then press it. If you want to iron on the front side, you should always place a cloth or a paper on the top of your garment while you iron it. You should also avoid using a steam iron for this purpose.

 

 

  • Storing embroidered clothes.

 

Try your best to hang your embroidered clothes and not fold them, as that might affect the thread work. You can also roll them up and keep them in a pile but just make sure that you do not place anything heavy on them to avoid them from getting creased.

 

That’s now! Now all you need to do is go ahead and dauntlessly flaunt those beautiful embroidered garments this Puja.

The importance of segregating clothes before machine washing

adminLeave a Comment on The importance of segregating clothes before machine washing

 

It is easy to make a huge pile of all the clothes you want to launder and shove them all inside the washing machine together to get them washed and dried in one go. But, by doing this you not only risk damaging delicate clothes which require special attention, but also all the other clothes in the pile if any one of them happens to bleed colour. So, isn’t it better to be safe than sorry? Moreover sorting clothes just takes 10 minutes, and it goes a long way in helping extend the life of your clothes. The job gets even more plain sailing when you are aware of a pertinent way of doing so. If you are not, just read on to know about it.

 

Remove the delicates from the pile first.

Delicate clothes come with special instructions on the care labels. To avoid damaging them you should always read the warnings carefully before washing and drying them. Let us take for instance clothes with embellishments. They tend to get ruined when washed with other clothes on a normal cycle. Some delicate clothes should only be dry cleaned. You must take care to send them to the dry cleaner when you want them cleaned and not wash them with the rest of your garments.

 

Separate them according to their color.

A lot of clothes bleed colour and ruin other clothes. To prevent this, you should first remove the whites from the rest of the pile, and then make separate piles of the dark and light garments. Keep the clothes that are black, red, navy blue, gray, etc. in the dark-colored pile, and the ones that have pastel shades like green, yellow, pink etc. in the light coloured pile. Furthermore, use the Champion Matic detergent to be doubly secured as its anti-dye transfer technology prevents colour bleeding. 

 

Deal with stained and soiled clothes.

Stained require pre-treating, as washing them with other clothes might not help in removing the stains. Once you are done with pre-treating a garment that has a stain, you can put it back in whatever category it belongs and have it washed in the machine with those clothes. When it comes to clothes that are too soiled, it is best to wash them separately as it might need a longer time to get cleaned completely. Again, we suggest Champion Matic, as it an expert detergent when it comes to machine wash,

 

Consider the fabric weight.

It is not just the colour that matters, but the weights of the garments need to be considered too while segregating. Different fabrics have different textures, and sometimes very heavy garments can tear the fabric of those which are light and delicate. Additionally, it is also difficult to dry clothes with different fabric weights together; as those which are light tend to get dried sooner, and very heavy ones may take a considerable amount of time to get dried. 

 

Separate drying processes.

Tumble drying may not be suitable for every fabric, and therefore the drying process must be determined in accordance with the type of material that you are dealing with. For instance, clothes made of leather may get flaky when dried, those made of silk and cashmere may get damaged and the cotton gets shrunk when over-dried.

 

I hope these sorting tips help! 

How to keep your little one’s soft toys clean

adminLeave a Comment on How to keep your little one’s soft toys clean

Is it not the cutest thing in the world to watch and adore your toddler play with his cute soft toys? It is the closest thing to their hearts, and they drag them with themselves wherever they go. Therefore, it does not come as a surprise when these toys, if not cleaned for a very long time; become a powerhouse for various kinds of bacteria and other germs. But that does not mean that you should forbid your little ones from playing with their favorite cuddly toys. All you need to is keep them clean and hygienic at all. Wondering how? Just read on.

Check the label- Before you start working on cleaning it, you should read the care instructions given on the label with the utmost care to avoid damaging it. It is advisable to always check it before purchasing a toy to ensure that it is washable. Before washing it, you should also check for delicate parts that might get ripped off during the wash, like a stuffed animal’s eyes. Make sure to take proper care of protecting those parts before starting the cleaning process.

Pre-treat the stains if any- From mud splatters to curry smears, there can be several different types of stains on your little one’s beloved toy. Machine washing them may not help in removing those marks. Hence, it is essential to pre-treat them. It is very important to use the right detergent during the entire process. Champion Blue is what we swear by for this purpose. Its advanced StainGo ColourPro technology has a double-action cleaning formula that helps remove stains very efficiently. Just put a little bit of the powder on the stain and brush it till it disappears, let it sit for 3 minutes and then machine wash or hand wash it with the same detergent.

