When washing clothes, don't just put in detergent
Many people complain that clothes washed in washing machines wear out very quickly, even tear. No matter what type of washing machine is used, its impact force is still stronger than hand washing, so it is obvious that clothes will wear out.
In addition, if you wash too many clothes at the same time, exceeding the standard of the washing machine, during operation, the clothes will be forced to squeeze together, causing the clothes to be tightly wrapped together. When the washing drum rotates, the clothes continue to stretch, causing the tightly wrapped clothes to easily tear due to the pulling force.
If you do not arrange the clothes in the washing machine carefully but stuff them haphazardly, the clothes will also be easily worn and torn. Because at this time the device cannot handle it neatly, causing the clothes to easily twist together, making the possibility of the clothes being worn and torn very high.
There is a simple way to overcome this situation: put 2 water bottles in the washing machine. At this time, the plastic bottle will rotate with the clothes and create friction. It greatly reduces the friction between clothes, and the clothes are no longer tangled together, avoiding tearing.
In addition, while spinning, the plastic bottle will act as a wooden stick to knock on the clothes, rubbing the clothes for cleaning purposes. Thanks to that, the clothes are also cleaner.
Please note that before putting the plastic bottle in the washing machine, you need to tighten the bottle cap, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the effect. In addition, you can apply some tips to clean clothes with the washing machine as follows:
- Sort clothes before washing
Before putting clothes in the washing machine, you should carefully check and sort clothes by material and color. Check if there are any forgotten items in the pockets, especially sharp metal objects to avoid clothes being worn and torn when washing as well as increase the durability of the washing machine.
Sorting clothes is to avoid light-colored clothes from being stained by washing them with dark clothes or low-quality dyed clothes.
- Soak clothes before washing
Some types of fabric are very difficult to wash when dirty, such as cotton, kate, etc. Or thick clothes, shirts, when washed with other items, are also very difficult to clean completely.
It is better to put the clothes in the washing machine, fill it with water, dissolve the detergent/laundry liquid, soak the clothes for about 20-30 minutes, then press the start button. Thanks to that, the stains will loosen and be easily removed when washing.
- Add rice vinegar to the washing machine
This is a good tip that every housewife needs. You just need to put the clothes in the washing drum, fill it with water, add detergent and 200ml of rice vinegar. Start the machine so that the detergent and rice vinegar are dissolved, absorbed into the clothes, then turn off the machine. Soak the clothes for 20 minutes and then press the button to wash as usual.
Not only does it remove many stubborn stains such as fruit juice, oil, etc., rice vinegar also effectively removes unpleasant odors that linger on fabrics.
