Riddles for men: why does a wife put aspirin in a washing machine?

This story happened not so long ago, and I am very sorry that this has not happened before. Having visited my friend, I got to her at the time of laying the laundry in the washer. I thought something was hurting her, because at that time she took out a packet of aspirin from the locker. But, to my surprise, Olya soaked aspirin and put it in the washing machine. When I saw the result of washing, he simply stunned me: the linen just shone with white. I've never done it before.

Adding Aspirin When Washing In A Washing Machine

Why linen pills - why treat it?

Since then, I also use this miracle remedy. That's because I have never seen the best bleach in my life. Just imagine washing with aspirin will help you:

  • bleach the grayed things (mine began to look even better than after the expensive bleach, which I used before);
  • rid them of yellow spots;
  • remove sweat and various impurities from the smell;
  • Do not spoil the fabric (unlike the same chlorine);
  • Do not harm the car (but, on the contrary, even clean it);
  • save, and pretty good (just compare the prices of high-quality bleaches and acetylsalicylic acid).

In white, any of us looks royal. But this color has one significant drawback: it shows the slightest dirt. In addition, from frequent washes, and sometimes from the improper use of bleaches, white things quickly acquire a gray or yellowish tint, which is not so easy to deal with. An aspirin tablet will help prevent the situation by preventing a strong loss of whiteness, and soaking with it will save significantly damaged things. Wash yourself - you will see the result.

And do not think about which drug is needed: UPSA, cardio, with vitamin C or regular acetyl. For washing, absolutely any of them will do, the difference is only in price. But the best effervescent forms dissolve.

For bleaching, a drug whose expiration date has expired is quite suitable. You can thus usefully use your home pharmacy delay: it’s absolutely not important for the bleaching properties of aspirin. Overdue will cope with the task in the same way as a new one.

Washing clothes with aspirin in a washing machine

How to wash clothes with aspirin in a washing machine?

For washing clothes, which only slightly lost their whiteness, a quick way is quite suitable - without soaking. Take a few tablets - the more linen, the more drug - grind them. You can lightly sprinkle with water (they get wet pretty quickly), and then crush it). Mix with a liquid detergent (it is also possible with ordinary powder, but wet acetyl is much more effective) and pour it onto the laundry in the drum of the machine (dry powder, of course, is poured into the cuvette). Then it remains to choose the appropriate mode and start the cycle.

Saving badly damaged things

If the linen has long lost its original whiteness, intensive bleaching is required - do not do without preliminary soaking. To do this, you must:

  1. soak and crush half an aspirin blister (5 tablets);
  2. add the resulting mass to 7-8 liters of warm water;
  3. soak laundry in this solution;
  4. leave it for at least 8 hours;
  5. wash by hand or in a washing machine.

Dry things after such "resuscitation" in the sun, if there is such an opportunity: under its rays, the acid will additionally show whitening properties. Well, to be sure that you will save your things, you can add a couple of tablets after soaking in the drum of the machine.

Limescale Prevention

But that's not all that ordinary aspirin can do. With its help it is possible to prevent the formation of scale (and remove its non-critical deposits) on the heating element of the washing machine.To do this, again take half a blister of antipyretic, slightly moisten, crush and dilute with air conditioning. Pour into the compartment for the air conditioner, start the cycle of idle washing (without linen).

Of course, persistent stratifications of salts cannot be removed in this way, but until the problem has become catastrophic, acetyl can be a good helper. After all, it is an acid that acts by analogy, for example, with citric acid. The main thing is to carry out such prevention systematically, at least once every six months (and if your water is very hard, then more often).

Since I learned about such an effective, and besides, inexpensive bleach, I use only washing with aspirin for my white items. I highly advise you: try it. I’m sure you won’t regret it.

The dazzling whiteness of your favorite things!

With respect to our female work, Natalya Gorelykh, housewife.

      Aspirin is not an acid in chemical properties, but only in name.

    I didn’t notice after washing that white things became whiter. That which has lost its original whiteness can only be returned by chemistry, for example, with chlorine.

    Yes, something didn’t whiten the T-shirt very much! Rather, it remained the same as before soaking!

    Any acid removes scale well, but destroys the machine. The drum crosses are made of silumin, and it is destroyed by acids.

      Done right. And the higher the concentration (kilots), the more intense the corrosion of metal, and the more silumin! In other matters, it also applies to alkalis (soda),

    The master said you can’t clean the car with citric acid, which eats something there. I advised half a glass of washing soda and a temperature of 90. Do it once every half a year with an empty drum. Cleans mash and germs perish.

    Very helpful tip. And our domestic cough tablets are indispensable when cleaning carpets. And I also noticed a remedy for hemorrhoids if applied with a brush to the shoes helps a lot in the slush.

    Previously, linen was boiled with bleach and persol, linen was clean and without stains, this is all a thing of the past. And washing machines do not boil linen, so you have to look for an alternative.

    I tried on the advice of a friend to put acetyl in the car, but did not feel the difference.
    I use Faberlik oxygen bleach and it suits me and the conditioner powder. I also use the same company, the Bio series.

    From the point of view of chemistry, aspirin is simply an acid and no more. Is it worth it to invent a bicycle when, when washing, you can add ordinary table vinegar. You yourself know, when pickling, someone throws aspirin into jars, and someone pours vinegar, the result is the same. There is no vinegar, throw aspirin into the car, but is it worth it?

    .Try bleach;; barefoot; - I never wash clothes at temperatures above 40 degrees. If there are sins, stains, the color is not bright, I use barefoot in the main wash, rinse 5 times. Try it, you won’t regret it - saving time, email. energy, and at high temperatures the dirt evaporates and do not wash it ..
