Wearing clothes in good condition, without wrinkles, stains,and fading is our letter of introduction to society. Our appearance is the first impression people have of us and wearing dirty and wrinkled clothes is not ideal. However, our pace of life and daily hustle and bustle often prevent us from spending the time that a good wash or ironing requires. For this reason, from here we want to give you the six tricks to keep clothes as new when washing them and not have to waste more than just the right time on it.

6 tricks to keep clothes new 

• Avoid faded. If you suspect that one of your clothes may fade when washed, you can avoid it by first immersing it in salt water (5 tablespoons of salt per liter of water) and keeping it throughout the day and then rinsing it. Another trick that works is to leave the garment to soak for three hours with water and lemon juice. Then wash it off with lukewarm water.
• White clothes without bleach. The main component of laundry bleaching products is chlorine, a substance that is harmful both to the environment and to the fibers of our clothes. A trick to avoid using these products is to dilute a tablespoon of baking soda in water and add the mixture to the clothes (never without diluting it in water, as it could damage the fabric) and then wash with the usual program.
• Outside smells of sweat. Surely at some time you are ironing a shirt and you notice a slight smell of sweat and, after ironing it, you have to wash it again. To avoid this, mix the juice of half a lemon with the same amount of water and apply it with a cloth or sponge to the most critical areas, such as the armpit. Let the garment rest for 10 minutes and wash it normally.
• Prevent your clothes from coming out wrinkled from the washing machine. Iron He is a jerk, so there are tricks to avoid this ordeal or, at least, make it easier. For example, don’t overload the washing machine too much so that the clothes have enough space to wash well and spin. Nor should you mix light and heavy garments, for example, jeans with a blouse. Hanging wet clothes on the clothesline by strategically placing the clothespins in the seams and shaking them beforehand will, in many cases, prevent you from having to iron them. The composition of the clothing also influences a lot: if when buying a garment, it has a percentage of liras, even if it is small, you will avoid ironing. In addition, natural fibers wrinkle less, with the exception of linen and 100% cotton clothing. Finally, if you put the washing machine at a lower spin speed, the clothes will come out wetter, but less wrinkled.
• Stains out. We give you the tricks to remove some of the most frequent stains from your clothes. The oil ones are removed by throwing a little talcum powder on the stain so that it absorbs the grease. It is left to act for a day and then washed. To remove stuck gum, it is best to put the garment in the freezer and when it is solidified, remove it; the other option is to apply gasoline. Makeup or lipstick stains are also very common: apply water with vinegar on the stain and let it act for half an hour before washing it. But the stain among the most difficult stains to remove is blood. but if you apply a jet of hydrogen peroxide on it and let it act for half an hour before washing the garment, you will see how it does not resist you.
• Prevent your garments from shrinking.
