Workwear, whether used in cooking, mechanics, or in medical trades, is particularly exposed to stubborn spots. Often, a simple machine wash is not enough. How to remove brands of fat, oil, sauce or other products that impregnate the fabrics? Here's a complete guide to removing the stains from your three-step work outfit.
Why use these methods to remove blemishes?
Working clothing often accumulates deep and persistent stains. These spots can be permanently fixed to the fibers, making the standard washings ineffective. This three-step method, which starts with a Marseille soap treatment and uses the cleansing properties of the soda crystals, will allow even the stubborn spots to be removed from your workwear.
Treating stains with Marseille soap
Marseille soap is known for its natural efficacy on inlaid spots. Here's how to do it:
Lightly moisten the soap and rub it directly onto the stain.
Massage the stained area until a thin layer of soap covers the stain.
Leave to dry for about an hour. This allows the soap to penetrate the fibers and start dissolving the residues of grease or dirt.
After the laying time, rub the stain again. This maximizes the effect of the soap before moving on to the next step.
Pre-soak the garment in a solution of water and sodium crystals
Sodium crystals (or sodium carbonate) are particularly effective. They make it possible to remove stains from dirty work clothes. Both degreasing and cleaning agents, they act deeply on the inlaid spots.
Steps to be taken:
1. In a bucket, mix hot water with a small handful of soda crystals.
2. Immerse the garment previously treated with Marseille soap in the mixture and soak it for one hour.
3. Use gloves when handling sodium crystals, as they may be irritating to the skin.
The naturally degreasing soda crystals help to remove resistant dirt while deodorizing the tissue. This step is crucial to ensure that the stains will not remain after the final washing.
Machine for deep cleaning
Once the pre-soaking is complete, put the garment into a machine for a complete cleaning.
Adjust the machine to the temperature appropriate to the type of fabric of your work outfit (see the garment label).
Use a soft detergent to avoid damaging the fibres, especially if the fabric is often exposed to aggressive products.
The switch to a machine will allow the residues of soap and soda crystals to be rinsed, thus ensuring a clean, fresh working outfit ready for a new day.
Why is this method ideal for your work clothes?
These three steps not only make it possible to remove stains effectively, but also to preserve the durability and freshness of your work clothes. By using natural products such as Marseille soap and soda crystals, you avoid aggressive chemicals and opt for an environmentally friendly solution.
In addition, this method is suitable for a variety of trades, whether you are in the kitchen, in a garage, or in a medical practice. By following these simple steps, you can keep work clothes without stains and without odor, in just a few hours.
In summary: Removing the stains from your workwear should not be a chore. With a little Marseille soap, soda crystals and machine washing, you will give your clothes a second life, without excessive effort. Try this method to keep your clothes impeccable and ready to withstand a new working day.
