What should I do if watermelon juice stains my clothes? The secret to easy removal is revealed
In the hot summer, watermelon has become the first choice for many people to quench their thirst. However, if you're not careful, watermelon juice can stain your beloved clothes. Faced with this situation, how do we deal with it? Today, we will reveal the secret of easily removing watermelon juice stains.
1. Understand the characteristics of stains.
Watermelon juice is a liquid that contains red and yellow pigments, usually red or orange in color. This stain can easily penetrate the fibres of clothing, especially cotton, linen and polyester. Therefore, it is important to know the material of the garment and the location, size, and color of the stain before dealing with watermelon juice stains.
Second, the correct cleaning method.
1.Immediate treatment: Once you find that the clothes are stained with watermelon juice, you should immediately rinse the stain with water to reduce the time of the stain on the clothes as much as possible and reduce the difficulty of cleaning.
2.Use laundry detergent: Add an appropriate amount of laundry detergent (neutral or slightly alkaline) to clean water, stir well, soak the laundry in water, and then gently scrub the stain. If necessary, repeat this process until the stain disappears.
3.Bleaching: If the stain is heavy or difficult to remove, it can be bleached appropriately. Use a laundry detergent with a bleaching effect or use the washing machine's built-in rinse function.
4.Avoid over-rubbing: Excessive rubbing may cause the stain to spread, which can affect the decontamination effect. Therefore, gentle scrubbing of the stain is key.
3. Precautions.
1.Never use hot water: Some of the pigments in watermelon juice can decompose at high temperatures, making stains more difficult to remove. Therefore, watermelon juice stains should be washed with room temperature water.
2.Never use bleach: If chlorine bleach is used, it may cause a change in the color of the clothing or damage to the fibers. Therefore, chlorine-free bleach should be used.
3.Never use a washing machine to spin dry: the moisture in watermelon juice is not easily spun off thoroughly and may cause the stain to spread. Therefore, the laundry should be wrung out or dried at the last rinse in the washing machine.
With the above steps, we can easily remove watermelon juice stains from our clothes. In addition to the correct washing method, we also need to pay attention to the maintenance and care of clothes in daily life. Keeping clothes dry and tidy can extend the life of your clothes while maintaining our image and mood.
I hope that everyone can take care of their clothes while enjoying the cool summer day. When dealing with all kinds of stains, we should stay calm and adopt the correct washing method to keep our clothes clean, tidy, and beautiful. Let's enjoy the summer together!
