"Throw a bag in the washer and save money and things will be cleaner." Checked a dubious life hack from the Internet
Sometimes even the best cleaner can't provide perfect cleanliness. It is even more difficult to achieve cleanliness if there are animals or small children in the house. Even after washing in a long mode, particles of wool or fragments of stuck fruit can remain on the clothes, and you have to resort to tedious washing. Is there really no way to achieve cleanliness of linen and clothes without this ancient method? Of course there is.
The most common reason why things are poorly washed, and sometimes not rinsed out, is the tight fit of clothes to each other. An original way to separate clothes in the drum, and additionally create a mechanical component that reinforces mechanical effect on the fabric during washing - put an ordinary cellophane into the drum of the washing machine package.
A package of any size and thickness is suitable for use, the main selection criterion here is the absence of printed patterns on its surface, since the paint, in case of prolonged contact with water, may lag behind the bag and leave hard-to-remove marks on fabrics.
After the clothes are sorted by color and placed in the drum, send a plastic bag there. There is no need to place it in a special way, just fold it in a free form. In the drum, things are constantly mixed, so the bag will move between items of clothing on its own. Due to the fact that the cellophane does not absorb water, the bag will not stick to the clothes, ensuring it is easy to rotate.
After that, washing powder is poured into the powder compartment or liquid detergent is poured. When using a powder, the package will contribute to its faster dissolution by mechanical action. Add fabric softener if necessary, according to the type of fabric. Set the desired temperature and duration of washing, additional options for spinning and drying, and you can turn on the wash.
After starting the wash, there is no need to control the impact of the package on the process. For a washing machine, the presence of a bag is completely safe, it even helps to remove static electricity from metal parts.
When finished washing, simply remove the bag from the drum and hang the clothes to dry. The package can be reused, for this it needs to be straightened and dried. An unopened wet bag will begin to emit an unpleasant odor after a while.
Having carefully examined the plastic bag at this stage, you can see that during washing it collected small insoluble particles that ended up in the drum. Most often, animal hair and human hair, accidentally caught on clothes, get into the bag.
This little trick will allow you to achieve perfect cleanliness when washing light-colored clothes, bed linen, children's clothes, which are most sensitive to various contaminants. Washing with a plastic bag will help in a house with animals to provide better care for home textiles.
