This is how to wash white clothes that have been stained in weeks

We asked Asaf Motello, product manager at BSH, the official importer of Constructa, to sort us out and find out the ways to remove the stubborn stains.

Assaf Motello, product manager at BSH, the official importer of the Constructa washing machine brand, prepared a guide for us that is worth 'cutting and saving' with the golden rules for white laundry.

"One of the things that may affect the quality of our laundry is the cleanliness of the washing machine," Motello explains. "It is important to make sure, before each operation, not only in the case of white laundry, that the washing machine drum is clean. In order to clean it, you can run the machine on the DrumClean program on the display or use the Cotton 90° program without washing, plus detergent in the chamber the soap". 

After we have made sure that the drum is clean, the laundry must be separated by color, Motello explains: "In order to preserve the white clothes, it is necessary to do the washing completely separately from all the other clothes of different colors. Not many people know, but even white items with inscriptions or prints may lose color, so it is recommended Avoid putting them in the washing machine together with the white laundry."

Another action you will be required to do before doing the white laundry is to read the washing recommendations on the garment label - "This is a rule of thumb for every wash you do. The label of the garment indicates the appropriate temperature for washing, whether it should be washed by hand or can be washed in a washing machine, as well as recommendations for drying. If there is none Label is recommended to wash at a temperature of up to 30 degrees and choose the lowest spin level (approximately 400 rpm)".

Most washing machines offer built-in programs such as Hand wash or Easy care, which are adapted to a wide variety of fabrics and it is recommended to use them by default.

Just before you put the pile of laundry into the machine, it is recommended to remove the stains manually - "It is important to give each stain your full attention. If the white garment has been stained during the holiday, it is important to remove the stains even before the washing step," Motello explains and adds, the stains can be removed using preparations designations or using dish soap without water - apply the soap to the stain and dry it well. It is also advisable to avoid wetting the stained garment in hot water, otherwise the stains may set on the fabric."

The clothes are in the machine, ready to be used and only powder and fabric softener can be added - it is advisable to avoid an excessive amount of preparations. Motello explains that residues of substances can cause your white clothes to turn yellow. There are cases where it is better to dry in a timed program and take out the item that is damp, and let it continue the drying process naturally. And when it comes to clothes made of delicate fabrics, it is recommended to avoid drying in the dryer. but to hang them on a hanger."

Now, when the clothes came out of the washing machine clean, fragrant and without stains, all that remains is to dry them. But this action should not be taken lightly either - "The drying process may also cause our white clothes to turn yellow, especially due to direct exposure to sunlight. Even in the case of drying, you should check the instructions on the label in order to choose the appropriate drying program for the type of fabric. Accordingly For the type of fabric, it is recommended to dry the clothes in the tumble dryer, and not on a rope with clips (which may leave marks)."
