On the internet you can find a lot of different solutions and tips on how to remove dirt or stubborn stains. But there are some problems, which are not related to the spots. Here, our professional London cleaners share with you some common problems and the best solutions to deal with them.
Professional Tips
- If your clothes look dingy, yellow or grey, it’s a really good idea to increase the dose of detergent next time when you do your laundry or increase the temperature of the water. If this is not enough to deal with the problem, maybe the dye just bled from dark to light and you should start to sort better. Unfortunately, these clothes can’t recover their bright colour.
- The bobbles (as known as pills) are more often caused by wear. The pilling is maybe the most common problem with synthetic fabrics and can make even a new garment look like an old one. A liquid detergent should help, if you use it regularly. Removing the bobbles can damage the fabric and create holes in it. But if you are willing to risk, remove the pills with a razor.
- If you have a lint on your clothes, that means that you don’t separate lint producers from lint magnets. About such type we can give dark fabrics and synthetics as an example . It’s really easy to remove lint with a lint roller. The most common causes of lint are products such as new towels, flannel attractions and don’t forget the tissues, forgotten in your pockets.
Bonus Tip
If the iron leaves ugly brown stains on your fabrics or its scorched bottom stick to your clothes, don’t hurry to purchase a new iron, because you can fix it. All you need to clean your iron is some white vinegar.
Step 1: Make a mixture of 50/50 white vinegar and water.
Step 2: Pour the solution into the iron’s water chamber.
Step 3: Turn on the iron and set it on “steam” function.
Step 4: Place a soft rag in the ironing table and iron the rag in order to clean out the steam ports.
Step 5: Before unplugging the iron, allow it to sit in an upright position for about five minutes.
Step 6: Let the iron cool, then empty all of the vinegar-water solution.
Step 7: Pour clean water into the iron’s water chamber and repeat the whole procedure.
Step 8: Rinse well the inside of your iron.
Step 9: To restore the original condition of your iron’s scorched plate, cleaners London recommend that you mix in a pan 50/50 salt and white distilled vinegar, then heat the mixture.
Step 10: Get a cloth and rub the dirty bottom of your iron. Ensure that the iron is cool enough before starting cleaning.
Following these simple steps you’ll restore the original condition of your iron and save a lot of money on buying a new one. To keep your iron ports clean, professional cleaners London advise you to avoid pouring hard water into your iron’s water chamber. If you live in an area with hard water, then boil water then fill the water chamber.
