How to whiten tulle from gray and yellowness by purchased chemistry

Non-traditional and folk methods of whitening at home, we examined. They are effective and deserve attention. But many housewives prefer household chemicals, which are sold in stock. We are talking about bleaches and stain removers. We’ll talk about them.

Bleach

The use of bleaches is considered a classic method of fighting for the snow-white of tulle curtains. Consider this category as an example of the popular tool "White". Everything is simple. Warm water is poured into the basin, a few caps of the purchased product are added, the tulle is stirred and soaked. After an hour, the product is pulled out, rinsed and dried. Quickly and efficiently, if not a few but.

• Bleaches destroy the structure of the fabric, which speeds up the process of converting tulle into a holey rag.
• Such purchased products are not suitable for all fabrics. Improper use is fraught with the appearance of new yellow spots.
• Application increases the likelihood that in the future to do without “White” will not work, because even the fight against simple pollution will become problematic.

Purchased bleaches also have advantages. If you have good financial capabilities, feel free to use. Those mistresses who seek to cost savings, I advise you to look at folk remedies.

Stain removers

Products representing this category differ from bleaches by purpose. Additionally, they have a pleasant aroma, which solves the rinse problem.

To bleach the tulle, pour warm water into a large bowl, add stain remover according to the instructions, mix and lower the curtains into the solution. After a few hours, remove, rinse and dry.

Features of bleaching tulle from different materials

Yellowed curtains look unattractive. Therefore, the housewives seek to quickly rectify the situation and use folk remedies or purchased chemistry.These funds help to restore the "window dress" dazzling white shade. But sometimes the situation gets worse. What is the reason?

Today, manufacturers make tulle from various materials, each of which requires a specific washing technique. Therefore, the result largely depends on the correct choice of funds.

Nylon tulle

In the case of kapron, gentle whitening is appropriate. Chemistry is permitted if it is indicated on the product label. As for folk methods, those that work in cool water are suitable. We are talking about brilliant green, potassium permanganate, saline and starch.

Organza Tulle

Organza products are more moody than kapron. They do not make friends with hot water and poorly resist dust sticking. Often the fabric is dyed. Improper washing or bleaching will result in molting. For cleaning, water is used up to 40 degrees, brine, brilliant green or ammonia with hydrogen peroxide.

Veil Tulle

Factory preparations have no place in bleaching the veil. To restore the pristine whiteness of this delicate material, it is recommended to use warm water, ammonia or starch.

Linen tulle

Commercial bleaches help to remove “difficult” spots, however, due to chemical additives, these products accelerate the aging of tissues. Knowledgeable people advise using warm water and ammonia. This product is safe for natural fabrics.

Jacquard Tulle

A jacquard-woven fabric loves gentle washing in slightly warm water using a neutral detergent. The use of chemicals is unacceptable. Handwash permitted soap without active dyes. About whitening is better to forget completely. It will destroy the product.

There are materials for whitening which purchased chemistry is not suitable. But not always popular methods are safe. The reaction of the same tissue to different agents is different.

Many housewives make one common mistake when bleaching tulle - they process dirty material. As a result, the dust penetrates deep into the structure of the fabric and turns gray. Before the procedure, be sure to soak the product in soapy water and wash.

Do not use substances containing chlorine, among which is the well-known Whiteness. Under the influence of the main active components, the fabric structure is destroyed, which is fraught with damage to the product.
