Step by step guide to remove mud stains

However refreshing the rainy season be, it also brings along with it a problem that none of us who step outdoors during this time can escape from. Yeah, you’re right- it’s mud stains. It does not matter how careful we are of not stepping into a puddle or in avoiding mud slashes, they’re just unavoidable. Being unable to get rid of these splatters, leads to a lot of annoyance, as most times it makes us unwillingly give up clothes that we love dearly. Wouldn’t it be great if we could enjoy the season without any worries. Curious? Let’s walk through the step by step procedure of getting rid of them in the twinkling of an eye.

Step 1: Let the mud dry

Before washing or trying to clean the mud stain with water, it is essential that you let it dry for a little while. The process is complete when the mud feels dry when touched and gets lighter in colour. Once it has a crumbly appearance it is time for us to start working on it by proceeding to the next step. Not drying it prior to washing can worsen the stain, which would further lead to more hard work in removing it.

Step 2: Scrape it off

Once it has a friable appearance, we can easily scrape it off. For doing so, you should take the help of a spoon or a blunt knife. However, you should keep in mind to be gentle during the process and not dig at the fabric with the object you are using too harshly.

Step 3: Scrub with detergent

After you have successfully removed the dry portions, it is time to pre-treat it using a detergent. Not all detergents help in removing mud marks, and even if they do, they end up hardening the portion of the fabric which was muddy. Therefore, we recommend you to use Champion Blue Premium Detergent Powder, as it helps remove stubborn stains from your clothes while keeping them shiny, soft and vibrant. Just take a little bit of the powder and scrub it over the blotched portion with the help of a toothbrush, and in just a few minutes you will see it vanish. Then, we proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Machine wash or hand wash

Once we are done with treating the stain, we proceed to the next step where we load the garment, which we are working on, with the other garments which we need to wash in the washing machine. The same goes for hand-washing. Do not rinse off the detergent that you used to pre-treat the stain before this step. Keeping it helps ensure there’s no trace of it left after the wash.

Step 5: Air dry

The final step in this process is to air dry your clothes. Until they are completely dry, you cannot make sure whether you have successfully gotten rid of the mark or not. However, if you chose Champion Blue as your partner in fighting mud stains, you can rest assured that they are long gone!So next time it drizzles, don’t disturb your daily routine for it, and just put up your umbrellas or put on your rain-coats and walk out like a pro to enjoy the beautiful season.

The proper way to deal with your whites

adminLeave a Comment on The proper way to deal with your whites

Isn’t it just inevitable for our white garments to get stained, in one way or another, or become less vivid, over a period of time? Its such a pity when they turn pale after just a month’s use, and we need to discard them just because they’re no more the same as they once were when we had bought them. But, what if I told you that a few simple precautions and orderly washing habits could keep them as good as new? Read on to discover how simple it really is:

#1. Separate clothes

The first and the most important point to that we need to take care of is, to wash them separately. There are many clothes which leak dyes from them, and the garments most susceptible to stains and to soak up other colours, are obviously our whites. A little segregation can go a long way in safeguarding the natural colour of our garments.

#2. Act promptly on a stain

We often tend to act on evident stains but ignore the unnoticeable ones like the sweat marks on our clothes, for instance under the arms and behind the collar, but letting them build up results in them becoming permanent, recalcitrant marks which are difficult to remove in the long run. We should therefore pay attention to these stains and wash them off as quickly as we can. Your friend in need to remove stains is Champion Matic, which is a quick action stain remover. It works like no other detergent, in not only removing the stain, but also protecting the fabric’s colour from fading.

#3. The fabric matters

Different fabrics need to be treated in different ways. Read the care instructions given on the label properly, to not cause damage to it in the process of cleaning it. Some cotton and linen clothes, for instance, should not be washed with very warm water as they tend to get shrunk. When it comes to polyester, on the other hand, hot water is the only solution for you to remove stains. Hence, to avoid the fabric from getting faded or mangled, make sure to sort your whites according to the fabric after you are done sorting them out of your other clothes.

#4. Use as much detergent as needed

 

When on the one hand using too much of detergent can harm the fabric of your garments, using too less, on the other hand, can lead to it not helping much in the washing process. Be careful to pre-treat a stain before putting the garment in the machine, and use only as much detergent as is required.

 

#5. Use very hot water to treat stains

 

Hot water helps erase stains very swiftly, and also helps remove sweat marks from clothes. Nevertheless, we need to be careful as the use of hot water on a cloth, over a long period of time, results in it fading and tarnishing the fabric. Even though it’s true that we can invariably bleach our white clothes to bring back their colour, but we should always read the care labels carefully to prevent damaging the fabric.

 

So go ahead, and follow these simple tips and use the Champion Matic which, with its anti-dye transfer, anti fuzz and anti-fade technology will keep your spotless whites the same always.

