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.
