 Part One - clean brains.
Part Two - Cleansing the body.
"Big Wash" - the many mistresses of this phrase goes hot. Before my eyes immediately pop up the mountain of dirty laundry, packaging powders, bleach, air conditioning. Panic on the label instructions: "You can not ..." "No way ...". Scurry shopping in search of the necessary funds. And ... still yellow sheets neotstavshie stains on shirts, faded dress, etc., etc.
And all this suffering only because of the fact that we do not know how to prepare for the big wash. It's time to become a Marshal Zhukov "clothesline strategy." We split the "capture dirt" into several stages:
1. Analysis of dirty laundry.
2. Definition and acquisition of the necessary funds.
3. Preparation of the "bridgehead" for drying.
4. Stain.
5. The total wash "by subgroups."
It seems difficult, dreary and long? Not at all. With a little practice, you'll do all this on a one-two.
1.
So, to understand underwear. Then just remember my mother: "Color - apart from the white! ". All right, that's just the graduation linen exclusively on the "skin color" is not enough. We expand into different heaps: cotton, linen, wool and knitted fabrics, synthetics, underwear, bedding, curtains and blinds, kitchen towels and potholders ... One tip: things to different spots better to put in a separate basket - they still have to pay individual attention and wash separately.
Now that we know exactly what will have to deal with, draw up a list of problems: yellowing cotton items, washing knitwear, silk, etc. We recognize stains and make them in a separate list. So it will be easier to determine what tools you need to cook or buy and we will not have bought too much, and none are left unattended.
2.
Thus, the "rag forces" apart, it is time to deal with the "arsenal." We took out a jar-box. What we may need?
-
Universal washing powder.
Suitable for washing "is not capricious" fabrics, do not require special attention to the person.
-
Special detergents and liquid
. Designed for washing certain types of tissue: white and colored, cotton and delicate, natural and synthetic, etc.
-
Laundry detergent with bio-additives.
Contrary bravura advertising, such funds solely to cope with stains of protein origin.
-
Bleachers
- Chlorinated and oxygenated. I want to believe that taking care of their own health and quality of erasable things still prevails over the habits and stereotypes. So forget about the chlorine bleach, as a nightmare. But when you buy with active oxygen bleach will be careful pay attention not only to the fact, for what type of underwear he designed, but as of the date of production. The fact that oxygen-bleaching most often available in liquid form, so after 3-6 months before they lose 50-75% of its effectiveness.
-
Amplifiers washing powder
. They certainly can significantly shorten the time of washing, to reduce efforts and improve the quality of linen "output". But only under the condition that will be matched exactly according to the type of fabric and the type of pollution.
-
Softener.
These funds are intended to mitigate the linen, its flavoring and anti-static properties. Of course, first of all we choose fabric softener smell. It should be, of course, pleasant to our sense of smell, but do not forget that too intense and persistent smell can permanently settle in our clothes, unprofitable shading or interrupting favorite perfume fragrance. But buying the air conditioning to combat static electricity, do not be amiss to take a look at the label: and whether the chosen means of such an effect? For air conditioners are different: to impart softness to eliminate persistent odors to give water repellency things ...
A little about the packaging. The most economical is a soft plastic packing bag. The most easy to use - box for 400-500 gr. powder. Turn the mind. Do we really need a 5-pound bag of powder for wool and knitwear, if in the closet among the jeans and cotton shirts hanging sad single knit cardigan? It is convenient to be emptied powder from 3-pound box? Does it make sense to purchase 2 liter bottles of bleach to three handkerchiefs?
 And, of course, do not forget about the way we used to wash. Means for automatic washing machines are suitable for cars activator type and for hand washing, but the reverse is not possible. "Machines" are usually much more expensive, so that when we have a lot to wash by hand, it makes sense to buy a powder for this purpose alone.
3.
As soon as we make efforts for further saving of time, effort and money, and do not forget about how and where we will dry the laundry. Even if you - the owner of ultra-modern washing machine and dryer, some tips may very well be useful to you.
• Do not for a long time to dry clothes in the wind - it can lose elasticity and strength.
• For drying, as well as laundry, group things on the white and colored, tench dry things apart from the rest.
• Use the coils in the bathroom to dry only in case of emergency: such things after drying become stiff, and often they are produced yellow stains, burns.
• To save space and preserve the shape of things, use plastic hangers for clothes, just do not forget to zip up before drying buttons and zippers.
• Knitwear dried, having spread it on a towel and periodically changing the sodden towel to dry.
• Dry the linen and clothes using clothespins faster than flexing it through the rope, but be careful with the tissues, which can be deformed.
