Outerwear often gets dirty and looks untidy. It is not always possible to wait for the next season, so we deal with pollution at home. Many people are afraid to use a washing machine and clean only by hand. In fact, both methods can be used.
Preparation
It would seem that what could be complicated in such a simple action - like washing a jacket? However, many do not know the basic rules and because of this, the functionality and appearance of the clothing suffers greatly.
Before washing, it is necessary to properly prepare the jacket, then it will retain all its best properties and continue to look presentable.
- Be sure to read the information from the manufacturer. On the tags you will see the acceptable methods of washing your particular product;
- empty your pockets. Many people neglect this point or remember it too late. As a result, forgotten items become unusable and the risk of a washing machine breakdown increases;
- unfasten the fur collar, if there is one;
- turn the jacket inside out and fasten all the zippers, including on the pockets;
- If you find a specific stain, it is advisable to treat it before machine washing. Use products that do not damage clothing or change their color. The most universal method is laundry soap.
IMPORTANT! Certain types of stains require their own individual cleaner. Thus, ethyl alcohol removes traces of cosmetics well, toothpaste works well for stubborn lipstick, and a dish cleaner is used against oil stains.
Machine washable
There is no need to be afraid of washing in a machine; you will definitely not ruin the product if you follow the simple instructions.
After you have read the information on the label, make sure that there is no crossed out washing icon, and pay attention to what temperature the manufacturer recommends setting.
If you don’t find any recommendations, then stick to the standard parameters: gentle mode and 30-40 degrees. One of the most effective ways to prevent damage to both the washing machine and the jacket itself is to use a special washing cover.
ATTENTION! Often people encounter the fact that white streaks form on their jacket after washing, this is especially true for black materials. This indicates that the machine did not rinse completely and the powder got stuck in the fabric. To avoid this problem, you can set the “rinse” mode again.
The question often arises, how to avoid lumps when washing jackets?
There are certain tricks that will help you in this matter. To avoid the “clumping” effect, you need to put a couple of tennis balls in the drum of the machine.In the process, he will beat the filler and it will not lose its airy properties.
It doesn’t end with washing, because the item also needs to be dried. Under no circumstances should it be hung on hangers or anywhere. Then the filler will fall down under gravity and the upper part will remain empty.
The correct way is horizontal. Lay your jacket out on a surface, ideally in the fresh air, but not in direct sunlight. As a rule, it dries within 2 days.
Note! To prevent a rotten smell from appearing, you need to turn the jacket over from time to time, then deposits will not appear.
