How to wash trousers in a washing machine
Every modern man has elegant trousers in his wardrobe. Products must be cleaned periodically to maintain their impeccable appearance. We’ll talk further about how to properly wash men’s trousers in a washing machine.
Step-by-step instructions for machine washing
You need to understand that not every trouser can be washed automatically. The first thing you need to do is figure out what fabric the clothes are made of and study the care information provided on the manufacturer's label. After examining the tag, you will understand whether the item can be loaded into the washing machine or whether hand washing is still necessary, whether the material can withstand ironing, etc. If there are no prohibitions on automatically washing suit trousers, you can safely load them into the drum. The algorithm of actions will be as follows:
- carefully fold the trousers along the arrows and, after wrapping the trouser leg several times, place it in the drum;
- Using the selector, select a washing mode whose parameters strictly correspond to the type of trouser fabric. Some washing machines have a special “Pants” program, in which case the housewife’s choice will be obvious;
- carefully ensure that the water temperature in the tank does not exceed 40 degrees;
- set the spin speed of the item, it should not exceed 800 rotations per minute. In some cases, it is better not to use the spin function;
- pour the required amount of powder or liquid detergent into the tray;
- start the process.
To wash trousers in an automatic washing machine, it is recommended to use a special bag; it will protect the products from damage and excessive creasing of the material.
Clean clothes must be placed on special “hangers” and hung over the bathtub so that excess water drains away quickly. After excess moisture has been removed, dry the trousers in a well-ventilated room.
Be sure to consider the type of fabric
It is very important to determine the type of material from which the trousers are made. Based on this information, you should select the main washing mode and parameters. Let's look at the types of fabrics most often used in the manufacture of trouser products.
- Cashmere, wool, tweed. The listed materials are considered very demanding and require special care. These trousers should be washed in water no hotter than 35 degrees. If you find stubborn stains on things, it is better to entrust cleaning to specialists.
- Linen, cotton. Linen and cotton products can be washed in many programs: “Cotton”, “Cotton quickly”, “Pants”, “Hand wash”, etc. Such materials tolerate processing well. But it is worth noting that it is not advisable to rinse them in cold water.
- Velveteen. Automatic washing of corduroy trousers is contraindicated; it is preferable to clean them manually.
By following these tips, you can wash your trousers as efficiently as possible. A competent approach to cleaning will preserve all the quality and appearance of the product for a long time.
Wash in the traditional way
The best way to clean up your trousers is to hand wash them. In fact, the process is quite easy and will not take much of your time. The sequence of actions will be as follows:
- remove all items from your pockets;
- The zipper should be fastened, and so should the existing buttons;
- fill a bathtub or large basin with clean water at a temperature of no more than 40 °C;
- immerse your pants in water;
- prepare a soap solution in another container;
- Use a brush to spread the soap suds over the surface of the trousers;
- leave things for half an hour, this will allow the dirt to dissolve;
- Rinse the items well.
To avoid severe bruising, do not twist the trousers when spinning. It is better to hang a wet product on hangers - this way unnecessary water will drain, and the rest will evaporate during further drying.
