How to find out: things molt or not?

Naturally, we all know from a young age that we should separately wash white and color things, dark and light, from each other. But this does not mean at all that other multi-colored clothes can be thrown into the machine in one fell swoop and not sorted. It is also necessary to separate molting things from non-molting things.

Important! The part of the wardrobe that is made of natural materials, in particular brand-new things, richly colored, is more often prone to this problem. You can also separately learn in more detail about what fabrics and things are dyed most often.

In order to determine certain things for color fastness, a kind of testing is necessary. There are several ways to carry it out:

  1. You need to moisten a small piece of clothing in warm water, squeeze it well and iron it through a white cloth or paper with an iron. If the ink print remains on paper, you will have to take care of fixing the color, and then wash these things separately from others.
  2. Often on the inside of the clothes there are sewn shreds near the seam. It is necessary to cut them and soak for ten minutes in ammonia. After you rinse this shred, it must be attached to the thing and check whether the color has changed or not.
  3. In a basin, draw warm water and add a little soap, and then drop a new thing into this solution and let it lie there for 10-15 minutes. Then take it out, wring it out, tightly wrap it in a snow-white cotton cloth. If spots remain on it or if water in the basin becomes colored, this will indicate that the thing is prone to molting and it also needs to be washed separately from other things.
