How to wash clothes correctly in winter?

In winter, the temperature is low and the weather is cold. Many people wear thick clothes, such as warm sweaters, cotton-padded clothes and down jackets, but these clothes are difficult to clean. So how to wash clothes in winter? The following is the correct way to wash clothes in winter that I share. Let's have a look.

How to wash clothes correctly in winter

First, the washing machine washes down jackets.

1, regional hand washing: front and back of down jacket cuff neckline? It's usually dirty. Besides, it's cold in winter, so we often put our hands in our pockets. Because of frequent friction with cuffs, the pocket mouth is also easy to get dirty. You can put soap on it and gently wash it with a soft brush to squeeze out the water. After the area is treated, it can be put into a washing machine for washing.

2. High water level: The down jacket itself is large, so it needs to set a high water level to achieve full contact between clothes and washing liquid.

3, less foam: cloud-like white marks that are easy to leave after washing down jackets are common problems. In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the washing powder is not clean. The down jacket should be rinsed at least three times, but it absorbs a lot of water, so it is really not easy to rinse it thoroughly. Therefore, it is recommended to use low foaming detergent or special laundry detergent for down jackets that is easy to rinse.

4. Mild dehydration: We sometimes hear that the down jacket is dehydrated by the washing machine, causing an explosion. This is because the wind-proof fabric used in down jackets is relatively dense, so it is not easy to seep when dehydrated, and the moisture in the clothes is severely squeezed, which eventually leads to an explosion. Therefore, when machine washing, you must set a soft gear. Even if the dehydration is not complete, it doesn't matter. You can hang it indoors to dry naturally. The washed down jacket is uneven in thickness because it is not completely dried. After drying, it can be restored to a fluffy state with a pat.

5, can not be ironed: down jacket fabric is thin, not high temperature resistant, absolutely can not be ironed.

I remind: Before washing down jackets, all zippers should be pulled up and set up. In addition, frequent washing will destroy the thermal insulation medium of down jackets, so it is best to minimize the washing times on the premise of keeping them clean.

Second, the washing machine washing sweater tips

1, the water temperature should be appropriate: sweater, the water temperature should not exceed 30℃ when cleaning, it is recommended not to use washing powder. You can choose a special detergent for sweaters, mix it with warm water, add it as appropriate according to the dirty condition of sweaters, gently rub it after soaking, repeat this several times, then rinse it with clear water and dehydrate it 1-2 minutes.

2. Don't use a hanger to dry: If possible, dry the dehydrated sweater at 80℃. If it is dried at room temperature, it is best not to use a clothes hanger, but to hang it through the sleeve with a clotheshorse or lay it flat and put it in a cool and ventilated place.

3. Don't rub when washing: turn out the inner layer of the clothes, immerse it in the completely dissolved detergent for five minutes, and slowly squeeze the clothes until they are soaked. Don't rub them. Wash it with warm water first, then with cold water until it is clean.

4, add vinegar to prevent aging: when washing, you can add some vinegar to warm water to prevent clothes from getting old.

5. How to deal with wrinkles: There are annoying wrinkles on the sweater. You can adjust the steam electric iron to low temperature and iron it at a distance of 1~2cm from the sweater. You can also put a towel on the sweater and iron it, so it won't hurt the wool fibers and leave no hot marks.

6. How to deal with hairballs: Hairballs are formed by long-term friction of short hairs on sweaters. Under normal circumstances, when you see wool balls, you will feel that the quality of sweaters is not good. In fact, it is a sign of the quality of sweaters. Soft and good quality clothes are easy to pilling, which means good quality sweaters are easy to pilling. Hairballs visible to the naked eye can be cut off with scissors. Never tear off the wool ball on the sweater by force, which will easily damage the wool.

How to wash clothes in winter without hurting your hands

Wear gloves

Choose a few gloves for both hands, and wear thick and wear-resistant work gloves when lifting heavy objects or carrying rough things; Wear rubber gloves when touching liquids, such as detergent, washing powder, liquid, etc. You should wear soft and warm gloves when you go out in cold weather.

