Parents told how to wash stains from school uniforms

The summer holidays are over, the students again sat down at the desks, and the parents began the usual headache: how to wash the form, which the child manages to stain already in the first weeks of study. Traces from ballpoint pens, markers and school borscht sometimes lead to the idea that a shirt worn only three times is easier to throw away. However, this is not the case - URA.RU collected proven ways to save things at home.

It is important to understand that the older the spot, the harder it is to remove, the material notes. Children are often silent about the stained things, and parents have to fight with the already ingrained dirt. The situation is aggravated by the fabric itself: the modern form is often sewn from mixed materials with polyester, which holds the shape, but absorbs fat and coloring pigments like a sponge.

“Be sure to treat contamination locally before machine washing. Otherwise, hot water can “brew” the pigment, and the thing will be definitely spoiled, the article says.

Ink is advised to reduce with alcohol, hairspray or a mixture of ammonia with hydrogen peroxide. Traces from the grass are removed with saline solution, vinegar or gel for dishes, and gouache and watercolor are soaked in cold water with household soap. Oil paint and fresh traces from benches are removed with solvent or tar soap.

In this case, any tool should first be tested on the inner seam, so as not to spoil the color or structure of the fabric. Wash things with stains from pens and paints should be strictly at 30-40 degrees, otherwise the paint will fix; greasy spots can be washed at 60 degrees, if the label allows. A couple of spoonfuls of soda added to the compartment will soften the water and enhance the effect of the powder.
