Those housewives who have kapron curtains probably know that after several years of use such curtains acquire an ugly gray or yellowish shade. And ordinary washing can not be fixed. However, do not rush to acquire new curtains. There are several folk ways how to wash and bleach kapron tulle at home. Let's find out about the most popular ones.
What can be bleached nylon tulle?
First of all, I want to say that bleach kapron tulle is possible only after the curtain from the capron is well washed. Otherwise, all the dirt is tightly embedded in the fabric and then no bleach will help. Therefore, having removed the curtain from the window, shake it well. Then soak for half an hour in warm water with detergent, then spread in the usual way. However, remember that the water temperature should not be above 30 ° C. And only after having thoroughly cleaned the nylon curtain, one can start to bleach it.
In the event that you have never used industrial bleaches, then for bleaching nylon you can use, for example, powder from Frau Martha, Boss or Vanish Oxi. Use such bleaches should be strictly according to the instructions.
If the use of factory tools for bleaching kapron had no effect, you can use a very effective folk remedy: ammonia and hydrogen peroxide . To do this, you need to dissolve one tablespoon of ammonia in a bucket of warm water and two tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide. Kapron tulle is immersed in a solution and, stirring, we stand in it for about 30 minutes. Now we must thoroughly rinse the blind. To squeeze water out of it, you can wrap the cloth in a towel. After that, a moist nylon tulle can be hung on the cornice, where it will crack down under its weight, so that ironing the curtains will not be needed.
As practice shows, it is possible to whiten kapron tulle from yellowness with the help of ordinary greens . To make the nylon shade again snow-white, dissolve 10-15 drops of a diamond green in a glass of water. Allow the solution to settle, and if there is no sediment left on the bottom of the glass, you can use a bleach solution. Otherwise, not completely dissolved green can paint your shade in green, and very unevenly. In the rinse water, pour out the resulting mixture, rinse it with tulle and wean the fabric, trying not to twist and deform it. After such a procedure, nylon tulle will have a fresh and clean appearance.
The same bleaching nylon tulle can be done with blue . During the last rinse, add a little blue in the water and rinse the shade for 2-3 minutes. Now rinse the cloth thoroughly in clean water. To avoid blue stains on the fabric, the solution must be stirred well beforehand.
Many experienced housewives for bleaching nylon tulle use ordinary table salt . Bleaching can be done in two ways. According to the first of them it is necessary to take hot water and dissolve in it 2-3 st. spoons of salt, adding detergent powder to the solution. Soak in this mixture kapron for about three hours. You can even leave for the whole night, and in the morning to spread curtains and very well rinse. By the second method, we dissolve in warm water 1-2 tbsp. tablespoons of salt. In this solution we soak the spun nylon tulle for 20 minutes. Now without rinsing it is necessary to wring out the curtain lightly and hang it.
As you can see, there are many ways to bleach kapron tulle. Use one of them, and your curtain will again get a white look.
