Bleach is a powerful oxidizing agent used to remove stains from clothing and dye or bleach clothing. You need to pay attention to the following points when using bleach correctly:
1. Confirm that the fabric is suitable: Bleach is not suitable for all types of fabrics. Certain fibers such as silk and wool are very sensitive to bleach and can be easily damaged. Before using bleach, be sure to read the washing instructions on the clothing label to confirm whether the fabric can be bleached.
2. Wear protective equipment: When using bleach, be sure to wear protective equipment, including rubber gloves and goggles, to avoid contact with skin or Eye.
3. Soaking time control: Soaking for too long may cause damage to the clothes or excessive fading. Normally, according to the bleach instructions, the time of soaking the clothes in the diluted bleach solution should not exceed 30 minutes.
4. Bleach dilution: Bleach generally needs to be diluted with water before use. Follow the directions on the bleach bottle and mix the bleach with just the right amount of water to create a low-concentration solution.
5. Pay attention to the ventilated environment: When using bleach, maintaining a well-ventilated environment can reduce its irritation and harm to the human body.
6. Bleach post-treatment: After using bleach to treat clothes, be sure to rinse them thoroughly. Thoroughly wash away any bleach residue and rinse again with clean water to prevent residual bleach from causing damage to the fabric or causing allergies.
It should be noted that due to the strong chemical properties of bleach, it may cause irreversible damage to the fabric, so it is best to do it before using bleach. Test on a small scale to ensure the fabric can withstand bleach treatment. Additionally, if you are unsure whether you should use bleach on a specific garment, it is recommended to seek advice from a professional dry cleaner or the garment manufacturer.
