After watching this video, your life will never be the same. Just think: our dresses, T-shirts and jeans are simply never clean.
How nice it is to put on a T-shirt that smells fresh in the morning. Or a shirt, dress, linen, whatever, the main thing is that the thing is only from washing, perfectly clean. You really have no idea what it is like. Why? Yes, because after washing in an automatic machine, things are never perfectly clean – this was proved on TikTok using one simple test that is easy to repeat at home.
This experiment is called “Undressing the Lingerie”. The bottom line is this: the author of the video pulls out the cleanest clothes from the washing machine, dries and puts them in a bathtub filled with warm water with the addition of baking soda, washing powder and borax. Borax, or borax, is the sodium salt of boric acid. You probably don’t keep it at home, so instead of borax, you can put a spoonful of oxygenated bleach in the water.
Put clean clothes in this “compote” and let it lie down for an hour or two so that it is properly soaked in soapy water. “I left things in the water for four hours. It is unlikely that so much is needed, I just forgot about it, ”says one of those who dared to repeat the experiment.
After that, the laundry must be pulled out and wrung out. And send it back to the wash – the color of the water in the bathroom will eloquently explain that your washed clothes are actually quite dirty. And in general, it was not for nothing that our mothers soaked their linen before washing.
This simple video has been watched over a million times. “After this procedure, the clothes are really clean. It just shines, ”sums up the author of the acclaimed video.
Interview
Do you soak your laundry before washing?
No, never.
Only if I wash something very dirty.
My machine has a soaking mode, I use it sometimes.
Yes, I always do that.
By the way
But some clothes designers do not recommend washing at all. That is, never. For example, Levi’s director Chip Berg said that he hadn’t washed his jeans for ten years – and they are as good as new. And, importantly, they are clean. Instead of washing, he simply puts them in the freezer. The cold kills bacteria and freshens the fabric. And if suddenly there is a trouble in the form of a stain, then Chip washes the jeans by hand.
Iconic designer Stella McCartney doesn’t wash jeans either. And not just jeans. For example, she doesn’t change bras every day. And he does not advise washing suits in a typewriter at all: they can only be taken to dry cleaning. Pants, for example, can be worn 8 times, then only for cleaning.
