For more effective and high-quality washing of clothes, we offer the following tips:
- The first washing of any thing in the washing machine should be done with a pre-soaking. Soak the thing in warm water, the temperature of which is not higher than the corresponding icon - the label for washing on the label. The thing needs to be soaked for 4-6 hours, then washed in the usual way. This procedure allows you to maintain the brightness of colors on clothes for a longer time.
- When hand washing, things should be lowered into the pelvis only after all the powder has dissolved completely.
- If the temperature label is 95 degrees on the label and there is a corresponding marking (there is no underscore), this means that the item can be boiled. Boil things separately, by sorting them by color. The boiling procedure allows longer to keep white things white and is an additional measure of disinfection.
- Wiping things out in a typewriter, you should not stack them too tightly. When things are compacted, they do not wash properly, even if the landlady follows all the instructions for washing clothes.
- That jeans last longer, when washing in a typewriter they should be turned inside out. This rule is not specified on any of the icons for washing clothes, but it allows you to extend the life of your jeans in almost two times.
- Get rid of stains and yellowness is well helped by folk remedies - soda, lemon juice, boric acid and many others. Use these tools should only be done by hand washing. Otherwise, you can spoil the washing machine.

In addition, for special clothing in most cases, special detergents are used, which can have a disastrous effect on other things. There is a special washing instruction for each type of overalls, which is usually not indicated on the label. You can familiarize with it at the factory or factory, which gives out overalls, in the printed form.
