How to remove shine from the iron on clothes?

In the modern world, we no longer imagine life without some of the things of our civilization. For example, without an iron. It is unlikely to look elegant and well-groomed without the use of this extremely useful invention.

We use it almost every day, and it often happens that after using the iron, gloss remains on the clothes, light beige or brown marks on light clothes, and the appearance of other spots after ironing. But the iron is not always to blame.

There may be several.

• Wrong temperature when ironing a specific product. Often we don’t notice what mark the regulator is at, sometimes it seems to us that it doesn’t matter. Conclusion - always set only the correct temperature and steaming mode according to the recommendations.
• The uncleaned sole of the iron, as a result of which it leaves tan and spots. If there are scorched spots on the sole of the iron, then at the most crucial moment this dirt from the iron will fall onto things. The conclusion is to remove everything from the surface of the iron. There are special pencils for cleaning, as well as many folk ways.

• Use of untreated water. This is especially true in areas with unfavorable drinking water, rich in sediments and heavy metals. Ideal - distilled or filtered water.
• Ironing things that are not completely rinsed in the washing machine, with powder residue. Do not sprinkle powder more than necessary. A lot of powder - does not mean that washing will be better.

It is not always possible to get rid of a stain. When the thread is burned, it is unlikely to succeed. In general, it all depends on the age of the spot (the earlier you start to remove after the appearance, the more likely a positive effect), on the type of fabric.

If you can choose other clothes, then this is better to wash immediately.

If the stain with gloss is small, you can try to steam it. To do this, put a towel on the ironing board, clothes on it, and gauze moistened and folded in several layers on top. Instead of gauze, you can use paper. Iron with a light touch to the surface of the gauze until the gloss disappears. For cotton fabrics it's just a godsend!

In order to remove gloss from dark costume fabrics, the following remedy will help:

1. put pants or a skirt on the ironing board;
2. dip a gauze section in our solution (1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water) and squeeze;
3. put on the thing and smooth until the gloss is completely removed.

There is also a technique for removing shiny marks with black tea. It is suitable only for dark fabrics, because tea dyes fabrics in brown. A moistened swab in tightly brewed tea needs to be processed all the shiny places.

In order to remove tan marks from light things, you will need vinegar and salt. The procedure is as follows:

• dilute vinegar with water in equal proportions (vinegar standard 9%);
• moisten the stain with vinegar, rub a little with a sponge;
• then you need a sorbent - take the salt, sprinkle it on top and leave for a while.

You can also remove tan marks from light tissue using boric acid. To do this, it must be mixed in equal proportions with warm water. Using a brush or sponge, apply to the fabric, gently rub and leave for 15 minutes. After that, stuff the thing.

If there is no boric acid, you can cope with pollution with lemon juice and salt. It is well known that citric acid has a whitening effect. Apply lemon juice to the item, gently rub and sprinkle with Extra fine salt. After 40-60 minutes, the stain can be stained.

With dark costume and light fabrics sorted out. Consider how to deal with delicate fabrics such as silk.

Soda will help clean silk. To do this, stir one teaspoon of soda in a cup of warm water. Wet the gauze cut in this solution. And we iron the fabric by applying a gauze cut in several layers on it. The stains go away relatively quickly and without damage to the tissue.

There is another way with soda, it is longer, but equally effective. It is necessary to mix soda and water to make slurry. Water should be warm. Apply gruel to the stain and leave to dry. After drying, gently brush the tan spot with a sponge, and then shake off the soda.

Then ammonia, peroxide and onions will come to our aid.

In warm water (we take about 1 liter), add ammonia, about half a tablespoon, and liquid soap, we take it very little. Then it’s very easy - we wipe the piece of fabric we need, then iron it with a gauze cut.

With a cut of the bulb, rub the burned spot and leave for some time. After washing as usual.

This recipe is only suitable for white things, as peroxide has whitening properties. Apply hydrogen peroxide to the stain and rub with a sponge. All spots are removed from the edge to the center, so as not to increase the area of ​​the spot. After the thing is stained.

If the thing is colored, then you can clean it with hydrogen peroxide, only 1%. The durability of the fabric is better to check for inconspicuous revenge in the wrong part of the product.

Sour milk and yogurt will cope with seared threads on this type of tissue. Mix sour milk with warm water (1: 2). Sponge rub the stain and leave for several hours. Beginning housewives should know that the spot is always cleaned from its edges to the center, so as not to increase its area. After the thing wash.

A soap solution will help to remove the gloss.

To get rid of shine on this type of fabric, use a soap solution. You can use both household and ordinary toilet soap. Rub the shining places with a sponge dampened in soapy water, and then stroke the thing with a gauze cut. It should be borne in mind that the solution should not be made too soapy, because after drying, soap stains can remain on the clothes. This recipe is suitable for plain and for colored and dark fabrics.

With stubborn stains, you can try to fight with gasoline. The stain should be rubbed with a sponge dipped in gasoline, sprinkled with plenty of salt and left to dry. Well, in the end, wash the thing. This method is more aggressive, so everyone makes a decision on its use independently.

If the above methods did not help, you can use the services of dry cleaning. However, it should be remembered that in some cases, if at home a method that was not appropriate for the type of tissue or the active substance was used was more than normal, the stain “seals”, and even dry cleaning with its removal will not help.
