How to remove shine from the iron on clothes?

In the modern world, we no longer imagine life without some things of our civilization. For example, without iron. Elegant and well-groomed without the application of this extremely useful invention is unlikely to succeed.

We use it almost every day, and it often happens that after using the iron on clothes there is a shine, light beige or brown marks on light clothes, and the appearance of other stains after ironing. But iron is not always to blame.

There may be several.

• Incorrectly selected temperature when ironing a particular product. Often we do not notice at what level the regulator stands, sometimes it seems to us that this does not matter. Conclusion - always set only the correct temperature and steaming mode as recommended.
• The unclean sole of the iron, as a result of which it leaves burns and spots. If on the sole of the iron there are scorched places, then at the most crucial moment this dirt from the iron will get on things. Conclusion - remove everything from the surface of the iron. There are special pencils for cleaning, as well as many popular ways.

• Use of untreated water. This is especially true in areas with poor drinking water, rich in sediments and heavy metals. Ideal - distilled or filtered water.
• Ironing of things not completely washed in the washing machine, with the remnants of the powder. Do not pour more powder than necessary. A lot of powder - does not mean that it will be better to wash.

It is not always possible to get rid of the stain. When the thread is burned, it is unlikely to succeed. In general, everything depends on the age of the spot (the earlier it starts to remove after the appearance, the more likely a positive effect), the type of fabric.

If you can choose other clothes, then this is better to wash immediately.

If the spot with a gloss is small, you can try to steam it. For this, a towel is placed on the ironing board, clothes are placed on it, and gauze moistened and folded in several layers is placed on top of it. Instead of gauze, you can use paper. Ironing, lightly touching the surface of the gauze until the gloss disappears. For cotton fabrics is just a godsend!

In order to remove the gloss from dark costume fabrics, the following tool will help:

1. lay out trousers or a skirt on an ironing board;
2. dip a gauze cut in our solution (1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water) and squeeze;
3. put on the thing and smooth until the complete removal of gloss.

There is also a technique for removing shiny marks with black tea. It is suitable only for dark fabrics, because tea paints fabrics brown. Moistened with a tampon in a strong brewed tea need to process all shiny places.

In order to remove burns from light things, you will need vinegar and salt. The order of action is as follows:

• dilute vinegar with water in equal proportions (standard vinegar 9%);
• wet the stain with vinegar, rub a little with a sponge;
• further need a sorbent - take the salt, sprinkle it on top and leave for some time.

Another burnt cloth with light cloth can be removed using boric acid. To do this, it must be mixed in equal proportions with warm water. Apply with a brush or sponge on the cloth, rub gently and leave for 15 minutes. After this thing to freeze.

If boric acid is not, you can cope with pollution with lemon juice and salt. It is well known that citric acid has a whitening effect. Apply lemon juice to the item, lightly rub and sprinkle with fine salt “Extra”. After 40-60 minutes, the stain can be closed.

With dark costume and light fabrics sorted out. Consider how to deal with delicate fabrics such as silk.

Clean the silk will help soda. To do this, stir one teaspoon of soda in a cup of warm water. We moisten gauze section in this solution. And we iron the fabric, putting a gauze cut on it in several layers. Spots leave relatively quickly and without damaging the fabric.

There is another way with soda, it is longer, but equally effective. It is necessary to mix soda and water to make gruel. Water should be warm. Apply gruel to the stain and leave to dry. After drying, lightly clean the scorched area with a sponge, and then shake off the soda.

Here we will come to the aid of ammonia, peroxide and onions.

In warm water (we take about 1 liter) we add ammonia, about half a tablespoon, and liquid soap, we take it quite a bit. Further, it is quite easy - we wipe the piece of fabric we need, then we iron it with a gauze cut.

Using a cut of the bulb, rub the burnt area and leave for a while. After washing as usual.

This recipe is suitable only for white things, since peroxide has whitening properties. Apply hydrogen peroxide to the stain and rub with a sponge. All stains are removed from the edge to the center so as not to increase the spot area. After thing to freeze.

If a thing is colored, then it can be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide, only 1%. The durability of the fabric is better to check for inconspicuous revenge in the wrong part of the product.

Sour milk and yogurt will cope on fabrics of this type with scorched threads. Mix sour milk with warm water (1: 2). Sponge rub the stain and leave for several hours. Novice housewives should be aware that the stain is always trimmed from its edges to the center, so as not to increase its area. After the thing to wash.

Remove the gloss will help the soap solution.

To get rid of shine on this type of fabric, use a soap solution. You can use both household and regular toilet soap. To rub the shining places with a sponge moistened in soapy water, and then stroke the item with gauze cut. It should be borne in mind that you should not make too soapy solution, because after drying, soap stains may remain on clothes. This recipe is suitable for both plain and colored and dark fabrics.

You can try to deal with stubborn stains with gasoline. The stain should be rubbed with a sponge dipped in gasoline, sprinkle liberally with salt and leave to dry. Well, in the end, a thing to wash. This method is more aggressive, so everyone decides to use it independently.

If the above methods did not help, you can use the services of dry cleaning.However, it should be remembered that in some cases, if a method is applied at home that does not correspond to the type of fabric, or the active substance was above the norm, the stain is “sealed”, and even dry cleaning with its removal will no longer help.
