There is never a shortage of bleach at home, there are even those who use it to wash the dishes, to remove scale, to whiten the sink or to wash clothes.
Bleach is useful when you want to whiten stained white clothes, disinfect, or wash the floor.
Maybe in reality, sometimes, we believe that it is a lifesaver and is overrated, because if used incorrectly and at the wrong time, it can cause irreparable damage .
Incorrect use of bleach on clothing
We know that bleach is a chemical that disinfects clothes and whitens yellowed clothes. Unfortunately, however, when you wash clothes and use bleach, you need to pay attention to several little things that make a difference.
The first thing to keep in mind when using bleach is not to mix white clothes with colored clothes. Only those that resist high temperatures are suitable for bleaching, these are mostly white or at most beige garments .
For this reason, bleach should not be used on silk or lace garments , nor in any case on delicate fabrics, because at high temperatures, when they come into contact with this product, they shrink, cook, change color and can even turn yellow. In addition, you must also pay attention to the doses of bleach used to wash and disinfect clothes, because excessive doses destroy the cotton and instead of whitening, they irreparably stain.
Tips to avoid ruining clothes with bleach
We recommend using a maximum of 175 ml of bleach per full load. Also, remember that you should always place it in the washing machine drawer and pour it before the clothes and never after or directly into the drum.
