Today, automatic washing machines cope with washing almost any thing. Different programs are designed for cotton, synthetics, wool. Delicate wash is a special mode with a lower temperature of water, a large amount of water and reduced spinning speed of the drum. About in what cases and how to use the careful program correctly, we will tell in the article.

Delicate wash in the washing machine. Why is she needed?

The most important thing for which this mode is needed is to preserve the shape, color of delicate fabrics, protect them from shrinkage and deformation. It has less effect on the fibers and their structure, allows you to extend the life of clothes, and prevent things from shedding.

Attention to the label

While the thing is new, deal with the icons on its label. They will help you choose the right program for washing delicate items, and clothes will last longer. If the information is lost, then remember the types of fabrics that should be washed exclusively on a gentle program:

• Wool, cashmere (if there is no separate program for them);
• Silk;
• Organza, chiffon, guipure;
• Atlas;
• Lycra;
• Viscose;
• Polyester;
• Elastane.

If you find it difficult to determine the type of material, then choose the delicate wash mode for things of bright colors, complex styles, with embossed elements and decorative details.

General rules for gentle machine washing

If you are interested in knowing in more detail what delicate washing in a washing machine means, remember the following. In different units, it is carried out a little differently, but always follows the following rules:

• This mode uses a large amount of water. This is necessary to minimize the friction of things on the drum;
• The delicate program means using a lower water temperature;
• As a rule, no more than 40s. At this temperature, things shed less;
• Lower drum speed. It also wears things out less;
• Reduced wash time. Usually no more than 1-1.5 hours;
• Less intense spin. Sometimes the delicate wash mode does not involve spinning things at all.

When choosing washing machine pay attention to whether there is a separate washing program for delicate items. Sometimes manufacturers refuse it, replacing it with wool or hand washing modes.

What to do if there is no delicate program in the car

Sometimes manufacturers refuse gentle mode, believing that you can get by with a program for wool and manual processing. Read the instructions and find out what temperatures and drum speeds are used for the listed modes. If none of them are suitable, you can manually adjust the parameters:

• Set the water heating temperature to 30C;
• Turn on the extra rinse;
• Turn the spin to a lower speed or turn it off completely;
• When putting things in the drum, first put them in a special bag.

Delicate washing in the machine excludes the use of the drying mode for clothes.

By following them, you will keep the original look of your favorite things for a long time:

• Always sort things by color. This applies to all types of fabrics;
• Items made of pure wool should not spend too long in water. This leads to their deformation;
• Thin delicate fabrics should be washed at a temperature not exceeding 40C;
• If you refuse machine wringing, then you need to squeeze things out with your hands as carefully as possible. Do not twist them, hang them up and let the water drain;
• When you wash delicate fabrics by hand, do not rub too hard or you will damage the fiber structure. It is better to soak for a few minutes, and then rinse;
• You can iron delicate fabrics only from the inside, using steam. Woolen clothes can only be ironed through a damp cloth.

What products to use for delicate fabrics

Ordinary powder has a detrimental effect on delicate fabrics, especially wool and silk. Buy a special product for natural fabrics. It is better if it is a liquid remedy.

Detergents with enzymes are not at all suitable for washing delicate items. Enzymes fight strong pollution, they break down protein molecules. Since wool and silk are of natural animal origin, they are damaged by enzymes. There will be no holes in the fabric, but if you use the product with enzymes constantly, this will lead to thinning of the fibers.

The product for delicate fabrics should contain surfactants, fabric softeners and water.

To eliminate stains on thin and delicate fabrics, bleaches and stain removers, as well as intensive mode, cannot be used. For this purpose, you need a special stain remover, and first try its action on an inconspicuous area, and preferably on a piece of fabric. It is better to wash clothes with stains separately from other things.

Not every thing, like jeans or a tapestry bedspread, is able to forgive certain mistakes in washing. In order for your favorite outfits and underwear to keep their appearance, as they say, from the needle, they need delicate care. Fortunately, modern technology almost completely relieves us of the need to wash "capricious" things by hand, since it is difficult to find a washing machine today that does not have at least one program that allows you to wash clothes carefully. Our task is to remember the rules for washing delicate items: prepare them for "water procedures", choose the necessary detergent and gentle mode. Ready to delve into the intricacies?

What items need a delicate wash?

Let's look into the laundry basket and start sorting: items made of wool, silk, cashmere, thin fabrics (organza, guipure, satin, lace, chiffon), with rich decor and complex, voluminous cut (sequins, rhinestones, ruffles, folds, pleating). Also among the sissies are membrane tissues, microfiber, thermal underwear, outfits with a bright but unstable coloring or pattern, for example, printed on fabric, as is the case with T-shirts.

