Anti-staining wipes
Recently, the assortment of hardware stores has been replenished with fabric rags, which the manufacturer presents as a safe and convenient alternative to gels, powders and other washing chemicals. They not only wash, but also prevent shedding and color fading. It sounds dubious, but more and more housewives are choosing special anti-staining wipes. We suggest you figure out why they are good, what they are needed for and what they are like. A mini-review of such tools and a step-by-step “instruction” with recommendations will help with this.
Getting to know the product
Washing cloths are an innovative household chemical product that is designed to make life easier for washing machine users. They come in two types: some are designed for full washing, and the second prevent color from shedding. Despite their miniature size, “rags” are able to remove even stubborn dirt from clothes. All thanks to the effective and safe composition. They are based on aloe and palm extracts, concentrated phytocomplexes, nonionic surfactants, enzymes, optical brighteners and other natural cleansing components.
One washing cloth can wash up to 5 kg of dry laundry.
As for the principle of operation of the patches, everything here is also clear and explainable. As soon as the drum is filled with water, the active substances contained in the fabric begin to dissolve and penetrate into the fibers of the clothes being washed. Bleaching agents and extracts displace dirt from within, leaving laundry free of organic and inorganic stains. At the same time, the material is softened, aromatized and disinfected, and special components enhance color and shine.When rinsing, all cleaning elements are quickly washed away, leaving no marks, streaks or residue.
There will be no problems with the dosage of napkins - one rag is designed for 5 kg of dirty laundry. But if the washing machine’s capacity is about 3-4 kg or partial loading is often practiced, then you can divide the product into two parts. For this purpose, perforation is provided on the canvas.
How to wash with napkins?
Napkins are used for both hand washing and automatic washing. The color and type of fabric being washed does not matter - the product is absolutely universal. Moreover, now the linen does not need to be sorted into light, colored and dark, since the shreds prevent shedding and will not allow, for example, red to stain white. The main thing is to follow the rules of their use given on the packaging and remember some recommendations. The napkins are easy to use. Machine washing instructions look like this:
- put the required number of washing rags into the drum (at the rate of 1 napkin per 5 kg of dry laundry);
- load things by placing them on top of the napkin;
- add powder and conditioner (if the cloth is not for washing, but only for protection against staining!);
- select the appropriate mode, focusing on the type of fabric;
- click “Start” and start the cycle;
- at the end of washing, take out the napkin along with the laundry;
- Dispose of the cloth according to the instructions.
One washing napkin is equal to 1 cap of gel or 2 measuring spoons of powder in terms of the amount of active substance.
When washing by hand, the miracle napkin is used a little differently. First, put a piece of washing cloth in a basin, fill it with water and shake it with your hand until foam appears. Dip the clothes into the resulting highly concentrated solution and wash as usual.Afterwards, focusing on the type of fabric, rinse and wring out. After use, the napkin is disposed of.

At the beginning of the article it is stated that the wipes have a safe composition, but may contain optical brighteners! Optical brighteners are not safe substances at all! They cause severe skin irritation and many other problems. In addition, they are not washed out of the fabric, but are embedded in its fibers. They should absolutely not be used for children's underwear and underwear for people with sensitive skin.
