How to bleach nylon tulle at home

Spring is here! The sun's rays gently glance out the window, and immediately highlight an unsightly problem: the window curtains, most recently shining with snow-white purity, turned into a gray dull, shabby rag, otherwise you can not name it.

How to bleach nylon tulle at home? There are many ways, but we will focus on the most reliable and safe for curtains and for health.

Is it possible to eradicate the causes of evil so that the tulle does not get dirty?

Impossible. Prevention will not work. There are a lot of pollution factors:

1. Even if sterile cleanliness reigns in the house, dust and soot flying from the window will still do their dirty work.
2. In the presence of a smoking household, the curtains necessarily acquire disgusting yellowness.
3. Cats and dogs really like to sit on the windowsill, and they always wipe their dirty noses, paws on the tulle, waving their tail dust from the windowsill with a radius of up to half a meter.
4. Kids stain tulle with unimaginable pollution - sweets, paints, glue, that is, everything that comes to hand.
5. Oddly enough, some mistresses in the house are the main pollutant of tulle, the more often they brush dust off furniture with fashionable synthetic brushes, such as “Go Duster,” the more it settles on tulle.

Why did we deal with the reasons? In order to determine the nature of the spots and first properly wash the curtains to remove them. And whitening is already the final stage.

Proper washing of kapron tulle

It happens that after washing, bleaching is not required, as today's powders, gels have oxygen and optical brighteners in their composition. Tulle is a very specific material, when washing you need to follow some rules.

1. The first stage - shake it on the street so that excess dust will fly away.
2. The second is soaking. First, put in cold water for half an hour, change the water, repeat the procedure until the time the water becomes clear. If there are no spots left, only a gray tint can be machine washed. If there are yellow streaks, dissolve a portion of biopowder in water, leave overnight. Greasy stains are also soaked in a solution of water and dishwashing detergent.
3. Washing: you need to fold the tulle carefully, otherwise there will be creases, it is better to wrap the “roll" in a special bag for washing. Mode - delicate wash.

If there is no typewriter (we live in a village without running water), just remove the tulle from the basin after soaking, rinse until the soap flows in the river disappear. After the soap disappears, rinse for shine with a cold aqueous solution of acetic acid (1 tsp per 5 liters).

Washing does not always give a positive result: the color of the tulle remains gray, it has lost its luster, yellow spots remain, which means we are starting to bleach.
