Are you faced with the problem of a dirty or greasy collar? This article will show you how to fix it.
The easiest way is to take the item to the dry cleaner. But this is not always convenient: business trips, another city, lack of a trusted location and a high price for the work. In addition, you cannot be sure of the quality of the result. Another option is to wash the jacket yourself. Even if there is no stripe on the product prohibiting this, washing a jacket is a dangerous undertaking: the fabric may deteriorate and the product may become deformed.
Cleaning methods at home
In situations where the product remains clean, but only the collar is dirty, try cleaning it up yourself.
Vinegar
To prepare the solution you will need water and vinegar. Dilute them in any container in a 1:1 ratio, then mix thoroughly. The vinegar can be heated. Dampen a soft towel or sponge in the resulting solution and thoroughly wipe the dirty areas.To get rid of the unpleasant smell of vinegar, take your jacket outside or onto the balcony and let it air out.
IMPORTANT keep the proportions correctly. If you overdo it with vinegar, you won’t be able to get rid of the smell and the product will lose its original color.
Soap
Dilute dishwashing detergent and water in any container. Keep the proportions 1:3. Apply the resulting foam to the collar and rub with a towel or sponge. At the end of the procedure, remove any remaining solution on the fabric with water.
IMPORTANT Carefully remove any remaining product so that no soapy streaks remain on the fabric.
Salt
Take 3 teaspoons of ammonia and 1 teaspoon of table salt. Mix them in any container. Soak a cotton pad or small cloth in the resulting solution, then wring it out and wipe the dirty areas with it.
IMPORTANT After treatment, additionally wipe the collar with water to get rid of the unpleasant smell of ammonia and maintain the original color of the product.
Ammonia
Mix 1 tablespoon of ammonia and 3 tablespoons of water. Soak a cotton pad in the solution and rub away the stains. Then wipe the surface with a sponge soaked in clean water.
Alcohol
Pour a little ethyl alcohol or vodka onto a cotton swab. Then treat the greasy surface and let it dry on its own. Another way: after processing, iron the collar, thus drying it.
Ammonium carbonate
First, wet the surface with water, then wipe the contaminated areas with ammonium carbonate until foam forms. After a few minutes, rinse off the foam with warm water. Another name for the substance is E503, it is non-toxic and is used in cooking (leaving agent).
