But it hardly occurred to anyone to use this medicine as a stain remover. Meanwhile, removing stains with Aspirin can be much easier than with various SMS and bleaching compounds. You will learn a few proven recipes from our article.
Aspirin instead of bleach
Modern bleaching compositions are often designed for a specific type of fabric. So, proven for decades, "" can save a cotton tablecloth, but irrevocably destroy a silk blouse. Therefore, washing white linen often turns into a very troublesome task - things need to be sorted by composition, and then washed each batch separately, with a product suitable for it.
Aspirin can help simplify the process. Due to its acidic nature, it effectively copes with the return of whiteness to fibers from any materials and does not spoil them. To return yellowed or grayed white items to their original color, soak them in a solution of acetylsalicylic acid for 2-3 hours before washing. The concentration of the solution is one tablet per liter of water. After soaking, wash things as usual.
To remove Aspirin stains, use regular, insoluble tablets. "Effervescent Aspirin", regardless of the brand, will not give a whitening effect.
Find out the proven and most effective ways from clothes.
If there is no time for soaking, you can add Aspirin tablets to your machine wash detergent as a bleaching agent. To do this, they will have to be crushed into powder first, making sure that there are no large pieces left, or grated on a very fine grater (this is usually used for nuts and spices). Three tablets in this case will be enough for a full load of the standard washing machine. Mix them with washing powder, pour into the appropriate compartment of the machine and run the wash in a mode suitable for the laundry.
How to remove difficult stains with Aspirin
In addition to the general whitening effect, acetylsalicylic acid can be used for spot effects - as a stain remover. With its help, you can remove such impurities from white and colored fabrics as:
- splashes from the juice of fruits and berries;
- other organic stains.
To get rid of fresh stains, moisten them with water, then place the soiled item in a basin and pour a glass of warm water with an Aspirin tablet dissolved in it into the stained area. Leave the item for about an hour, then rinse and wash as usual. Most importantly, do not try to wash the stain with soap before soaking - the alkalis contained in its composition will negate the effect of acetylsalicylic acid. The maximum that can be done is to thoroughly wash the stain. clean water to remove as much of its coloring particles from the surface of the fabric.
How to use Aspirin to remove stains that soaking did not take? Grind 2-3 tablets into a fine powder and add some water to it. You should have a thick paste-like mixture. Apply it to the area of contamination in an even layer and leave the item for a while.
Important! Be sure to lightly dampen the stained cloth before applying.
Processing time will depend on the persistence and age of the stains. Sometimes 10 minutes is enough, for some particularly persistent pollution it takes about an hour. If you washed off the acetyl paste, and the stain remained on the fabric, repeat the treatment again, extending it for 10-15 minutes. When the stain is gone, rinse the garment thoroughly to remove any tablet residue.
Treatment of delicate fabrics with Aspirin
Acetylsalicylic acid is a rather mild stain remover, practically unable to harm the fibers of even the most capricious fabrics. But still, when processing such delicate materials as natural silk or thin woolen cloth, it is better to play it safe. Before using Aspirin to remove sweat stains, for example, from a silk blouse, prepare a soft brush. With it, apply an aqueous solution of Aspirin (2 tablets per glass of water) to the stain with soft, more brushing than rubbing movements. Continue treatment until the stain disappears completely.
Alternative use of Aspirin on the farm
For washing and processing fabrics, only standard acetylsalicylic acid in solid tablets is generally suitable. But effervescent Aspirin can be very useful on the farm. True, the area of \u200b\u200bits application will be the processing of kitchen utensils and plumbing.
So, to wash a vase, bottle or any similar tall vessel with a narrow neck from a dark watery coating that has accumulated on its walls, fill it with warm water and drop a tablet of effervescent Aspirin into it. The acids included in its composition will help dissolve salt deposits, and the air bubbles released during dissolution will work as a kind of brush. 10-15 minutes after the tablet has completely dissolved, rinse the container with cool running water.
Effervescent Aspirin is also used to care for plumbing. To help prevent build-up of plaque on the toilet, drop an Upsa tablet or another brand of instant acetyl into the toilet once a week. 10 minutes after immersing the tablet, completely flush the toilet cistern.
