Care
Things from the smooth surface have a lot of advantages, and the disadvantages may not appear if you know about the rules for caring for things and adhere to them constantly. With proper care, the products can last a very long time and not lose their original appearance. Many are concerned about the shrinkage of tissue. But it all depends on which care methods to use. For children's things, and even more so for newborns, primary washing is recommended. Before a child puts on sliders or a vest, it is imperative to wash the product manually in warm water with baby soap.
Adult knitwear may be washed in powder; machine delicate washing is acceptable. It is advisable to use a delicate powder or a special gel, as well as wash in cool water. In any case, the temperature should not exceed 40 degrees Celsius. As for the subsequent washings, the rules are exactly the same. If the item is very dirty, you can pre-soak it in water with powder for a couple of hours, then rub it well with your hands and send it to the machine for delicate washing.
If there are stains on a dress or t-shirt, you can try removing them with a stain remover for delicate fabrics. Be sure to look carefully at the contained components. Chlorine must not be present in the stain remover. The same goes for powder. In no case should you use the one that is intended for whitening.
You should always remember that bleach can harm the material, as well as bleach containing chlorine. So you need to be careful with things from the kulirka and try not to get them dirty so that later it is impossible to wash them off with the usual methods. If these things are intended for children, then in this case you can’t get away from all kinds of pollution.And if the stain cannot be removed, you can correct the situation with some original applique or embroidery. Wring things should not be too intense. If by hand, then only slightly, in the spinning machine, select the minimum speed. If the spin is manual, then for these purposes you can use a clean white terry towel. You need to place a thing on it, and then twist it and squeeze it slightly. So excess moisture is absorbed into the towel.
Drying on a coat hanger or just upright on a dryer is not recommended. It is better to spread a clean terry towel or white sheet on the table and dry that way. After some time, the fabric needs to be replaced with a dry one, and so on until the things dry completely. It is not worth it to leave a dress or jacket on a wet towel for a long time, otherwise the thing may get an unpleasant smell of dampness, which can not be eliminated in any way, and you will have to rinse the product again and then dry it. If dried vertically, a dress or blouse may stretch out, and traces of clothespins may remain. Linen and household items can be dried in the usual way.
Iron things with care, using a minimum or medium temperature, preferably without changing them. And check first in an inconspicuous area of the product. The temperature when ironing should not exceed 110 degrees, you need to iron only from the wrong side. You need to store things in a closet on hangers or neatly folded on shelves. The advantage of many knitted things is that they practically do not crease or are resistant to this type of impact. Therefore, sometimes they do not need to be ironed at all, but rather folded onto a shelf. A ironed dress can be hung on a coat hanger. After socks, put on shoulders again.
It is necessary to take into account the factor that the cooler is prone to puffs and arrows, so you need to be careful with sharp objects, the edges of the furniture. If you follow all the simple rules, you can save the thing for a long time. Such fabric remains relevant for many years and will always be in high demand due to its good qualities and durability.
