How to prevent wardrobe and wardrobe clothes from getting moldy

Remove musty smell from clothes

When you smell a musty smell from the clothes in the closet, you can add two spoons of white vinegar and half a bag of milk to the clean water in the washing tub, and put the clothes in Soak the clothes in specially prepared laundry water for 10 minutes, allowing the vinegar and milk to absorb the musty smell on the clothes. Then rinse up and down, rub left and right, and finally rinse with clean water. The musty smell will be gone.

If you are in a hurry to go out and don’t have time to use this method to remove the musty smell, you can also try using a hair dryer to remove the musty smell:

Hang the clothes and set the hair dryer at Block the cold wind and blow it on the clothes for 10 to 15 minutes. Let the strong wind take away the musty smell of the clothes, and then you can wear it and go out with confidence.

Wipe off mildew stains on clothes

The only thing worse than the musty smell is mildew stains! A nice white shirt turns into a spotted outfit overnight. People will definitely laugh to death when you wear it when you go out. Don’t worry, the method to remove mold is actually very simple.

Soak moldy clothes in rice water overnight to allow the remaining protein to absorb the mold. The next day, the color of the rice water became darker and a lot of mold spots had been removed. For areas where mildew is still stubborn, you can apply some 5% alcohol solution, or scrub it several times with hot soapy water. Then, just scrub as usual and the mildew can be completely removed.

Active oxygen laundry removes bacteria easily

We often have this experience: during the rainy season, washed clothes are not easy to dry and often have an unpleasant sour musty smell. Sometimes, washed clothes will have this unpleasant smell if they are not dried in time. This is because you have not washed your clothes properly, and the mold attached to your clothes will multiply and produce acidic substances, causing odors. Mildew is a type of fungus, called mold. Ordinary anaerobic washing powder cannot wash it off. The mold will form colonies. The color will be very light at the beginning. As the hyphae continue to expand and spread, the color will gradually deepen, leaving black spots on the clothes. . The most annoying thing is that this mold in hot and humid rainy days can also cause tinea cruris and athlete's foot.

To sterilize clothing, we usually use ultraviolet rays to sterilize with light waves, but the effect is not obvious in places where sunlight does not reach. Active oxygen sterilization destroys the cell membrane of bacteria with super oxidizing power, thereby inactivating bacteria. Since active oxygen water can penetrate into every corner of the clothes, there will be no dead corners for sterilization. The laboratory shows that active oxygen has a strong effect on bacteria. The killing effect is 3,000 times stronger than the chlorine in ordinary laundry detergent, and it is harmless to the human body. The active oxygen is strong against most bacteria including E. coli, toadstools, staphylococci, and fungi that are the most common daily hazards to human health. The removal effect makes clothes odor-free even when dried in the shade. Meisheng's aerobic laundry detergent granules have passed the testing and certification of the "National Laundry Products Quality Supervision and Testing Center" and other authoritative organizations, and have obvious sterilization and mildew prevention effects. This is something other common laundry detergents cannot achieve.

So we should use aerobic washing powder when doing laundry. Aerobic washing, washing with active oxygen, is a kind of healthy and environmentally friendly washing. It uses super oxidation and decomposition capabilities to oxidize the dirt on the clothes and decompose it into organic matter of water molecules, so that the dirt disappears through biological decomposition in the water. , thereby achieving the effect of thorough and deep decontamination, allowing mold to lose the breeding environment. Moreover, the use of active oxygen laundry can reduce the use of detergent, water use and sewage discharge.

This active oxygen laundry method breaks the traditional washing method. It can not only eliminate bacteria and mildew, and is beneficial to environmental protection, but also wash clothes cleaner and more thoroughly, thus opening a new chapter in laundry. Active oxygen laundry The oxygen environmentally friendly laundry method will become a new fashion for ordinary people in China. (Yan Jinghua)

How to deal with moldy clothes during the rainy season?

Mild stains are one of the most common results of moisture conditions. This fungus causes irregularly shaped stains. Its external color ranges from gray to black, but can sometimes range from yellow to red. It has a musty smell and sometimes causes fabric degradation. Plant fibers or protein fibers are most likely to produce mildew.

Mildew is difficult to remove. The most effective method is to soak the clothes in aerobic laundry detergent particles and wet clean them. Aerobic washing is a kind of washing powder that can inactivate mold and remove the musty smell. It can greatly reduce the mildew stains on the fiber or greatly dilute its color. Be careful to use different bleaches for different fiber types and test for color fastness before any treatment. If the dye does not resist any oxygen bleaching then test for color fastness with ammonia or detergent as this may improve the condition of the garment. Moisture, lack of ventilation or sunlight will accelerate the growth of mold, so clothes placed in plastic bags should be disposed of immediately to prevent mold growth.

