Anti-stain wipes

Recently, household goods stores began offering fabric wipes, which the manufacturer presents as a safe and convenient alternative to gels, powders, and other laundry detergents. They not only clean clothes but also prevent fading and color bleeding. It may sound counterintuitive, but more and more housewives are choosing special anti-stain wipes. We'll explore their benefits, their purpose, and the different types available. A mini-review of these products and a step-by-step guide with recommendations will help.

Getting to know the product

Washing cloths are an innovative household cleaning product designed to make life easier for washing machine users. They come in two types: one designed for a thorough wash, while the other prevents color fading. Despite their small size, these "rags" are capable of removing even stubborn stains from clothing, thanks to their effective and safe formula. They are based on aloe and palm extracts, concentrated phytocomplexes, non-ionic surfactants, enzymes, optical brighteners and other natural cleansing components.

One washing cloth can wash up to 5 kg of dry laundry.

As for how the wash cloths work, everything is also clear and understandable. As soon as the drum is filled with water, the active ingredients contained in the fabric begin to dissolve and penetrate the fibers of the clothes being washed. Bleaches and extracts displace impurities from within, leaving the laundry clean of organic and inorganic stains. At the same time, the fabric is softened, scented, and disinfected, while special components enhance color and shine. During the rinse cycle, all cleaning agents are quickly washed away, leaving no marks, streaks, or residue.

There's no problem dosing the cloths—one cloth is good for 5 kg of laundry. However, if your washing machine has a capacity of 3-4 kg or you frequently use partial loads, you can divide the cloth into two. The cloth is perforated for this purpose.

How to wash with napkins?

The wipes can be used for both hand and machine washing. The color and type of fabric being washed are irrelevant—the product is completely versatile. Furthermore, there's no need to sort laundry into light, colored, or dark colors, as the wipes prevent fading and, for example, prevent red from staining white. The main thing is to follow the instructions on the packaging and keep a few recommendations in mind. Using the wipes is simple. The machine-washing instructions are as follows:

• Place the required number of washing rags into the drum (at the rate of 1 napkin per 5 kg of dry laundry);
• we load things, placing them on top of the napkin;
• add powder and conditioner (if the cloth is not for washing, but only for protection against staining!);
• select the appropriate mode based on the type of fabric;
• press “Start” and start the cycle;
• at the end of washing, take out the napkin along with the laundry;
• dispose of the cloth according to the instructions.

One washing cloth is equal in quantity of active substance to 1 cap of gel or 2 measuring spoons of powder.

When hand washing, the miracle cloth is used slightly differently. First, place a piece of cloth in a basin, add water, and shake by hand until foam appears. Place the garment in the resulting highly concentrated solution and wash as usual. Then, depending on the fabric type, rinse and wring out. After use, the napkin is disposed of.

• Heitmann. Made in Germany, these cloths are considered a true color and dirt trap.

• Top House Color Stop. Another German product, made from modified viscose using the latest technology and in accordance with recommendations from leading washing machine manufacturers. This product preserves the original color of laundry thanks to special ingredients. These components trap dye that has leached into the water and prevent it from transferring to other laundry.

   Nat:

   At the beginning of the article, it states that the wipes have a safe composition, but they may contain optical brighteners! Optical brighteners are far from safe! They cause severe skin irritation and many other problems. Furthermore, they don't wash out of the fabric, but rather become embedded in its fibers. They are absolutely not suitable for use on children's clothes or those with sensitive skin.
