How to remove spools from clothes and linen?

Changing and replenishing wardrobe is not only an exciting activity, but also a financially costly event, for the implementation of which a family can spend most of the family budget. When choosing a wardrobe, experts recommend giving preference to high-quality and not cheap models that will retain their attractiveness for as long as possible. Novice housewives should understand that even good things can quickly deteriorate if you do not follow the rules of wearing and caring for them. The most common problem with wearing clothes is the appearance of knots and pills. It is relevant for all types of fabric.

Pulls on clothes are caked fibers, which are formed as a result of friction of the surface of the canvas against foreign objects. Clothes made of synthetic fabrics are more prone to rolling, but there are other reasons for the appearance of this phenomenon:

• low quality of knitwear and defects;
• features of socks;
• fabric structure;
• incorrect selection of detergents;
• non-observance of the temperature regime when washing in a washing machine;
• spinning at high speeds.

Despite the variety of models, the principle of operation of all devices is identical, and the technology of use is very simple and will not cause difficulties even for novice housewives. In order to clean a thing with high quality, it is necessary to spread it out on a flat and smooth surface and draw the device over it with smooth movements without pressure. A distinctive feature of the machine's operation is a careful attitude to the fabric, as well as not pulling out the spools, but cutting them off.

If there is no opportunity to purchase a special machine, you can remove the spools with improvised means at home. The most popular tools at hand are the following.

• Razor blade - the most popular tool that allows you to quickly remove knitted lumps. Due to the likelihood of damage to the product by the blade, experienced housewives do not recommend using this method to clean clothes made of natural wool, polyester, mohair and angora, as well as things with a decorative pattern, but socks, tights and hats can be safely cleaned of unnecessary elements. Fabric processing technology consists of the following stages:
  • placing things on a flat surface while slightly stretching it;
  • removal of lumps using a machine by smoothly moving it over the product;
  • cleaning the surface from cut particles;
  • reprocessing of the product if necessary.

• Construction tape or medical tape... The technology for carrying out the work is very simple and consists in sticking the tape to the clothes for a few seconds and tearing it off abruptly. For the most effective cleaning, only very sticky tapes should be used, which are capable of providing the maximum level of adhesion to the fabric.

• Scissors - an ineffective and very dangerous method that can lead to mechanical damage to the tissue. This method can be used only for cleaning small areas, but it is almost impossible to completely rid the product of the pellets. Before starting work, you need to put the thing on a flat surface, comb it with a brush, which will allow you to more clearly see all the lumps and effectively remove them. If necessary, be sure to repeat the procedure.

• Medium hard toothbrush - the simplest and safest tool that can be used to clean all types of fabrics and even bedding.The combing process consists in the methodical and gradual combing of clothes, from the very top to the bottom. The disadvantage is the duration of the procedure. To consolidate the result after cleaning, clothes should be washed in warm water with vinegar. You can replace your toothbrush with a fine-toothed comb.

• Sandpaper - a dangerous agent that can damage the integrity of the tissue. It is categorically impossible to clean all types of delicate fabrics with sandpaper, but cleaning of linen and cotton fabrics will be effective. Cleaning should be carried out in smooth movements, without pressure, strictly along the fibers.

• Sponge for washing dishes Is an ineffective product that can be used to clean small areas. For work, you need to use only the hard part of the product.

In order for a favorite thing to please the owner for a long period of time, it is necessary not only to choose it correctly and wear it carefully, but also to follow all the recommendations for washing. So that there are no spools on the product, it must be washed in strict accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations indicated on the label. It is strictly forbidden to increase the temperature regime or use the automatic spinning at high speeds.

Products made from delicate fabrics should be washed only by hand and use special detergents, and use a conditioner for rinsing. It is strictly forbidden to use bleaching agents and aggressive compounds. Some housewives, before washing in an automatic machine, place the item in special bags that reduce the intensity of friction of the item.

Experts recommend paying attention to the following additional measures to help avoid clumps:

• carrying a bag on different shoulders;
• drying clothes in a place protected from sunlight;
• the use of a single rinse in an automatic washing machine;
• ironing clothes only through gauze;
• washing things only with special means that take good care of them;
• using only hand spinning for woolen products.

Experienced housewives recommend using not granular powder, but liquid gel for washing delicate clothes, and softening conditioners must be added to the rinse water, which will also give things a pleasant aroma.

If we are talking about expensive and exclusive branded models, then it is better to give up self-cleaning altogether., and entrust this event to specialists working in dry cleaners. These institutions will not only help to get rid of untidy nodules, but also wash and iron the thing, as well as remove even old stains. The cost of dry cleaning services is quite high, but if we are talking about expensive things, then it is quite justified.

Experienced housewives recommend doing regular inspection of things and removing nodules when they first appear. Long-term neglect of cleaning can lead to massive accumulation and coarsening of the pellets, which subsequently complicates the process of their removal.

The appearance of things is a reflection of the internal state of the owner and his social status. In order to be respected in the team and always have a neat appearance, experts recommend paying special attention not only to the selection of wardrobe, but also to caring for it. The most common problem with old items is spools. It is the small nodules that indicate the wear and tear of the thing and the need to replace it.