Washing the toys- As already mentioned above, the first thing you need to do is, ensure that your toy is washable. Different toys have different washing methods. Some come with a chain, which you can unzip and remove all the cotton and then machine wash just the outer portion, some can be entirely washed in the washing machine, and some need to be hand washed. Avoid washing delicate ones in the machine and just hand-wash them in the sink. You can also put the toy inside a pillowcase and wash them with the rest of your garments. You should also avoid putting very large toys in the washing machine as they might damage the machine. Make sure you use a detergent that will keep them fresh and also protect their color. Again, Champion Blue Detergent is your solution in this case.

Drying the toys- Avoid drying the toys in the dryer as this will ruin the shape of the toys, and in some cases even shrink them. It is advisable that you gently squeeze out as much water as you can from the toy with your hands, and then use a sponge to remove the excess water and brush them, and then air dry them under a fan, as air drying them under the sun might fade them.

Follow this simple method of keeping your darling’s toys clean, and keep clicking and saving those adorable memories that you will cherish for a lifetime.

 

Easy steps to remove chocolate stains

adminLeave a Comment on Easy steps to remove chocolate stains

From chocolate fondue to chocolate ice-cream, everything that has anything to do with chocolate is just irresistibly scrumptious. We delve so much into the mouth-watering taste that we start resembling children and we even act like them when we carelessly drop it on our garments and end up with stains that seem difficult to remove. Now does that mean that you should be careful while eating chocolate? Absolutely not! You do justice to it only by plunging into these delicacies; don’t let the stains stop it. All you need to do is know how you can get rid of these stains totally and easily, and then continue diving into the world of cocoa.

 

Step 1- At the very beginning of the process of fighting this stain, we deal with it exactly as we deal with the rest of the stains, that is, by pre-treating it. Do not put water on the stain as soon as you notice it. A lot of times you can simply scrape it off or at least the excesses once it is dry. It is after that, that you should start working on it. First off, put some Champion Blue detergent powder on the stain. If you’re wondering why we stressed on Champion Blue, it is because it fights stains more adroitly than any other detergent powder at your disposal. Its StainGo ColourPro technology helps remove stains in a jiffy and keeps the fabric safe as well. Then, rub the affected area with a brush. In this step it is essential that you make sure to not scrape it or brush it too hard, or you would risk damaging the fabric of the clothing. 

 

Step 2- Turn the portion inside out and wash the backside of the affected area with cold water or soda water. This loosens the chocolate molecules and helps to remove the stain easily. If for some reason you cannot turn the clothing inside out, all you need to do is just put some soda water on the affected area. After this is done, put the entire clothing inside a bucket full of cold water, and let it soak in it for 15 minutes. Rub the affected area every 5 minutes, and you will see the stain slowly disappear.

 

Step 3- Now you just need to put the clothing inside your washing machine or hand-wash it, with Champion Blue detergent. If you are going to wash it with the rest of the clothes, you need to make sure that the stain has totally disappeared, otherwise, you will risk damaging the rest of the clothes as well, as the chocolate molecules might get transferred to and settle into other clothes.

 

Step 4- Once you are done washing the garment; it is time to dry it. Ensure that there are no stains left before tumble drying the clothing. Tumble drying a stained garment would just make the stain permanent, as the heat helps the molecules to get settled into the fabric. The same goes for ironing. Hence, proceed to this step only when you are sure that you have successfully rid yourself of the stain. However, if you follow these instructions be rest assured that the stain will definitely go away in step 2.

 

Finally comes the most important step- pat yourself on the back, wear the garment again and go have more chocolates.

When to use more and when to use less detergent

adminLeave a Comment on When to use more and when to use less detergent

Not using the right amount of detergent can have various unfavorable outcomes on your clothes. Using more than required would make them firm and stiff, and using less, on the other hand, would not help in removing the dirt off very soiled clothes. Again, if you notice some leftover detergent on your clothes, you’re probably using too much of it, and if your clothes stink even after they’re washed you’re using too little. There are several determinants that help understand the amount of detergent you require to wash your garments, by just knowing what they are you can be a pro in judging the right quantity of your detergent. To begin with, you must always use the right detergent. We swear by Champion Blue because of its double-action cleaning formula. The following factors help determine the amount of detergent you need to use.

