Boiling is a great way to restore the original whiteness and freshness of things and remove complex impurities. You can use it before or after washing if stains remain on the fabrics. Before you begin this lesson, carefully prepare the necessary equipment and tools for removing stains. So that everything goes at the highest level, the linen shines with cleanliness and most importantly, you do not harm things, it is important to follow some rules:

  • To boil in advance, prepare a large enameled container - a bucket or pan with a volume of about 10 liters.
  • Use it exclusively for this purpose, it is unacceptable to wash or store food in a container afterwards - this can harm the health of your family.
  • Before boiling the laundry, carefully study the labels on the clothes (they indicate the composition of the fabric and the washing temperature) in order to make sure that they can be washed at high temperatures.
  • It is recommended to boil only products made from natural fabrics - cotton and linen.
  • Soak very contaminated things in warm water with the addition of detergents.
  • You can also boil clean things. They are boiled in order to disinfect or restore the original whiteness.
  • Pour the selected detergents immediately into cold or slightly warm water, grate the laundry soap first and mix thoroughly.
  • Load the laundry in a ready-made solution, but at the very beginning of the procedure. You can not put things in already boiling water, so the spots will not only not be washed away, but will become even more gorged.
  • During the boiling process, mix things periodically so that they are cooked evenly.
  • After the solution with linen begins to boil, reduce the heat, otherwise the foam will fall out of the bucket and fill the stove.
  • Dry the fabrics in the fresh air from the sunny side - and they will get a pleasant aroma.
  • All while the linen is boiling, leave the window open - ventilate the room so as not to breathe chemistry.