The proper way to handle your towels

adminLeave a Comment on The proper way to handle your towels

Did you know that keeping your towels in the perfect condition is as easy as washing them? Yes, by just implementing a little bit of care in handling them and by using the right technique for washing them, we can help them last really long. We refrain from using those which stiffen over a period of time, or get faded to the extent that you reflexively choose the other one on the rack, but wouldn’t it be great if we could keep them all as bright and soft as those hotel towels you adore are! So, let’s learn how we can do it.

  1. Wash once or twice a week

It is not necessary to wash them daily if you air dry them after use. Washing them on a regular basis damages the fabric, therefore, a wash in every three to four days is good enough. However, you obviously need to wash them, for the sake of hygiene, more often than twice a week, if your towels develop a smell or if you have used it to clean dirt.

  1. The detergent matters!

Towels tend to get faded, scratchy and stiff with repeated washes. This happens when you use too much detergent, and when you use the wrong one. While washing them, you should use half the amount of detergent you use for washing other clothes. When it comes to the choice of detergent, it is of utmost importance that you choose one that would protect the fabric of the towels as well as keep them from fading. So, get rid of those harsh washing powders and switch to Champion Blue as it’s StainGo ColourPro Technology helps fight stains, protects colour and also helps maintain the freshness of your towels.

  1. The right temperature for washing

The fabric of your towel helps determine the correct temperature required to wash it. Irrespective of that, if they are dirty, it is recommended that you wash them using hot water, as it helps sanitise them. When it comes to colour, the light coloured ones can be washed in hot water, but very hot water can make the dark coloured ones bleed.

  1. Try to wash them separately

Since they are very absorbent, it is advisable to wash them separately as they soak up colours from clothes that bleed faster than most other clothing materials in your laundry. Also, never wash the towels that you use to clean dirt, along with your other clothes because the dirt then gets transferred to all the clothes that you’re washing, as well.

  1. Drying your towels

You should hang your bath-towels to dry each time after use. Not doing so, and just leaving them rolled up in a corner can result in the growth of mildew. If you plan on drying them in a dryer, be it after a wash or use, make sure to read the care instructions carefully before doing so. To refrain from damaging the fabric, avoid drying them for too long inside the dryer. Air-drying, on the other hand, is a great option, as sunlight helps to kill the germs as well.

 

All it takes to start preserving all your towels is choosing the right detergent and knowing the correct way to deal with them. So just follow these advices and get Champion Blue to keep your towels immaculate always.

How to stop cotton clothes from shrinking

adminLeave a Comment on How to stop cotton clothes from shrinking

Cotton clothes are predisposed to get shrunk when washed without paying much heed to the proper techniques of cleansing them. It is unavoidable to stop these garments from shrinking when they’re subjected to excessive heat or cleansed with very warm water. So long as you take proper care while you wash them, be it with your hands or with your washing machine, you can be free from the strife of shriveling them. If you’re curious to find out how, here’s a list of the things you need to be careful about while machine washing them and hand washing them, respectively.

Here are some pointers on how to wash your cotton in your washing machine:

  1. Choose the correct mode before starting the machine

Every washing machine comes with various options from which we need to preset the correct mode, pertaining to the clothes were about to wash before we start it up. It is advisable to select the “delicate” option when dealing with cotton, as in this mode the rinsing is done less vigorously and for a shorter time, consequently preventing the chance of shrinkage and cleaning the clothes as well. You should also check the labels for warnings.

  1. Set the dryer on a low or no heat setting

Remember always, the more the heat, the more the shrinkage. Accordingly, it is of paramount importance that you set the heat of your dryer to the lowest. Some dryers even come with a no heat air-dry option, if you own one such dryer, this is the drying method you’d like to swear by, even though it takes a little longer to dry the clothes. But, isn’t investing a little more time in the process, way better than having them withered up?

  1.  Do not over-dry

Another trick is to not dry the clothes completely in the dryer. Over-drying contracts the clothes To avoid it, take the clothes out of it while they are still a little soggy, and hang them to dry outdoors or under a ceiling fan.

*If you are considering hand-washing your cotton garments, these are the guidelines you’d like to follow:

  1. Wash clothes with cold water

We often use warm water or sometimes even extremely hot water to get rid of stains. This might help in removing stains, but it also has deleterious effects on certain fabrics. Cotton shrinks on being subjected to warm water. That being so, it is preferable to use cold water when handling these garments. If your detergent does not work equally well in cold water, you might want to switch to Champion Premium Detergent Powder which fights stains with its gentle yet effective ingredients, and works equally well when used with cold water.

  1. Using a gentle detergent

A lot of detergents harshly remove stains from the clothes, leaving the fabric damaged at the end of the day. On that account, choosing the correct one is a matter of prime importance. Luckily, the Champion Blue Detergent Powder is enriched with fabric conditioner which protects your clothes from shrinkage and keeps them as good as new.

