Almost everyone has encountered the problem of litter and dust particles on their trousers. We'll figure out how to fix it in this article.
First you need to carefully approach the choice of material and texture of the product. If there are pets in the house that leave a lot of wool, various blankets, choose certain fabrics. Clothing with a small pattern is suitable; on it, small specks of dust and hairs will be least noticeable.
IMPORTANT. Products made from synthetic fabrics are most susceptible to debris sticking. Try to minimize their content in your wardrobe.
The reason for sticking is the formation of static electricity. You can get rid of it in several ways.
Professional products
Use various antistatic agents or foams - substances in their composition repel unnecessary adhesion. Antistatic agents prevent the retention of static electricity on the surface of the fabric, which is obtained due to the friction of objects against each other. There are a variety of different brands on the market: “Lana”, “Lira”, etc.
How to get rid of static at home
- Fabric softener. The substances in rinse aids not only protect things from dirt and give a pleasant aroma. Most of them remove static electricity from fabric. You can prepare an anti-stick agent at home. Mix conditioner and water in a ratio of 1:30, place the solution in a spray bottle and spray evenly onto clothing. Avoid the inside of the product.
REFERENCE proportions are approximate and may vary. It is important that there is much more water than rinse aid.
- Soda. Add about 50g of baking soda to your clothes before washing. The substance forms a protective layer that prevents the formation of electrically charged particles. After this, the clothes will not stick.
REFERENCE. Vary the amount of baking soda depending on the size of the wash. This product will also help eliminate unpleasant odors.
- Vinegar. Take a quarter cup of white vinegar and add it to the machine.
IMPORTANT do this while rinsing: after the washing cycle is completed, stop the machine and add vinegar, then turn it on again. If the machine is equipped with a special compartment for softeners, add vinegar to it before washing, it will get on the laundry at the right time.
Do not mix with bleaching agents - the chemical reaction with vinegar produces harmful fumes. If there are no white bites, apple will do, but it is not suitable for light clothes - it leaves streaks.
- Foil. Roll a small ball of foil, place it in the washing machine, turn on the usual mode. The method will help discharge electrical charges generated during washing.
IMPORTANT. Do not add foil during the drying cycle - this is dangerous.
- Softeners.Special substances included in the composition prevent the appearance of additional electricity during washing.
- Drying balls. Hard clothing is more susceptible to the formation of electrical charges on it than soft clothing. The beads soften the fabric, so they are effective against sticking.
- Air dry or use a humidifier. These methods prevent the fabric from drying out too much, one of the main causes of sticking.
- Group items depending on color: particles from light-colored clothes stick to dark ones and are difficult to remove later.
Black clothes
One of the reasons for lint sticking to black trousers may be an incorrectly selected powder. Carefully read the instructions for use of the product and follow the instructions. There are special detergents specifically for dark clothes. Use them - they protect against fading and the formation of eclectic charges.
Adviсe
If various particles continue to stick to your clothes, get some available products and use them as needed. Take special cleaning rollers, antistatic agent or foam with you. If you don’t have them at hand, regular tape will help: its mechanism of action is the same as that of a cleaning roller.
