This is one of the tips to help clean clothes that you should save immediately.
Benefits of putting plastic bottles in the washing machine with clothes
In daily life, you will use a lot of products in plastic bottles such as mineral water, soft drinks… If you throw away plastic bottles after use, they will be very wasteful. You can take advantage of them to do many other things in the family, both saving costs and protecting the environment.
In daily laundry, you can use plastic bottles to help clean clothes more effectively, avoiding twisted and wrinkled clothes.
Machine-washed clothes often wrinkle and crease, and not everyone has time to iron them. Even ironing clothes will take a lot of time. To avoid wrinkles on your clothes and save ironing time, you can use 2 water bottles.
After putting the clothes in the washing drum, you just need to put 2 empty plastic bottles in. Remember to tighten the bottle cap tightly.
When the washing machine operates, the plastic bottle will rotate with the clothes. That way, the clothes won’t get stuck together or knotted. You will easily take your clothes out to dry. Clothes that are not twisted together will reduce wrinkles.
In addition, when you put a plastic bottle in, the water flow above will change while the water flow below remains unchanged. This increases the stirring force of the water flow. When clothes are stirred back and forth with the water flow, the cleaning efficiency also increases.
Other tips to keep machine-washed clothes from wrinkling
– Use laundry bags
You can put clothes in the laundry bag. This prevents clothes from rubbing against each other and from being twisted or wrapped tightly together. When clothes are not twisted, they wrinkle less.
In addition, clothes with fragile materials or details such as zippers, hooks, etc. will need to be placed in a laundry bag before putting them in the machine to ensure durability.
– Choose the mode suitable for the fabric type
Not all types of clothes use the same washing mode. Depending on the fabric material and dirt level, you need to choose different washing modes. For example, with wool, you should only choose a moderate spin speed. With easily wrinkled fabrics such as silk and linen, low rotation speeds also help the clothes last longer and prevent tearing.
– Dry clothes immediately after washing
Many people have the habit of washing clothes, putting them in the washing machine and then drying them for a long time. However, this will cause the clothes to wrinkle more. Not only that, a humid environment also causes bacteria and mold to grow, causing clothes to have an unpleasant odor.
Therefore, after washing, you should hang your clothes to dry. When drying, rinse vigorously to keep the clothes smooth.
