 How to remove the pellets from clothes

Why do the pellets appear on clothes

  1. External factors. Friction causes excessive rolling. As a rule, clothing is spoiled at the points of contact of a favorite product with another coarse material. Belts, bags or backpack, belt for trousers, jacket over a sweater - all this is a consequence of the appearance of pellets. At risk are things consisting of woolen or synthetic yarns, as well as a large pile.
  2. Washing powder. No wonder that washing machines are equipped with modes that help preserve the original appearance of the product (a program of hand washing or a delicate wash). In addition, it is also important to consider the type of detergent that is used for washing. Each product requires a directional powder (gel for washing wool, cleaning agent for the processing of synthetics, cotton, etc.). Incorrectly chosen composition contributes to the deification of the fabric, on it appear the pellets.
  3. Features of the material. Each piece of clothing can be made from natural or synthetic fabric. Everyone knows such material names as flannel, fleece, silk, polyester, knitwear, cotton, cotton and others. Regardless of the type of fabric (natural or artificial), the product may be exposed to the pellets. Some materials themselves suggest rolling due to the nature of the fibers, so such a feature is inevitable. Depending on the operating conditions, the problem will arise after a certain period.
  4. Wrong care. Many people do not think about the fact that the clothes must be properly cared for. Even despite the carelessness, each manufacturer attaches a label with recommendations for care. These include the rules of washing, drying and ironing.If you do not follow the tips, the pellets on clothes appear much earlier. Although with proper care they could have been avoided.
