2 Return shrunken clothes to shape

Surely, at least once in your life, an unpleasant situation happened to you: after the wrong washing regime, you received clothes several sizes smaller than they were before. To restore it, you will need baby shampoo or regular conditioner. Fill any container with warm water, add a little product to it. Soak items for about 15 minutes. Then dry: lay clothes on a towel, roll it into a roll and press it carefully. Textiles should absorb excess moisture. After that, lay things out on the surface and let dry. Baby shampoo or conditioner will smooth out the fibers of the fabric, so it will return to its previous volume.

3 Add essential oil for freshness

If you forgot to hang your laundry after washing and it has lain there for a long time, then most likely it will acquire an unpleasant smell. It will not disappear after airing, so it is worth taking additional measures. You will need a cloth (such as a tissue, small towel or handkerchief) and an essential oil. Apply a couple of drops to the fabric and put it in the washing machine with the laundry. Then additionally turn on the rinse mode.

four Remove blood only with cold water

It is very difficult to remove old blood stains from clothes, so if a thing is soiled, cleaning should not be delayed. Blood can be removed only with cold water. If the dirt is fresh, soak the soiled cloth in a container of cool water. Leave it on for 20 minutes.

If this does not help, you should use salt or hydrogen peroxide. In the first case, add a little pure water to the salt until you achieve a slurry state. It must be applied to the stain and rubbed. Hydrogen peroxide does not need to be diluted with anything, just pour it over pollution. After removing blood from clothes, wash them as usual.

5 Choose machine wash over hand wash

To simplify cleaning, many things can be washed not by hand, but in a washing machine. These include shower curtains, fabric backpacks and gym bags, small textile and silicone yoga mats, mop heads and cleaning cloths. If you are in doubt about whether this or that thing can be put into the machine, look at the label or tag. If it does not indicate that special dry cleaning is required, then feel free to throw her drum.

6 Use Salt for Plaque on Clothes

It happens that a whitish coating appears from the powder on dark clothes. In this case, the color of the clothes becomes less bright. Ordinary coarse salt will help solve the problem. Add a teaspoon to your laundry detergent. It will prevent soap particles from penetrating deep into the fabric, and will also remove powder residue from things.

7 Sort laundry by weight

Many people think that sorting clothes should only be done by color. However, experienced housewives know that it is important to take into account the characteristics of the material: the heavier it is, the more liquid it will absorb. Accordingly, the detergent is washed out of things in different ways. And thin fabrics also deteriorate faster if washed with dense ones.

However, it is important to consider that clothes made of white fabric should still be put in the machine separately. And when washing things of different colors, carefully choose the temperature regime: if it is above 30 degrees, then the material may shed.