 

The hardness of the water

The hardness of the water plays a great role in determining the amount of detergent you need. Even though hard water is not harmful, but just water loaded with minerals, it requires more detergent to clean your clothes than soft water does. This is because it may render your detergent ineffective to some extent. If you do not see any froth on the clothes while washing them, you should keep adding detergent until you can see it. There is no exact quantity that can be recommended for hard water as the hardness of water differs from one place to another. Using a good quality detergent powder like Champion Blue helps in making the washing process a lot easier even if you wash your garments with hard water.

 

The level of dirt

The more soiled your clothes are, the more detergent you will require. Very dirty clothes require a lot more detergent than less soiled clothes. If you use the same quantity of detergent for heavily soiled clothes that you use for your regular wears, then you will notice that the dirt has not been washed off from the clothes properly. You should always use more detergent as it not only helps in cleaning the clothes but also prevents the dirt from settling back it. Therefore, even if you have half the load of these clothes, you should wash it with as much quantity of detergent as you would use for a full load. Once again, it is very important that you use a good quality detergent when you are dealing with dirty clothes to remove all the dirt and stains.

 

The number of your clothes 

The quantity of your clothes also determines the amount of detergent that you will require for washing it. You need to increase and decrease the dosage of the detergent according to your load size. Nowadays, washing machines come in different sizes. Therefore, if you have changed yours, make sure that the load size is the same as your previous washing machine, and if it is not, you need to change the dosage of the detergent accordingly. If you have switched to using a high-efficiency washing machine, which has the same load size, you will need lesser detergent than you needed previously. Hence, it is essential you make the changes accordingly. 

 

If you weren’t doing it right previously, just follow these simple suggestions which will surely make things a lot easier for you.

5 points to remember while washing your little one’s clothes

adminLeave a Comment on 5 points to remember while washing your little one’s clothes

 

Toddlers are so delicate that they are prone to catch an infection as soon as they come in contact with it. Just a little bit of negligence when it comes to their hygiene can have a negative impact on their health. This is why you probably keep their hands and toes, and everything else they touch, sanitized at all points. But, did you know that it is the clothes they wear that make them susceptible to germs if they are even a little unclean? These clothes are exposed to germs since the time you buy them, and therefore you need to be careful about washing them properly even before the first time your child wears them. To know more about how you can keep your baby’s clothes germ-free, just read on.

 

  • Soak the clothes 

 

It is essential that you soak your baby’s clothes in hot water for some time before washing them. This kills all the bacteria present in the clothes before the wash. Once you’re done washing the clothes, soak them again in lukewarm water, to be double sure that all the germs are taken care of. Just plainly washing the clothes may not kill all the bacteria present, and therefore it is always advisable to not skip soaking them in hot water.

 

  • The temperature of the water

 


While washing the clothes you need to keep a check on the temperature of the water as well. If you wash your baby’s clothes in very hot water to disinfect it in your washing machine, you might unknowingly damage the fabric of the cloth. Hand-washing them again in very hot water is not an option, because you’ll just end up burning your hands. That being so, regardless of whether you are machine washing it or handwashing it, it is advisable that you use warm water. 

 

  • Garment care tag

 


Pay heed to the garment care tag to avoid damaging the fabric in the process of washing it. It is best to sort the clothes according to the colour to prevent colour run. It is very important that you follow the method that is best suited for the particular garment that you are dealing with. 

 

  • The proper detergent 

 

A lot of detergents have an immense amount of chemical content in them. These might make the clothes look clean but these chemicals may cause harm to your baby’s skin since it is super sensitive. Therefore, it is advisable that you use Champion Premium Detergent Powder as it has a triple action cleaning formula that will not only eradicate all the germs from the clothes but also cause no harm to your baby’s soft skin when they put on these clothes, as it does not leave any chemical compound behind after the wash is over. 

 

  • Dry the clothes properly

 

Damp clothes can have adverse effects on your baby’s health. Hence, it is essential that you always make sure that the clothes are completely dry before you make your baby wear them. Moreover, drying clothes in sunlight has another perk of naturally disinfecting them. Accordingly, the drying process is as equally important as the washing is. 

Just follow these simple and easy tips and switch to Champion Premium Detergent Powder to keep your baby’s clothes safe and disinfected at all times.

Once that’s done wash the garment or just the portion that you’re working on making sure that you’ve successfully washed off all the hairspray from your clothing.
  • Nail polish remover- Even though this is probably the most effective way of removing ink stains, it is best that you consider this as your last resort owing to the damage that it is going to cause to the fabric. If it is a massive ink stain that you are working on, it is best that you apply the nail polish remover on a little portion of the fabric first, to ensure that it does not damage it completely, and then apply it on the entire affected area.
