Is it possible to erase textile decor
Blinds - a variety of curtains collected from planks of various widths. These bands can be directed vertically or horizontally. In any case, they are completely closed the window in pain. For the production of textile lamellas, various materials are chosen. Most often based on synthetic fibers, for example, polyester. Natural, usually used in mixture with synthetics.
You can wash any of these options, but with compliance with certain requirements. Synthetic is sensitive to high temperatures. It loses color, may form the chances that cannot be removed. Natural fibers in hot water give shrinkage, deform. Therefore, processing should be carried out only in cool water. Temperature mode - not higher than 30 ° C. Boiling strictly prohibited.
Textiles for lamellaes differs not only by the composition, but also decoration. Single models easier to wash. They do not risk losing the drawing, as it can happen to the fabric. Before you wash them, check how hard the pattern is kept on the basis. The most stable pattern is on jacquard stripes. It turns out by interlacing the threads of a different shade, therefore, sustainable processing.
It is advisable to know exactly the composition of the fabric from which the slats are made. Then it is easy to determine how to wash the blinds. If it is unknown, you can navigate the price. For an inexpensive decor, polyester is most often used. More difficult with expensive models. They can be made of natural fibers: cotton, wool or even silk. In this case, it is better not to risk and give the product to dry cleaning.
Choosing detergent
This is a very important point. The drug should accurately correspond to the composition of textiles, otherwise it can spoil it. The best means for synthetics are best. They are intended for low-temperature processing, so well is deduced in cool water. No need to choose powder. His granules are poorly dissolved. There is a risk that undisguised grains will be on the material. They can discolor or, on the contrary, paint the product fragment.Washing pastes or gels are considered a good choice. They quickly dissolve, it is better to be broken and do not leave divorces. The recommended dosage should be observed. Otherwise, the foam will turn out too much, it will be difficult to fully crawl. In advice, how to erase blinds, often offer to use soap. It disrupts textiles well. To obtain a detergent solution, the economic or baby soap is riveted into the chips, then dissolve.
Do not use rinses. The lamella fabric is impregnated with repulsive dust and moisture compositions, so they will not have any impact. Bleaches are prohibited. If stains appeared, they are treated with economic soap, alcohol. Stains are allowed, but provided that they do not have chlorine. Before use, they are tested on an imperceptible fragment so as not to spoil the entire strip.
How to remove vertical shutters for washing
Before you wash the lamellae from the fabric, it is advisable to carry dry cleaning. It is carried out before the design will disassemble. A furniture brush is put on the vacuum cleaner, the power is cleaned to a minimum. Gently vacuuming each bar on both sides. Thus, it is possible to remove a large amount of dust. Without it, the material is easier to be detached. If there is no vacuum cleaner, the dust is removed well pressed with a cloth, it is regularly flashed.
After that, the stripes prepared for washing dismantle.
Dismantling instructions:
- Turn the chain of the control mechanism, we put the curtains to the "open" position.
- At the bottom of each plank we find a weight loss. We remove the guide chain on both sides.
- Take out weightless weights.
- Alternately remove the strips from the cornice.
Washing technology
So that the tissue lamellas during the processing do not lose the form and have not received the chances, they are collapsed into the roll. You can do it for every part or folded with a neat stack of five or six, but no more, and turn them all together. The resulting video is fixed by a stationery elastic band or simply associated with a thread. In this form, they can be wrapped. Do it in the automatic washing machine or manually. Consider both options.
1. Hand wash
The most convenient was washed in the bath. If it is impossible, it is necessary to prepare a sufficiently large container in which all rolls will be placed right away. Prepare washing solution. Cooling cool water in the bath, measured the means, completely dissolve it in the liquid. Lower rolls in the container so that each of them is coated with soap solution. Leave in this form about half an hour. During this time, dirt will be mocking.
Alternately paint each strip. Carefully rub her soft sponge, wash off dirt. If stains remained on the surface, they are cleaned. The removal means is selected depending on the type of contamination. So, fat is well dissolved with a qualitative skeleton type "Fairi", the trail from the marker or handles is removed with an alcoholic solution. Laminet lamella needs to rinse well, soap remains on its surface.
This can be done in two ways. Conveniently at home, rinse the strip under the shower. The fabric take in the hand, send a shower canoe and rinsed abundantly. You can rinse the bar and in the pelvis. Alternately omit each in the container, then removed. Make so few times until the foam remains. Squeeze, even very easily, it is impossible. The material impregnated with polymers is inclined to form the elements. Similarly, rolled curtains are erased. Their main difference is in the size of the canvas. It closes the entire window, so large enough. Such a cloth does not need to turn into a roll. It is neatly lowered into the bath, leave for a while, then washed. Important moment: Furnace canvas is not recommended, all the folds immediately need to straighten.
2. Wash in the car
Some hostesses are confident that they know how to wash the vertical blinds in the washing machine. However, mistakes make, as a result of which the curtain turns out to be hopelessly spoiled. We will analyze how to do everything right.
- We fold the rolled strips to the wash bag. If it is not, we take the old pillowcase. We check that each roll is well fixed and did not turn around during the disinfect. At the same time, the gum or thread should not pass it too much so that it does not work out.
- Pour detergent. It is better to pour it into a special container and put in the drum.
- Select the machine mode. It should be either "manual" or "delicate wash". Turn off the spin. If the last option is not provided in a particular machine model, it is better to abandon processing.
- Run the device, waiting for the end of the cycle.
The rolled curtains of all types are erased similarly, including day / night. Before loading into the tank, they are neatly straightening, folded and placed in a mesh bag. It is necessary to know that the curtains can be interinted only in the washing machines of the automatic type. Semiautomes are not suitable for this. They have a different principle of operation. Machine on manual mode carefully cleanse the material, the semiautomatic device hopelessly spoil.
Rules of drying
Postgraded curtains are important to dry properly, otherwise there may be chances. The first thing to do is hang the canvas so that water is water from it. It is more convenient to spend stripes over the bathroom. Each lamella is neatly straightening, slightly sipping to the sides to save the shape. You can remove them only after the liquid will stop with them. They must be wet, but not wet.
Finally lear them best on the cornice. Vertical strips are fixed in place, passengers put insert, wear a chain. Rolled attach to the eaves and lowered. In this form, the cloth will dry quickly and is not deformed. To speed up the process in the warm season, it is advisable to open windows to get a small addition, blowing. Use hair dryers, heating appliances, etc. prohibited.
