Instruction manual
1
Before washing, examine the inner label of the item. It is possible that wet treatment is generally contraindicated for her. If you find an icon with a crossed-out basin, take no chances. A thing can hopelessly sit down or become severely deformed. Most likely, she needs gentle dry cleaning.
2
If the label indicates that only hand washing is possible, prepare a solution of warm water and washing powder. Be guided by the color of things - it is better to process dark clothes with products for black fabrics, white can be washed with powder with optical brighteners. Polyester fibers are easily deformed when exposed to high temperatures. Therefore, do not wash polyester items in too hot water and never boil them. The ideal temperature for washing is 30-40 degrees.
3
If your clothes are machine washable, select the appropriate water temperature - 30-40 degrees. For non-soiled items, a quick wash mode is suitable. If there are stains on clothing, a soft stain remover can be added to the machine’s cuvette. Make sure that his labels have permission to use for all types of fabric. Do not wash colored and white things together, even if it seems to you that they are not shed.

Collars and cuffs of shirts and other contaminated places before laying in the machine can be washed with bile soap or a special liquid. Do not rub the fabric too much. Apply a little soap, smear it on the surface. Set aside for a few minutes, then wipe again, rinse and place in the drum of the washing machine.
5
If you do not want to iron long blouses or dresses made of polyester, do not dry them in the drum of the washing machine. Squeeze out the washed thing with your hands and hang it on your shoulders, placing them above the bathtub so that water drains. After drying in a straightened state, the thing can be put on without ironing. When rinsing, add conditioner to the water - it will make the fabric more pleasant to the touch and remove excess static electricity.