Adjust your daily diet

Foods rich in vitamins A and E, zinc and selenium, such as green vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, seafood, almonds and carrots, should be fully ingested on weekdays to avoid dry skin. In addition, we should pay attention to the intake of calcium, copper and other nutrients, because once the body lacks calcium and copper, it will lead to dull nails, fragile and easy to break, which will affect the bodybuilding of hands. Foods with high calcium content are: milk, bean products, seafood, green fruits and vegetables; Foods rich in copper are: animal liver, shellfish, hard fruits, bean products and dark fruits and vegetables.

Do finger exercises

When you watch TV or take the bus in your spare time, you might as well do some simple finger exercises, such as imitating the action of playing the piano and making your fingers move repeatedly one by one, which can not only exercise your hand joints, but also shape your hand shape. Hold hands regularly to promote blood circulation and prevent hand edema. It is best to apply * * * cream or olive oil when * * *, grasp both sides of the fingers of the other hand with the thumb and forefinger of one hand, and gently pull from the root of the fingers to the fingertips. Do it two or three times with each finger, alternating with your left hand and right hand.

Standing hand cream

Choosing the right hand cream for maintenance in winter is a very effective method. Apply it in time after washing hands every time to replenish water and nutrition. In addition, the choice of hand cream is also particular. If the skin on the back of the hand has a tight feeling and a small amount of fine lines, it is advisable to choose some mild hand cream containing glycerin and minerals; People with sensitive dry skin should choose hand creams containing soothing ingredients, such as mint and chamomile, and humectants, such as glycerin.

After doing housework with a dishcloth soaked with detergent, you need to wash your hands with lemonade or vinegar to remove the alkaline substances left in the detergent on the skin surface, and then apply hand cream.

Trim your nails often.

Trimmed nails can prevent dirt from accumulating between fingers and damage the beauty of hands. In addition, doing less imitation nails is also a measure to protect our hands. First, it is vulnerable to bacteria and viruses; Second, nail materials will make nails thinner and weaken their strength. From the perspective of hand protection and hand health, it is better to simulate nails less.

Add hot water before washing.

It is suggested to raise the water temperature to about 30 degrees, so that hands don't have to worry about freezing, and it is also convenient for detergent or washing powder to be fully dissolved.

Matters needing attention in winter laundry

First of all, don't plug the power supply when your hands are wet, so as to avoid the danger of electric shock. In fact, we should pay attention to this in winter and summer.

Secondly, because winter clothes are big and thick, personal items are particularly easy to leave in clothes pockets, such as lighters commonly used by men. If the washing machine has a drying function, there may be a danger of explosion during drying. During the washing process, hard objects such as coins may splash into the inner cylinder of the washing machine, thus damaging the washing machine. Therefore, careful consumers must carefully check whether there are the above items in their pockets before washing.

In addition, because clothes are worn for a long time in winter and are dirtier than clothes in summer, some consumers are used to adding more detergent to clean clothes. Doing so is particularly easy to cause the washing machine to be washed uncleanly, leaving excess detergent on the clothes. Cleaning agents are mostly alkyl benzene compounds, which pose a great threat to the panel and liver. Therefore, it is forbidden to add too much detergent when washing clothes in winter, and consumers should put it in moderation according to the amount of clothes.

Finally, due to the cold weather in winter, many consumers refuse to wash clothes by hand and throw underwear, coats and even socks into the washing machine to save trouble. This seems to save trouble, save water and electricity, but it is actually laying the foundation for health. Mixed washing of clothes is easy to cause cross-contamination, especially close-fitting clothes. Excessive bacterial residues will directly affect health. Therefore, even if the water temperature is very cold in winter, consumers are advised to wash underwear and socks by hand, especially women's underwear, not with the coat.
