To figure out how to remove a stain on your favorite item, it is important to understand when it appeared.

Experienced housewives divide the problem into stains that appear after washing and those that may appear after long-term storage in the closet. By the way, there are often complaints about the appearance of untidy marks on new, unworn and unwashed items. So, the novelty of each garment is questionable: who knows how many times they tried it on, with what hands they picked it up - managers aren’t wearing sterile gloves when hanging out the assortment! Yes, and they also pack it at the factory, most likely, without any protective equipment. Agree?

Advice from Chistyuli. Horrible yellow spots are often caused by improper care. The internet's most complete collection of clothes will save your clothes from the trash bin and help keep them beautiful. Go ahead and bookmark it!

Yellow spots on things appear as if out of nowhere. What is the reason?

I will not divide the reasons into “after washing” and “after storage” - most likely, they complement each other, or it is impossible to accurately determine. So, yellow spots on clothes, which are then so difficult to get rid of, arise for the following reasons:

• incorrect washing powder;
• washing at the wrong temperature;
• a greasy mark undetected in time;
• traces of sweat mixed with antiperspirant;
• traces of perfume;
• improper ironing;
• the iron “spits” rust;
• using bleach;
• hard water for washing;
• improper storage of things;
• mold.

How to counter these troubles? Very simple.

Prevention of yellow spots

Male logic will never learn all these rules. And for women it’s easy! That's why we girls can cope with any problem. So:

The right washing machine

How to remove yellow stains from white and colored clothes? Repair experts washing machines They say: in 60% of cases, the drum of a machine over 3-4 years old is rusty. If small reddish spots and dots consistently appear on your clothes, instruct a technician to inspect your assistant for rust.

By the way, washing machines with a water-saving function harm fabrics: by reducing the amount of water in the tank, they rinse the laundry worse; powder remains in the fibers, which also turns yellow.

The right washing powder

Many powders for colored fabrics contain special additives that stick to the laundry and accumulate dirt. At first the spots are yellow, then red and then finally brown.

While collecting materials for the article, I came across a curious phenomenon: many women’s forums are full of negative reviews of Procter&Gamble products (Tide, Ariel, “Myth”, Tix, Dreft powders). If every second review criticizes Ariel, should it be abandoned? However, the problems described by forum members are very similar and somehow the brand’s opponents support each other too much in unison.

I am sure that this is a planned action (I myself do not use the company’s products and cannot say anything about the quality of its powders). Girls, let's figure it out and find the truth by answering the survey:

Also measure out enough, but not excessive, amount of powder. If you add any more detergent, the total amount washing powder we need to cut back. Let's go back to our sheep. How to remove yellow sweat stains from white clothes using the right remedy for washing? Select the powder carefully, do not use the detergent for washing colored laundry, putting white clothes in the drum and vice versa. Among other things, powders with colored granules often leave multi-colored traces - these are not dissolved granules that stick to the fabric. Most of the time they start to come off after washing again, but sometimes they don’t.

Experienced Cleaners wash expensive snow-white items with liquid detergent. According to reviews, the spots disappear and do not appear again. If it's all about the powder, of course.

Proper washing

How to remove yellow stains on white linen? Incorrect washing mode and insufficient rinsing leads to the fact that powder and dirt remain in the fibers and turn yellow after washing.

Also, do not use hot water if you can do without it. High temperatures cause certain types of contaminants to become even more ingrained into fabrics. And the fabric itself turns yellow.

The same thing happens if perfume gets on the fabric, Eau de Toilette– they all contain rich compositions of various essential oils.

Sweat marks

Sweat contains urea, which, when it gets on clothes, begins to turn yellow. Deodorant only makes the situation worse: mixed with sweat, antiperspirant leaves even yellower, even more persistent stains.

The armpit area should be washed with soap twice a day (morning and evening). Then you need to thoroughly wipe the skin with a cotton towel and only then treat it with deodorant. You should also remove hair in time (which accumulates sweat and odor), and do not drink hot tea or eat spicy foods in hot weather - they provoke profuse sweating.

In hot weather, you can wipe this area of ​​the body with an alcohol solution. I carry hand sanitizer with me. If I feel that the antiperspirant is not doing its job, I spray my armpits with disinfectant and wipe it dry. paper napkin and apply deodorant. All! You don't have to worry until the end of the day.

And to protect your clothes from yellow spots under the arms, on the back and in other sweaty places, try wearing a T-shirt or T-shirt under blouses, sweaters. Thin items can be easily saved with the help of armpit pads: they are attached to the armhole. Very convenient and reliable.

Hard water

Water saturated with salts reacts with washing powder. Add a softening agent to the washing powder: table vinegar 9%, citric acid, soda ash, Calgon. Or install a filter for the water entering the washing machine.