As simple and this advice might sound, they are extremely effective as well. So, just follow them, and switch to Champion if you have not already, to maintain the newness of your cotton clothes and to keep them safe.

Tips to Prevent Colour Bleeding

adminLeave a Comment on Tips to Prevent Colour Bleeding

Don’t we all have that one favourite t-shirt/top that got ruined because the dye from that other darned cloth ran into it? Even if there isn’t much we can do about it, (because you probably have tried every method you found on the Internet by now to remove that colour off it), we can at least ensure that we prevent our other favourite clothes from getting destroyed in the same manner. Colour bleed occurs when the dye of one cloth percolates out of it and stains other clothes. It is the commonest reason for our clothes getting ruined, but we can put a halt to it by just being a little cautious while washing our clothes. If you want to know more, just read on:

#1. Do not over-wash your clothes.

As much as you’d want to wash your favourite garments everyday to keep them clean, you should actually keep a check on those urges to do so. Over-washing your clothes can cause the chemical fixers or mordants, that are used to keep the dye intact, to get fizzled out of the fabric. So, it is not just new clothes that you need to be careful with. Make sure to always use a good quality detergent which protects these fixers. Champion Blue is your saviour in this regard, as its formula does not just help in keeping your clothes clean, but also protects the fabric and it’s colour.

#2. Wash with cold water

Rest easy, it’s obviously not ice-cold water we’re advocating here, but what you should avoid is, very warm water. Try to ensure that the water you’re use for washing is between 25-30ºC. Are you wondering why? Well, the simple reason is that very warm water opens up the fibres of a cloth which then prompts the colour to run out of it.

#3. Don’t leave wet clothes in a pile

Keeping wet clothes together in a pile increases the chances of their colours to get transferred from one to the other. You should always try to wash similar colours at a time, especially when you’re dealing with whites.

#4. Act instantly

Taking immediate action helps to remove the colour bled stains, as the longer you leave it the more the colour settles in your clothes. Another thing you wouldn’t want to do is, drying the stained clothes, as the heat helps to permanently fix the colour. If nothing works in removing the stain, then why not just embrace it or look up some beguiling DIY stuff we can do with it!

#5. Be careful while purchasing

There are several indicators that help us understand whether there’s excess dye in a fabric or not. For instance, most fabrics that feel firm and stiff have a tendency of colour bleeding. Also ensure to read the label to check the warnings, if any, on your clothing. Hence, taking a little care while purchasing, can shield you from this hassle.

The bottomline is, just remember to never wash a garment that has an unstable colour, with your other clothes that are dear to you. Additionally, there’s Champion Blue to help you guard your clothes from fading and bleeding. In sum, by just being a little careful and following these simple tips you can impede the commonest problem in washing clothes from causing you trouble.

Why you should not leave washed clothes inside washing machine?

adminLeave a Comment on Why you should not leave washed clothes inside washing machine?

Before I give you advice and suggestions, let me make a confession: I often put clothes inside my washing machine and forget about them altogether. And that is why I would be the most apt coach you will have in this regard. If you are reading this blog, it means just like me, you too have a forgetful attitude towards your washed clothes waiting inside the washing machine. So, here are the simple devices listed for you.

First of all, set an alarm on your mobile. The washing cycle for your clothes would be completed in about an hour, or the timing shown in the display of your washing machine. Use the gadget that stays with you all the while to remind of the upcoming task of taking clothes out of the machine and getting them out there for drying. Repeat this process for the next 4-5 washing cycles and you would be amazed and soon start remembering this task without any gadget’s help.

Leaving the clothes inside the washing machine causes multiple problems. Trying to list some of them here:

  • Unpleasant Odor: When the wet clothes are left behind inside the washing machine for long hours, they form an unpleasant stench. Even the sweet fragrance of Champion Blue will not be able to overcome this stench. While you might think that the stench would go away once the clothes are dried in uninterrupted sunshine, you might be up for a surprise. If left for long, the stench might minimize under the influence of sunshine but would not go away altogether. To attain complete relief from odor you would need a repeat wash.
  • Destroys Fabrics: When concealed within a wet and damp machine the fabrics of the clothes are destroyed for once and all. So, if you care for your clothes try to get them out of the machine as soon as possible. Even the advanced formula Champion Matic, which protects the fiber of your clothes, will not be able to save your favorite clothes.
  • Hazardous for Children: Clothes that remain within the washing machine, long after their washing cycle has been completed, can carry mildew that is hazardous for the health of children. It can affect the tender skin of your kids.

 

As you can see, even when you use sturdy detergents such as Champion Matic and Champion Blue, it is important to get the clothes out of the machine and out there to dry.
