The common cleaning method used daily is washing clothes with water. In hard water areas, due to the high hardness of the water, about 20%-40% of the residue combines with calcium salts during washing, greatly increasing the consumption of soaps and other detergents. Using the correct water washing method can significantly reduce consumption and improve cleaning quality.
(1) Boiling wash method. Boiling can remove oil stains and bacteria from clothes. It is simple and easy; just immerse the clothes in boiling water to sterilize and remove oil. When work clothes have heavy stains or lubricant spots, some pure kerosene can be added to the boiling pot. Alternatively, the following method can be used: take 8 liters of water in a boiling pot, then add 100 grams of soap, 30 grams of soda (sodium carbonate), 30 grams of silica gel, and 8 milliliters of kerosene, mix evenly, then put cotton and linen products into the boiling pot for boiling wash.
(2) Bleaching method. Bleaching can clean heavily soiled clothes, kill bacteria, and disinfect. The method is simple, only requiring bleaching powder or hydrogen peroxide. The steps are: first dissolve 10-15 grams of bleaching powder in 5-8 milliliters of water to form a paste, then add 1 liter of water and let it stand until the solution becomes clear, then add 3 kilograms of clothes for bleaching. Using hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching agent prevents damage to clothes. When using, take 10-15 milliliters of 3% hydrogen peroxide and add it to 2 liters of water. To speed up rinsing, a small amount of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, or ammonia water can be added, keeping the bleaching water temperature around 30 degrees Celsius. If the water temperature is heated to 60-70 degrees, the bleaching time will be shorter.