Also, rust particles falling off the walls of old pipes, or water with a high iron content, stain things directly during washing and rinsing. After washing, rinse especially valuable items in water filtered through a thick cotton cloth.

Preparation for storage

Items that you put into storage for the winter should not be washed with fabric softener. Employees of elite sewing workshops and dry cleaners know, like no one else, how many damaged items fall into their hands after such processing.

Before storing, dry the items thoroughly, then iron them.

Proper storage, mold

This is important even before washing. The basket for dirty laundry should have holes so that moisture can evaporate. Dry items thoroughly after washing. Ventilate the closet and combat high humidity in the room.

Dampness and remaining dirt are very popular with the ubiquitous and extremely tenacious mold. When it starts to eat into the fabric, it can be difficult to get it out. Especially if the fungus has infected the cabinet walls.

Cabinet disinfection. Wipe the walls and shelves with 9% table vinegar mixed with water. Dry thoroughly. Ideally, it is advisable to use a quartz lamp, or expose the inside of the cabinet to sunlight.

Also, persistent marks are left by wardrobes made of chipboard or coated inside with varnish: chemicals react with wood, shavings and release substances that color white clothes. It is almost impossible to remove such stains.

Placed on shelves white paper(remnants of light wallpaper are very good for this purpose). Change the paper to new one periodically. Place things in open bags, leaving access for air. Once every 2-3 months, shake things up, rearranging them.

How to wash such things correctly

How to remove yellow stains from colored, white clothes yourself? It is important to prepare for washing correctly:

• Warm water. Wash soiled items in warm or cool water - when high temperature the stain may become even stronger.
• Sweat stains and chlorine. Such bleaches cannot be used to remove sweat stains: the protein reacts with the chlorine and leaves even darker, more permanent stains.
• Baby clothes. After bleaching, children's clothes need to be rinsed more thoroughly or even washed again with soap. Then the baby will wear his things calmly, without dermatitis. If there is a newborn baby in the house, it is better to avoid the powder altogether until it is the immune system, the liver will not get stronger.
• Test! Test any substance in an inconspicuous place.
• Latex gloves. To protect the skin of your hands, use gloves.

Yellow stains can be washed off!

Opinion from forums: what are the causes of stains?

• Rust in water. Wash delicate items by hand using water that has been strained through a thick sieve. The rust that abundantly covers the pipes and gets into the washing machine leaves those same red marks. Straining the water will get rid of the problem.

Advice from Chistyuli: you can also install a water pre-purification filter for household appliances. The device purifies water from rust and makes it softer.

• Insect larvae and eggs. Before storing items, turn them inside out and pack them in bleach bags. If stains appear, then at least on the wrong side.
• Sticky rust. Yellow stains are rust from water adhering to stains from sweat and grease. First, wash off the sweat (in cold water with laundry soap) or grease (in hot water with special means). Then treat the stain with Sillit for teapots and coffee makers. Throw it in the machine and wash it. It is curious that if the sweat and grease are not removed, the rust will not be removed either. Read about it here.
• The seal in the washer leaked. This is a rubber clamp that protects the washing machine bearing from water. All bearings are filled with greasy grease, which gets into water and stains things. One of the signs of a leaking oil seal is oil stains and rust under the machine.
• Mold. Keep your closet dry and thoroughly dry items being stored. It is very useful to dry things in the sun - ultraviolet light perfectly disinfects fabric.
• "Linen fungus." The popular name for mold that has settled in the closet, which affects not only white, but also painted things, often “eating” their color. The wardrobe must be disinfected with Formidron (tread carefully, it is poison), and the laundry must be washed with chlorine.
• Sebum. It's enough for you to do it yourself, or Small child I grabbed your dress with my hands, and immediately invisible greasy marks left on the fabric. They appear after washing or long storage in the closet.

There will be no signature - I have no words

This section may contradict others that describe the same remedies as effective. The reason is that in different cases one and the same stain remover acts differently: it can either save a thing or be powerless.

The problem is solved by the selection method: test different products, and you will definitely find the right one. So, the following are noticed in powerlessness:

• Antipyatin soap;
• Udalix oxygen bleach;
• bleach Sarma Active (Sarma Active);
• powerful Profoam;
• Fairy dish gel;
• bleach "Vanish";
• ammonia 10%;
• lemon juice;
• lemon acid;
• bleach "Ace";
• chlorine bleach, “Whiteness”;
• hydrogen peroxide 3%;
• laundry soap 72%;
• bleach "Eared nanny";
• and other means.

So…

Dear Clean! Let your things shine with crystal purity!

Dear Clean! I wish you a direct hit the first time! Let all the stains on your clothes disappear without a trace, and let the reason turn out to be banal and simple.
