The summer vacations are in full swing. Children spend a great deal of time at camps, in pools, on the beach, or at home. But summer activities also bring a ton of laundry. There are always dirty clothes to wash, whether they’re shirts stained from sweat or clothes stained from spilled ice-cream. How do you manage the laundry?
Check the instructions on your label for the manufacturer before you start washing summer clothing. This will include the right temperature, drying recommendations, and whether it’s possible to wash the clothes in a machine.
Clothing Material
Be sure to pay attention to fabric type. The summer clothing is made up of light, thin materials. Pay attention to the type. To preserve fibers, you can wash your polyester garments with the Easy-Care option and turn them inside out. He also said that it is best to use only powder and no fabric softener when washing polyester clothes.
Motello said that fabrics like silk or satin should be cleaned in a delicate cycle and rinsed with cold water. Use the delicates/silk washing program for the fabric type and use delicate detergents to keep the softness and shine of the fabric. If you’re not sure of the type of fabric, you can choose one of the default programs that come with most washing machines, such as Easy Care or Hand Wash, both of which work for a variety of fabrics.
Summer’s best items
Towels can be very useful in the summer when you are going to the beach, the pool or the shower. Towels are multi-fiber and have an extra thick material. Wash them at 60°C in your first wash to ensure they stay soft. The label should be followed and the washer not overloaded.
The manual washing program is best for the swimsuits. They are very handy in summer. Towels can be dried using a tumble-dryer with the “towel” program selected on the programme selector.
How about the stains themselves? Motlo says that “hair shampoo is one of the most effective methods to remove sweat stains caused by heat and humidity.” It is best to dilute the shampoo with water and make a paste. After applying the shampoo, thoroughly dry the clothing and then wash it as you normally would in the washer.
It is important to remove stains as soon as possible.
