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.

 

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! 

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.

Understanding the symbols on labels

Most of the times you tend to ignore the warning labels on your clothes until the damage is done after a wash or two and it’s too late to reverse the action. A lot of times you also have trouble understanding those labels because you have no idea whatsoever about what symbols given on the label really means, so you just choose the more convenient option of ignoring it. If you’re lucky, you might have washed your garments in the right way unknowingly, but if you are not, you risk ruining your favourite clothes. To avoid such risks, it is always advisable to pay heed to the symbols given on the label. Moreover, it’s the easiest task in the world to understand them, just read on to figure out what they mean.

Washing symbols:

The above symbols suggest the appropriate temperatures for washing the concerned clothes. The dots indicate the temperature that you should set on your washing machine, and they vary according to the fabric of the garment. For instance, one dot suggests 30°C, the clothes having this symbol should be washed with cold water, two dots means 40°C, these clothes require warm water, three dots suggests 50°C, these clothes need to be washed in hot water, and so on.

This is the hand-wash symbol. A garment that has this label should not be washed in the washing machine, or you risk damaging the fabric. Wash these in a tab or a bucket and ensure that all the detergent is washed off it before you hand it to dry. It is also important to use a delicate detergent while you hand-wash clothes. We recommend Champion Premium Detergent Powder for this purpose. It not only helps protect colour and fight stains but also conditions the fabric to keep it soft and it’s floral fragrance helps maintain its freshness.

Drying symbols:

The square with a circle inside is the basic dryer symbol. The number of dots inside the circle, determine the temperature in which you must set up your dryer for the concerned clothes. It also determines the specific program settings. One dot means Tumble Dry Low, two dots means Tumble Dry Medium and three dots means Tumble Dry High. The line underneath denotes the setting that needs to be used. A single line indicates the Permanent Press setting and the double line indicates that the Delicate Press setting must be used.

Dry clean symbols:

A circle symbol in your label means that your garment requires dry cleaning. The letters A, F and P help your dry cleaner understand what solvent he needs to use to dry clean your garments. A indicates that all solvents can be used, F suggests that only Petroleum solvents can be used and P means that any solvent except Trichloroethylene can be used. The symbol that has the cross on the circle indicates that that particular garment should not be dry cleaned.

Ironing Symbols:

The ironing symbols are just as simple as the rest of them. The first symbol on the image is the basic ironing symbol, the dots in the symbols indicate the temperature in which the clothes need to be ironed, and the last symbol indicates that that particular clothing must not be ironed.

Wasn’t it effortless to understand these simple symbols! Just follow them now onwards to ensure that your favourite clothes last really long.

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.

If you, like me, have a great fondness for those juicy and sweet yellow things called the Mangoes, then you anticipate summers with as much eagerness as winters!

They might be tasty and UN-put-down-able, but mangoes can be quite devastating for your clothes, especially if they are lightly shaded. The taste of luscious mangoes is enough to transport you into a different realm, so it is really demanding to ask to stay mindful while having mangoes so that there are no spillages on the clothes. And that is why having mango stains on your clothes is just a matter of time.

So, we have the perfect tips to remove the mango stains from your clothes. First thing first, as soon as you see a mango on your clothes, waste no time (of course after you are done with sipping the mango!) in spot treating the area. Scrap off the excesses from the stain with a spoon. Once done, apply a pinch of Champion Blue detergent powder and put the stained area under running water. You will find the stain getting bleak in most instances.

 

Now, that the stain has been significantly reduced, soak in soapy water for 10-15 minutes and then put it in the washing machine with your other clothes for a complete wash. If you use Champion Matic for the cleaning, you are sure to get flawlessly clean clothes at the end of it all. Now, there are many instances when the mango stains might not be detected early. By the time you have found the stains, it has already been too late. Or has it?

Use your nails to scratch out the hardened stain and you will find a fair portion of the residue dislodges easily.

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.

#3: Remove the stains right away

If you have spilled something on the saree, make it a point to clean up the area with running cold water immediately. Do not wait for the stain to settle down, otherwise, your saree is doomed. After you have removed the early effects of the stain, get back home and use some vinegar along with lukewarm water to clean up the fine residue. Squeeze out the extra water and vinegar gently. Then wrap up the saree in a soft towel to remove remaining water.