Especially during the rainy season, the air temperature is relatively high, and clothes are prone to mold and hair growth. When mold in the air encounters suitable conditions, it will grow on the medium. Mold has a strong vitality. Generally, it will grow and reproduce when the temperature is 25℃-30℃, the humidity is above 80%, and there is sufficient oxygen. What should you do if your clothes become moldy? When checking clothes, you should first take them out of the box and hang them in a ventilated and dry place. If possible, you can use an electric iron to reduce moisture on the clothes. Clothes should be hung at a certain distance to ensure good ventilation. This is why there are so many clothes hanging in clothing stores that don’t get moldy.

Clothes with mildew and white hair are mostly due to the fact that collars, cuffs, pockets and fronts were not cleaned before storage, which created conditions for bacterial growth. In such a situation, you should wash it with clean water and a little aerobic, use a brush to remove the pili, then iron it dry and hang it to avoid further hair growth. After treating the moldy clothes, you have to wait until the weather is fine to take them outside to dry. Generally, woolen fabrics and fur clothing can be dried in the sun. Fur clothing also needs to be dried with the hair facing out for three to four hours, and then shake off the dust after it is cool. Silk clothing should not be exposed to the sun and should be dried in a cool place to avoid aging of the fabric. Store clothes properly after drying. When storing clothes, you can put some mothballs and camphor essence blocks in the box. At the same time, it is best to store various types of clothing such as silk, fur, and woolen materials separately.

During the rainy season, washed clothes are not easy to dry and often have an unpleasant musty smell. If the clothes are washed again in water with a small amount of vinegar and milk, the musty smell can be removed. If there are yellowing spots on the clothes or bedsheets you collect, you can apply some milk on them, put them in the sun for a few hours, and then wash them with an aerobic wash in the usual way.

Mold has adverse effects on clothes and the human body

Hangzhou has a subtropical climate. The weather is warm and humid, and bacteria, mold and other microorganisms are particularly active in the growth and reproduction of items. Produces rot, mold, and releases unpleasant odors. If residences and surrounding equipment that are closely related to human life are full of bacteria and mold erosion, they often cause damage to the surrounding environment, cause wear and tear on equipment and facilities, and make people feel uncomfortable everywhere. This not only reduces the quality of life, but even Due to the growth of bacteria and mold, it can also bring terrible diseases to humans.

Adverse effects of mold on clothes and human body

Generally speaking, the adverse effects of microorganisms on human body and clothes include the following types:

(1) Making fiber Discoloration of material.

(2) Fiber materials brittle and decompose, reducing strength.

(3) Susceptible to infectious diseases (sweat spots, tinea pedis).

(4) Babies are prone to dermatitis.

(5) The elderly are prone to bedsores.

In order to prevent the reproduction of mold and bacteria and reduce their direct harm to humans, we should use laundry detergent containing active oxygen.

Although ordinary washing powder can effectively decontaminate and clean clothes, it cannot effectively remove diseases and mold on fibers in a short washing process, and cannot truly clean clothes, especially during the rainy season. , it is easier for clothing fibers to become a breeding ground for diseases and mold, which not only makes the clothes smell bad, but also may affect your health. The solution is to use washing powder that has the function of "removing bacteria and preventing mildew". An effective method; in the aerobic sterilization concentrated powder formula of aerobic laundry detergent granules, the "active oxygen sterilization and bleaching" ingredient is used, which makes it have excellent sterilization and mildew prevention performance. It has been tested by the national authority Yang Gou Confirmed: It has a very obvious inhibitory effect on bacteria, and can effectively clean clothes, eliminate bacteria and prevent mildew.

The decontamination effect of aerobic washing is the comprehensive result of the wetting, penetration, emulsification, dispersion, foaming, solubilization, oxidation, and decomposition of active oxygen and surfactants. The decontamination process can be described as immersing dirty clothes in an aerobic detergent solution. The aerobic detergent water can easily wet the dirty clothes and quickly penetrate into the fibers along the fibers. The fibers originally attached to the dirt are affected by the function of surfactant molecules. , which greatly reduces the adhesion of dirt. Under the action of mechanical force (such as rubbing, stirring, etc.), the dirt falls off the fiber surface and enters the solution. Dirt and bacteria deep in the fiber are directly converted into small water-soluble molecules through the decomposition of active oxygen. The oil is solubilized and emulsified by the surfactant, and the solid soil and dust are dispersed and suspended in the solution. This is the decontamination process of the detergent.

