In a room where dazzling white tulle hangs, there is a real festive atmosphere. But with the passage of time, due to frequent washing, tulle becomes yellowish or even dirty gray. Many mistresses believe that it's time to buy new curtains. However, you can not rush to throw tulle curtains, because there are several ways to improve the appearance of the curtains, one of which is whitening tulle with hydrogen peroxide.
Let's try to figure out how to whiten tulle with peroxide.
Our industry produces a lot of products for whitening tissues: Whiteness, ACE, Vanish, Oxi Action and others. However, some of them can be used only for natural fabrics, and others - for synthetics. But the wrong choice of bleach can give tulle instead of a snow-white ugly yellowish shade.
The biggest mistake when washing tulle curtains is its bleaching without prewash. In this case, dust and dirt will penetrate into the fabric, and it will become dirty gray. After removing the curtains, shake them out, and then soak in warm water with a small amount of washing powder for half an hour. After that, the fabric is slightly squeezed and washed manually or in a washing machine. Strongly rub or twist the tulle is not worth it. After washing, the tulle must be soaked, wrapped in a towel, and hung on the cornice .
Whitening tulle at home
Resourceful housewives invented an original and very effective method of whitening tulle with a mixture of peroxide and ammonia. You can prepare a solution for this by mixing 10 liters of slightly warm water with two tablespoons of peroxide and one spoon of ammonia. The washed curtain is immersed in the solution, while the entire tissue must be completely immersed in the liquid. Only in this way the yellow stripes will not appear on the tulle. Soak the tulle in the solution for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally for a more even treatment. Then the cloth should be thoroughly rinsed.
In addition to the manual method of whitening tulle, you can use and indispensable assistant to each hostess - a washing machine. To do this, add ten hydrogen peroxide tablets to the detergent compartment and wash the tulle curtain at 40 ° C using a delicate, non-squeezed regime.
In this way, you can bleach the curtains of synthetics, nylon, polyester, yes, however, from any fabric for which the boiling is contraindicated.
