Wipes for washing
More recently, an amazing novelty appeared on the shelves of hardware stores - washing napkins. This is such an unusual thing that many housewives look at them with doubt. It doesn’t fit in your head: how can a piece of cloth (similar in appearance to a normal baby wet towel) replace a handful of washing powder?
Those who have already ventured to try them in action out of curiosity or on the advice of acquaintances assure that they really work, and one such napkin adequately copes with a complete laundry washing machine. In this article you will find interesting information about this miraculous novelty and find out how it works to determine whether a product is worth replacing with conventional laundry detergents.
to contents ↑How it works?
Wipes for washing are an innovative and convenient tool that erases clothes due to the content of concentrated phytocomplexes (palm and aloe extract). In addition, the manufacturer claims that the added non-ionic surfactants, enzymes and other natural components:
- help to cope with spots of various origins, static electricity;
- soften the fabric;
- give it a light, unobtrusive aroma.
These substances quickly penetrate deep into the fibers, and then they are washed out of them without problems. Thus, when you wash, for example, a jacket or dark trousers, there will be no stains, as after a normal powder.
When you put a napkin in the drum of a washing machine:
- The concentrate dissolves in water, and here begins the "mystery of washing."
- During rinsing, the detergent completely leaves the fabric without residue.
- At the end of the cycle, you take out clean linen and discard the used napkin with a sense of accomplishment.
to contents ↑Important! One such piece of cloth is enough to wash 5-5.5 kg of laundry. For machines with a small load (about 3 kg), you can divide it in half. Then the packs will be enough for more washes.
And also different types
Napkins of this type are divided into those that are intended directly for washing, and those that prevent the shedding of colored things. These pieces of non-woven fabric are saturated with a concentrated detergent or a substance that prevents the fabric from staining.
Napkins “Trap for color”
Such wipes should only be used in conjunction with washing powder. Their main task is to prevent the paint from “crawling” from one thing to another.
In order for our clothes with the usual cleaning agent to maintain the original brightness of the colors, it is necessary to sort and wash separately white, separately black, separately red, and so on. This process is not particularly annoying in the case when the family is large, and you do not have to wait 2 weeks to accumulate, for example, white to load a full drum.
But what if there is little washing? Do not lie in a dirty red blouse waiting for a month for a “suitable company”? You can, of course, wash such things manually separately, but you don’t really want to do this, since more water and time are spent.
It is for this that napkins are intended against staining or, as they are sometimes called, “color traps”. You just put a napkin in the drum and load white with color, without sorting.
Important! The concentrated substance contained in the napkins, not only prevents the staining of fabrics, but also softens them, washing out of the laundry without residue. A pleasant bonus will be a delicate aroma.

The advantages of linen for washing clothes:
- Each mother will be pleased that these washcloths do not contain harmful household chemicals. Their action is based on natural substances (phytocomponents). Therefore, you can safely wash underwear with these napkins, clothes of younger family members, things of allergy sufferers and asthmatics.
Important! According to reviews of real users, it follows that the aroma of linen after washing is delicate, floral, unobtrusive.
- A significant advantage is that there is no need to spend extra on rinsing agents, antistatic, air conditioners - all this is already contained in the acquired small piece of fabric. Stain removers are also not needed.
Important! If you doubt that when washing the stains from grass or berries will go away, just before rubbing the cycle in the machine, simply rub them with a damp washing cloth, and then put the clothes in the drum and wash as usual.
- Wipes for washing are affordable for the average housewife. If you calculate the cost of 1 wash with such a novelty and compare with the costs in the usual cycle with powder in combination with air conditioning, stain remover, etc., then they do not differ much, and sometimes washing with a napkin comes out cheaper.
Important! A pack of napkins replaces about 2 kg of washing powder or a 1 liter bottle of washing gel.
- In addition, it is very convenient to use such an innovation. During use, you do not wake up on the floor, do not spill past the detergent drawer, you do not need to think about measuring cups. In addition, you will not be able to pull heavy bags of powders and gels from the store, and the napkins take up a minimum of space. You can take them with you on a trip or to the country. I threw it in my bag - and the laundry set is always at hand. Solid amenities, especially for the elderly. Such a gift can please an old grandmother. She will not have to rack her brains over the dosage of the powder and clean up the spilled - she just puts a napkin with the laundry, and will not worry about anything.
- If you use anti-stain wipes, you will no longer have to sort clothes. This will save time and effort, because you don’t have to wait until the right amount of black or red accumulates to wash them together. And the cost of electricity and water will also be more economical, because instead of 2-3 cycles, you will produce one.