Clothes not only need to be washed clean, but also need a little more love and care to keep your baby's clothes like new! As long as you use aerobic washing in the laundry, it can effectively soften the clothing fibers and leave a lasting residue on the clothes. It emits a light fresh fragrance, making clothes smell fragrant and soft, making them very comfortable to wear! (Yan Jinghua)

The new concept of aerobic sterilization laundry

When people wash clothes, the first requirement for detergents is to clean the clothes from the appearance. This is self-evident. And metaphorical. But from a modern perspective of washing, removing stains, sweat stains, oil stains, etc. that are visible to the naked eye is not truly clean. In life, people find that soon after their underwear, outerwear and socks are mixed together for washing, some people develop tinea cruris in addition to athlete's foot; clothes of healthy people are washed together with clothes of people suffering from skin boils, and their clothes are washed together. Infected with boils; in the rainy season in the south, if clothes are left undried for a long time after washing, mold is easy to grow on the clothes. Mildew can even be seen on the washing machine. ***The reason for cross-infection with laundry and mold on clothes is the persistence and spread of invisible bacteria and mold on clothes. For example, the socks of people with athlete's foot have more than 100 times more mold than the socks of people without athlete's foot, and general washing can only remove about 70%-80% of the microorganisms. The remaining mold after washing is enough to infect others. The laboratory's sterilization efficacy test of disinfectant detergents has confirmed that aerobic detergents with sterilization functions can kill 99.9% of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and have similar killing capabilities against some molds.

Since aerobic washing is a stable and weak bactericide, consumers can obtain satisfactory results by soaking the clothes for 15-30 minutes in actual application.

Detergent products with sterilizing functions are not a new thing. Medicated soaps and chlorine-containing detergents have once occupied the market. However, because medicated soap has a strong Lysol smell that is unpleasant, and chlorine-containing detergents have poor stability and produce local bleaching and corrosive effects on clothes, they are gradually being replaced by aerobic detergents containing active oxygen.

Disinfectant detergents are becoming more and more popular among people. In addition to the above reasons, the current method of home laundry and the practice of collective washing machines taking turns are also one of the reasons. In order to suit people's washing habits and needs, antibacterial detergent products are available in many formulations, including washing powder, laundry soap, laundry paste, laundry detergent, etc. Regardless of the dosage form, the function of antibacterial detergents can be summarized into one point, that is, within a certain period of time, it can effectively kill bacteria and mold on contaminated fabrics or inhibit their growth and reproduction, and play a certain role in sanitation for people's bodies. Health care effect.

In addition to having good product stability, easy storage, and no corrosive or excessive bleaching effect on clothes, detergents must also meet the following hygienic requirements: 1. High safety, no immediate or long-term effects on humans and animals period toxic side effects. 2. No irritation to skin and mucous membranes. 3. It is easily degraded in the environment, does not increase phosphorus emissions, and is beneficial to the protection of the human living environment. The aerobic laundry detergent granules produced by Meisheng Group are a safe and environmentally friendly laundry product. Aerobic washing is a very mature market in Europe and the Americas. Since laundry detergents containing oxygen bleaching formulas have a sterilizing effect, products containing active oxygen are becoming popular. In Europe, oxygen bleaching products are used in washing products and automatic dishwashing products. . In the current Chinese laundry detergent market, aerobic laundry detergent is the only laundry detergent (large granular form) produced simultaneously with the world's leading technology, and other products are manufactured with the world's obsolete technology.

Why do drum washing machines use special drum washing powder?

Roller-loading washing machines have been favored by people all over the world since their inception because of their low wear rate, no entanglement of clothes, high cleanliness, ability to wash high-end clothes, and heating and disinfection.

Since the design principles of drum washing machines are different from ordinary pulsator washing machines, their mechanical force and foam requirements are also different. Research shows that no washing powder formula can achieve the best washing effect in both washing machines at the same time. The drum washing machine has very strict foam requirements for the washing powder. Ordinary medium and high foaming washing powder will cause the drum washing machine to overflow and overflow. It can even cause damage.

Therefore, we recommend: If you use a drum washing machine to wash your clothes, please use ultra-concentrated, ultra-low-foaming special washing powder. In addition, the formula must contain active oxygen and biological enzymes, and you can use the heated washing machine of the drum washing machine. Function (40-60℃), activates the active oxygen and biological enzyme activity in the washing powder. The activity of the washing powder is maximum at 50℃, and its super decontamination performance is maximized. Due to the small water consumption, a high concentration of laundry detergent can be formed in the bucket, which brings ideal laundry results while saving water. The drum washing powder is specially designed for drum washing machines. It can bring you excellent cleaning effect while saving water and detergent.

