Laundry is never perfect enough! And we know that taking care of your laundry means giving it a better lifespan by preserving its quality. Also, these few simple but brilliant tips can shake up your little habits when cleaning and maintaining the machine! This will perhaps allow us to spend less on all the products whose amazing effects we are told about. Ecological and/or economical, these tips will allow impeccable laundry cleaning.
1) Preserve the color of jeans and slow down the fading phenomenon
Put a bowl of water and another of salt in a bowl and soak your jeans in it. Turn it over so that it is well soaked.
2) Remove odors from jeans
This tip offered by the Levi’s brand consists of putting the jeans in freezer bags and leaving them in the freezer. This is very handy if you tend to use too much detergent!
3) Avoid shrinkage of clothes and fading of linen
Cold wash is perfect for this. It is particularly perfect for washing jeans perfectly and keeping them for longer.
4) To remove creases from clothing when you don’t have an iron on hand
There are many great hair dryer hacks, but this is one of the best. Use a hairdryer to remove wrinkles. To do this, you can dampen the fabric if you wish to make it more effective, pull the fabric and use the hair dryer.
For collars or easy-to-access areas, a hair straightener will suffice.
5) For laundry that is whiter than white
Add 250 ml of white vinegar to the drum of the machine during the rinse cycle. Also remember to use the recipe for special white laundry detergent.
6) To keep dark colors on linen
Same thing as for the white, but add salt instead. We strongly recommend it for the first cleaning of a garment you have just purchased.
7) To clean a washing machine that has funny smells
Place a glass of mouthwash in the drum and run a rinse cycle. This will disinfect the machine and remove questionable odors.
