In the daily cleaning of clothes, we usually use laundry detergent or washing powder in the washing machine to wash clothes. But for some close-fitting clothes, underwear and underwear are still hand-washed. After all, it will be healthier if personal items are cleaned properly.
I usually use soap to wash underwear. Recently, I have used several soaps. One of the soaps has a really amazing cleaning effect. I am here to tell you all the sisters who are used to washing underwear with soap.
Let me talk about the characteristics of laundry soap first.
Laundry soap is a classic detergent that is usually solid and consists of natural vegetable oils, alkaline substances and water. Laundry soap is relatively simple to make and does not require extensive processing steps. It effectively removes stains while being relatively gentle on sensitive skin. Laundry soaps are generally free of synthetic fragrances, colors, and chemical additives, making them more environmentally friendly.
Laundry soap removes stains through the action of surfactant molecules (also known as surfactants). These molecules have a special structure that can simultaneously adsorb stain molecules and water molecules on surfactant molecules, thereby dispersing stains in water. This allows the stain molecules to be effectively rinsed out of the clothes for a clean finish.
Laundry soap works on different types of stains, the main ones are:
Grease stains: Laundry soaps are usually better at removing greasy stains. Surfactants are able to surround and disperse oil molecules in water, making them fall off from clothing. However, some stubborn oily stains may require pretreatment or special stain removal methods.
Sweat stains: Sweat stains usually contain ingredients such as salt and protein, and laundry soap is also effective in removing stains. However, some perspiration stains, such as repeated buildup of sweat stains on clothing, may require more washes or a laundry soap with a stronger detergent formulation.
Other Stains: Laundry soap is usually good for general stains like food residue, dust, etc. However, for some special types of stains, such as red wine, fruit juice, ink, etc., additional stain removal treatments may be required.
Simple to use is to apply soap directly, lather, rub with hands, and rinse with water. But for some more stubborn stains, you still need to have skills.
To get the most out of your laundry soap's stain-removing power, here are some tips you can consider:
Pretreatment: For tougher stains, you can pretreat before washing. For example, dabbing some laundry soap on a greasy stain and rubbing it in will help loosen the stain.
Warm Water: Washing in warm water increases the stain-removing effect of laundry soap. Warm water helps to speed up the movement of the surfactant molecules, allowing for better stain removal.
Choose a Strong-Strength Formula: Some laundry soap brands offer strong-strength formulas that target tough stains, so you can choose according to your needs.
The laundry soap that I am currently using is surprisingly effective, Fan Brand Laundry Soap. Whether it's washing underwear, or children's shoes and socks, or school bags, smear it with a soapy brush and scrub it, there is no one hundred percent, but there is also a ninety-eight percent decontamination effect. You must try it.
If you have some common stains on your clothes, such as oil or sweat, using a moderate amount of laundry soap can usually remove them effectively. For tougher stains, you can pretreat by dabbing laundry soap onto the stain before going through the normal wash cycle.