In addition, the drum washing powder uses high-quality aerobic washing technology, contains high-quality active oxygen ingredients, and is compatible with advanced biological enzymes to form an advanced and environmentally friendly laundry detergent ingredient. The drum washing powder continuously washes in the water. Oxygen atoms are produced to oxidize all dirt in the clothing fibers and decompose them into small molecules that are soluble in water, thereby achieving deep decontamination. It can also remove "old dirt" and "restore the original color" of the clothes. At the same time, active oxygen can destroy bacterial cell membranes, kill viruses, and remove odors.

Since the active oxygen water can penetrate into every corner of the clothes, there will be no dead spots for sterilization. Cleanliness without bacteria is truly clean! Active oxygen is consumed or converted into oxygen during washing and will not cause adverse effects on the environment.

So, drum washing machines should use special drum washing powder!

After your clothes are washed with drum washing powder, the fabric will smell fresh, and it can also remove the residue in the fabric structure, making the fabric soft and elastic, and enjoy the world's best washing. Aerobic laundry will become fashionable! Take action now!

Let’s start experiencing premium aerobic washing technology today. (Yan Jinghua)

Beware of mold in the washing machine

The washing machine looks clean at first glance, but many people don’t know that there is a sleeve on the outside of the washing drum, where the washing water is In and out between the two floors. Since the back of the washing barrel cannot be seen, consumers cannot clean it, and it accumulates dirt over time. Research has confirmed that the dirt in the mezzanine of the washing machine is: scale formed by calcium ions and calcium carbonate in the water, free substances in laundry detergent and soap, lint from washed clothes, and human body rubbing on the washed clothes. oil stains, proteins, various organic residues, bacteria and other substances brought in by the laundry. These hodgepodges are firmly attached to the mezzanine of the washing machine sleeve, multiply and ferment at room temperature, and will contaminate the clothes during washing and bring them to the human body.

Lecturer Hisatsuki Sugiura of Shiga Medical University in Japan believes that when atopic dermatitis symptoms worsen, there are many reasons, including microorganisms, chemicals, and depression. However, mold in the washing machine is also It should be included as one of the reasons and it is absolutely necessary to confirm it through investigation.

Associate Professor Kazuyoshi Fukai from the Osaka City University School of Medicine said that one of his dermatitis patients suddenly experienced a significant reduction in symptoms when the washing machine at home broke down and was out of service. Therefore, Shenji has suspected that there seems to be a special relationship between washing machines and dermatitis. Depending on the location and usage method, it is indeed easy for mold to grow in the washing machine. However, because the specific data was not yet available, it was not yet certain that there was a causal relationship between dermatitis and the washing machine. However, the warning effect for the future cannot be underestimated. We Let’s call it a trap in the washing machine tub.

Experts from the Osaka Environmental Science Research Institute investigated 153 washing machines and found that only one found no mold. A maximum of 4,566 molds were found per liter of water in the washing machine barrel. On average, There were 61 fully automatic washing machines and 24 double-tub washing machines. Most of the mold found on clothes outdoors was also found in the washing machine tub. The survey also found that mold breeding has the following tendencies: ① The number of molds in fully automatic washing machines is 2.6 times that of double-cylinder washing machines, ② Washing machines that are used every day are more likely to breed mold than washing machines that are used once every few days, ③ The number of molds in the washing machine barrel is large because of the large family size There are also many molds in the inner barrel. After using the new washing machine for 5 months, the mold in the inner barrel began to increase significantly. ⑤ The washing machine of the residents living on the first floor of the building has more mold. The higher the floor, the less mold. ⑥ Leave the lid open after washing. The number of mold in the washing machine is 40% less than that in the washing machine without opening the lid. ⑦ The amount of mold has basically nothing to do with the type of detergent and soap. Mold grows in the washing machine tub, and mold spores are spread by water flow. Ironically, the more frequently a washing machine is used, the more mold will breed in it. People who love cleaning have encountered a trap for no reason.

Now that we have entered the rainy season, how can we effectively prevent the growth of mold? The basic method recommended by experts is: dry in time, and open the lid of the washing machine to dry the clothes after washing. There are also disadvantages to the current residential environment. In particular, there is usually only one drainage outlet in apartments, and there are few windows in the bathroom where the washing machine is placed, which is not conducive to drying and ventilation. Therefore, after washing the clothes, in addition to opening the lid, you should also take off the filter bag when not in use and hang it outside to dry fully. In addition, when washing clothes, you should use oxygen-containing laundry detergent - aerobic laundry granules, which can also eliminate mold in the washing machine while washing clothes. Especially for families with drum washing machines, you can also use the drum washing powder produced by Meisheng Group for heated washing. This is because mold is very sensitive to temperature. The survival rate in water at 35°C is already very low, and it is almost impossible to survive in water at 45°C. It is zero and can effectively kill mold.
