How to whiten kapron tulle at home

Here comes the spring! The sun's rays gently peer out the window, and immediately highlight an unsightly problem: the window curtains, most recently shining with snow-white purity, turned into a gray dull ragged rags, otherwise you will not name it.

How to whiten nylon tulle at home? There are many ways, but we will focus on the most reliable and safe for curtains and for health.

Is it possible to eradicate the causes of evil, so that the tulle does not get dirty?

Impossible. Prevention will not work. There are a lot of pollution factors:

1. Even if sterile cleanliness reigns in the house, dust and soot from the window will still do their dirty work.
2. In the presence of a smoking household, the curtains must become disgusting yellowness.
3. Seals, dogs very much like to sit on the windowsill, while necessarily wiping their dirty noses and paws on tulle, waving tails with dust from a window sill with a radius of up to half a meter.
4. The little ones dirty the tulle with unthinkable pollution - sweets, paints, glue, that is, everything that comes to hand.
5. Strangely enough, but the main polluter of tulle is some of the housewives in the house, the more often they shake off dust from furniture with synthetic fashionable brushes, such as “Go Duster”, the more it settles onto tulle.

Why did we understand the reasons? In order to determine the nature of stains and first properly wash the curtains to remove them. And whitening is the final stage.

Proper washing of nylon tulle

It sometimes happens that after washing you do not need bleaching, as today's powders, gels contain oxygen and optical bleaches. Tulle is a very specific material, when washing you need to follow some rules.

1. The first stage - shake out on the street so that the excess dust will fly off.
2. The second is soaking. First, we place in cold water for half an hour, change the water, repeat the procedure until the water is clear. If there are no stains, only a gray tint, can be washed in a typewriter.In the presence of yellow stains, dissolve a portion of biopowder in water, leave overnight. Grease stains are also soaked in a solution of water and dishwashing detergent.
3. Washing: folding the tulle should be done carefully, otherwise there will be creases; it is better to wrap it with a “roll” in a special laundry bag. Mode - delicate wash.

If there are no cars (we live in the village without running water), simply remove the tulle from the basin after soaking, rinse until the soap flows in the river disappear. After the soap has disappeared, rinse to shine with a cold aqueous solution of acetic acid (1 tl per 5 liters).

Washing does not always give a positive result: the color of the tulle remains gray, it has lost its luster, there are yellow spots, which means that we are starting to bleach.