Whether this or that thing needs a delicate wash, labels with washing signs that the manufacturing factory is obliged to sew in will always tell you. If you cut them off, be guided by your own discretion: “sissies” are contraindicated in washing temperatures above 30-40 degrees, the usual universal powder and maximum spin.

Means for delicate washing

Things that require a special washing regime, and detergents need special ones. On the shelves of stores with household chemicals, such gels, conditioners and powders have various marks indicating their usefulness for delicate care for clothes and underwear. These products do not contain aggressive chemical components (phosphates, chlorine and other bleaching ingredients) that can ruin your favorite outfits - they protect the fibers and color of the fabric, make it softer and softer.

It is also necessary to use mesh bags for washing - they prevent the deformation of things and damage to their decor, the appearance of pellets, hooks and puffs, help to "organize" small items, preventing them from getting lost in larger counterparts.

Features of the delicate wash mode

This mode can be called differently depending on the brand and model of the machine: “Delicate wash”, “Gentle wash”, “Hand wash”, “Delicate fabrics” or specialized “Wool”, “Silk”. But the general principles of caring for the sissies of your wardrobe in the washing machine are the same. Firstly, washing takes place in a large amount of water in order to reduce the friction of things in the drum against each other and rinse the detergent more thoroughly. Secondly, the washing temperature does not exceed 30, less often 40 degrees Celsius, which prolongs the life of the color of the linen. Thirdly, the drum movements are slower and smoother. Fourthly, spinning is either not performed at all, or occurs at minimum speed (400-600 per minute) so that things do not stretch out and lose decorative elements. Please refer to your machine's instructions for details of the delicate wash cycle in your machine.

Home liquid gel

You can prepare the gel at home. It is more economical, affordable and safe way washing. However, such analogues do not give a 100% result and cannot always eliminate stains. Therefore, experts recommend using purchased and home remedies in turn.

Homemade liquid laundry gels do not contain surfactants, so they are completely environmentally friendly and safe. Such products are distinguished by availability and low cost, easy preparation and hypoallergenicity. They do not leave odors, work in a warm and hot water. But it is not recommended to wash at temperatures below 40 degrees, otherwise the composition will not have the desired effect.

In addition, the soap or soap solution in the home remedy is deposited in the filter, tub, drain, and hoses of the washing machine. This disrupts the operation of the washing drum, clogs the holes and can damage the machine.

Even with the addition of soda, which reduces the amount of soap suds, and with regular cleaning of the machine, the risk of breakage still remains. Therefore, it is better to use homemade gels for hand wash.

How to make gel at home

• The traditional way of making laundry gel involves the use of soap, soda ash and water. Take 200 grams of soap soda, as well as about three liters of water. Soap, you can choose laundry, tar or antibacterial. Rub a piece of soap on a fine grater, pour half the volume of water and put on the stove. Heat, stirring regularly, but do not bring to a boil! When the soap dissolves, pour in the remaining water and sprinkle with baking soda. Continue heating and stirring the mass. It is important that the soda is completely dissolved, otherwise it will leave light stains on the clothes after washing. Cover the prepared mass with a lid and leave for a day. Then pour into convenient containers and use the product as needed.
• Another cooking method is the use of soda, soap and dry borax. To do this, take 300 grams of each component and five liters of water. Grate a piece on a coarse grater and put in 0.5 liters of water. Heat the mixture until smooth and add the rest of the ingredients, stirring constantly. Then carefully pour in the remaining water and heat with regular stirring until warm and even. The mixture is covered with a lid, left for a day and poured into a storage container.
• When washing colored items, a teaspoon of fine salt is added to the gel prepared according to one of the methods described above. This will protect the bright color. And for softness of products, wine or white vinegar is added to the water when rinsing instead of fabric softener. When washing in a typewriter, 100 ml of vinegar is added to the conditioner compartment.

Application of liquid washing gel

The use of the gel does not require pre-soaking clothes. You can immediately pour the product on the stain and put things to wash in the machine. In addition, it is more efficient to pour the gel directly into the drum, and not into the detergent compartment. They wash things even in cold water.

But we note that gels can only be used for washing in a washing machine, since only it can activate the necessary components in the composition of the product. Therefore, you need to use a traditional free-flowing powder for hand washing. To reduce the aggressive effect of such products, choose phosphate-free eco-friendly powders.

In addition, due to the gentle gentle action, the gels will not be able to cope with strong and difficult dirt or old stains. In this case, you will also need a classic washing powder. Experts recommend using various means for washing.
