The smell of alcohol will disappear after a while.

Gasoline and acetone

Acceptable types of washing shirts made from different fabrics

Shirts are made from different fabrics from here and the question arises - how to properly care for them so that they do not lose their shape and color.

Can a cotton shirt be machine washed? Yes, you can. For this type of fabric, both automatic and handwash. However, the product may lose a little in size, by about 5%, and nothing can be done about it.

For silk shirts, hand wash only and without pre-soaking is provided. Temperature: no more than 30 °C.

A wool shirt is less finicky - it can be washed in a washing machine or by hand. However, the machine must have a washing mode for products made from this type of fabric. A woolen shirt should not be wrung out too much.

Things are no simpler with shirts from artificial materials. If we are talking about viscose, for example, then it is better to wash by hand and only in cool water, otherwise expect the fabric to shrink by about 7%.

But if the product is synthetic, for example, elastane or lycra, you can safely put the item in the washing machine and wash it at 40 °C.

It is important to use the appropriate detergent for each type of fabric.

Cotton shirts can be washed with any powder; silk and wool can only be washed by special means, and for artificial and synthetic shirts, use mild detergents.

Preparing for washing

Before you start washing men's shirts, you need to prepare them. The first thing to do is sort things by color.

After all, white and colored linen are washed separately. A white shirt may become stained by a colored item and be ruined.

It is also necessary to carefully study the label of the shirt, because not all items can be washed in a machine.

If there are no restrictions, then you should look for complex stains and treat them manually, for example, with a stain remover.

Remember, a washing machine may not be able to handle serious stains on its own.

Then you need to fasten all the buttons on the shirt. This simple procedure allows you to avoid unnecessary deformation of items during washing.

And of course, don’t forget to look in your pockets, in case there is money, a card or other small items lying around. If you find trash, shake it out.

Pre-soak

It is safer to soak the shirt before washing. After all, this procedure will help to cope with the most difficult stains on the collar, cuffs and armpits.

By the way, in some washing machines There is a “soaking” mode and it’s easier to use it. If there is no such regime, then feel free to take a basin and detergent.

Must be diluted in hot water soap shavings or powder, then immerse the product in water. In this case, wash the contaminated areas (collar, etc.) separately with laundry soap, after moistening them with water.

After about an hour, the shirt can be washed. By the way, a solution of salt and ammonia will also help fight complex stains. You just need to add a few drops to the water.

How to wash shirts in a washing machine

Washing shirts seems to be a common task only at first glance, but if you look at it, it turns out that this process requires certain instructions:

It is necessary to observe the temperature regime. Unless, of course, you want to damage the material of the product. The optimal temperature for shirt fabric is usually indicated on the label, but it should still not exceed 40°C.
If you don't know what temperature setting will suit your shirt, choose a "delicate wash".
For colored and dark items, liquid powder is better. Use this instead of regular powder, as liquid powder washes out better.
Wringing out shirts better with your hands, machine spinning can deform them. At the same time, try not to twist things too much, otherwise they may lose their appearance and stretch.
Shirts should be dried as far as possible from heating appliances. And if you put them on hangers, then after drying they will be easier to iron.

How to wash a white shirt

White fabric is the most problematic to wear and care for. For light-colored items, hand washing is better, and shirts are no exception in this regard.

You can add 1 more tbsp. a spoonful of hydrogen peroxide (10 ml 3%). Take the shirt out and wring it out a little. Now you can apply salt and soda with peroxide to problem areas. Place the item in a basin for 20 minutes (without water). Then rinse and you are ready to wash.
For this method you need to take 0.5 cups of white vinegar and add it to 1 liter of warm water. Then place the shirt in the solution for 40 minutes. Allow time and rinse. If the stain does not disappear, repeat the procedure.

Reference. White vinegar removes not only traces of sweat, but also unpleasant odors.

Lemon will also help whiten sweat stains and disinfect. To do this, apply the juice of 1 lemon to the stained area and wait 40 minutes. After this, the item can be washed. In addition, the lemon can also be cut into slices or circles and placed in a basin. Then add 1 tbsp. l. hydrogen peroxide and pour warm water. Immerse the shirt in liquid for 1 hour, then you can rinse and wash.

Attention! Traces of sweat are most easily washed off in soft water. To soften, you can use soda or vinegar in small quantities.

Blood stains can be removed with white table vinegar. Moisten the contaminated area generously and leave it for 30 minutes. If the item is dirty in several places, dilute 9% vinegar in cold water in a ratio of 1:2 and soak the clothes for at least 10 minutes, then rub the fabric well and wash as usual. If necessary, the procedure can be repeated.

Vinegar works best to remove traces of blood within the first 24 hours. After this period, the proteins “curdle” and brown or yellow stains may remain on the clothes even after washing.

AMMONIA

Ammonia creates an alkaline environment on the fabric, which changes the structure of molecules and helps remove traces of organic origin. Treat blood stains with a solution of ammonia (1 part alcohol to 2 parts water) and leave for half an hour.

This method is suitable for removing even old stains from biological fluids: blood, sweat and urine.

COCA COLA

If you stain your clothes with blood away from home, the easiest way to quickly remove the stain is to treat it with Coca-Cola (fortunately, the drink can be bought at any store). Yes, the clothes will still not be clean after the procedure, but it is much easier to wash cola from the fabric. For best results, soak soiled clothing in Coca-Cola overnight.

AEROSOL LUBRICANT WD-40

This American aerosol product works real miracles in everyday life. So, with its help you can remove not only blood stains from fabric, but also lipstick, dirt, grease or ink. Apply a small amount directly to the stain, wait a few minutes and wash with powder.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

This method only works on fresh stains. Apply a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution directly to the stain, wait a little, rinse the fabric well in clean water and wash the item as usual.

But: hydrogen peroxide destroys fabric fibers, so you shouldn’t leave it on for more than five minutes.

CORN STARCH

Dissolve cornstarch with cold water until it becomes a paste. Apply it to the stain and gently rub into the surface. Place your clothes in direct sunlight and leave them there until they dry completely. After this, sweep away the remaining starch with a stiff brush.

If the stain is not completely removed, repeat the entire procedure again. But, if the traces are fresh, once is enough.

TALC

To remove blood stains from clothing or furniture, prepare a paste of talcum powder diluted with water and apply it to the stained area. Once dry, remove excess powder with a cloth or brush and rinse the area with clean water.

COLD SALT WATER

This method has been known since the time of our grandmothers, and it still works. In hot water, the protein coagulates and is firmly attached to the fabric, so only cold water. Salt attracts impurities and acts as a gentle scrub.

Once you find a stain, wet it with cold water and sprinkle liberally with salt. It will dissolve before your eyes in a matter of seconds. To be sure, soak the item in salt water (1 tablespoon of salt per 1 liter of water) for 3-4 hours, and then wash with a suitable detergent.
