How to remove fresh and old spots from a banana on children's clothes?
Banana is a favorite fruit of many children of all ages, and by tradition, kids do not observe special care when eating them. The mothers of such lovers should take into account recommendations on how to remove stains from a banana on children's clothes, so that you do not have to put quality things on rags.
It is worth considering that such formations are completely difficult to completely remove. Especially if they are old or have already been made not very productive attempts to remove them. But the question can still be resolved if you do not make a common mistake - try to clean a fresh or dried banana with hot water and soap. From this effect, the spots only darken, finally settling on the subject of clothing.
What to do with a fresh stain?
The chances of success and the full restoration of children's things increase if you act very quickly. It is best to start processing the stain immediately after it is detected, while it is still wet, and the juice has not eaten into the texture of the fibers. If the situation is not conducive to the timely processing of education, then it must be at least thoroughly rubbed with wet wipes. Then even after a few hours it will still be possible to remove it.
Tip: It is strictly forbidden to use scented wipes to treat traces of banana and other fruits. They can remove traces of pulp and prevent the formation of a characteristic spot, but leave behind stubborn stains. It is better to do simple alcoholic products or even cold water.
Fresh impurities from banana pulp can be washed with cool water without the addition of detergents. In addition, the use of lemon juice or oxalic acid is very useful and effective. True, if the first option allows you to quite gently wipe the fabric, the second tool is quite caustic. It is customary to resort to its use only as a last resort, using the composition literally drop by drop.
In both cases, first prepare a solution of cool water and a few drops of the main component. Then we apply the composition to the surface of the stain, wait a few minutes and wash the item of children's clothing in ordinary, slightly warm water. A positive point is the fact that the above methods do not lead to a change in the initial color of the fabric.
With what can a chronic education be derived?
In cases where the banana stains have already dried, the use of stain removers or bleaches is indispensable.
- Garments made of linen and cotton, especially white, can be safely treated with bleach or modern stain removers. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the fabric, otherwise the fibers may be damaged.
- Colored fabrics can only be treated with oxygen bleaches, best in gel form. A fabric with a banana stain is first moistened in cold water, then poured with a small amount of gel and left for several hours (according to the instructions). After that, you need to check the quality of the spot. If it has softened and lost its severity, it can be washed in a machine using the gentle mode. If necessary, soaking in the gel is repeated several times.
- In addition, today housewives actively use Vanish, dry cleaners, oxygen sprays for these purposes. The main thing is to act strictly according to the instructions, otherwise there is a risk of tissue damage.
- To quickly and efficiently remove a banana stain, you can try Antipyatin soap. True, it is worth considering that soaping will have to be carried out several times, and this can affect the state of things. In extreme cases, the use of a simple laundry soap is allowed, but there is one caveat.After the area in which the dried banana is soaped, the product must be laid out in the sun. After half an hour, we wash it in a little warm water, rinse and dry it. Experienced housewives even managed to notice that a simple stay of a banana spot in the sun for a long time leads to its fading.
Unfortunately, even the highest quality modern enzyme powders (namely, they are recommended for washing children's clothes) are not able to remove stains from most fruits or vegetables. But to make them more resistant, they are quite capable.
