Outerwear manufacturers often recommend dry cleaning only for coats. But in practice, for various reasons, this recommendation is often ignored and they clean their outerwear on their own. And here it is important to know the nuances of how to clean a woolen coat.

Check the composition of the fabric and follow the directions on the care label.

Caring for a woolen coat can be roughly divided into:

• dry cleaning;
• removing stains;
• washing.

We clean "dry"

Dry cleaning is done with a cloth brush. It is better to hang the coat on a hanger and walk over it with a coarse-naped tool. Alternatively, you can use a special brush with a sticky roller: it is very convenient for them to clean clothes from light dirt: hair, dust and animal hair.

Removing stains

Have you planted a spot? After removing it, all coats may need to be washed. How to remove stains depends on the “nature of their origin”.

To know for sure the reaction of the fabric to the solvent, it is imperative to conduct a test: apply the product to an inconspicuous place (on the inside of the coat, from the inside of the collar or sleeve, if the model allows) and wait a couple of minutes. This test should be carried out even with seemingly safe salt: such things, for the most part, are painted and it is not clear how the paint will behave.

Ways to remove greasy stains

• First, you can try to remove the stain with an iron and white paper towels: cover the stain with a napkin and iron. The fat has gone to paper? Then repeat the process a few more times, changing napkins.
• You can try to neutralize the talcum fat: fill it with pollution and leave it for a couple of hours. Then remove the talcum powder with a dry brush. Instead of talcum powder, potato starch is suitable. This procedure can be repeated if the entire stain could not be removed at one time.
• But most often, oily stains are removed with refined gasoline. The dirt is wiped off with a cotton swab soaked in gasoline. Moreover, this must be done from the seamy side of the fabric, after placing a cotton cloth under the stain, which will absorb moisture. If the coat is lined, it should be gently ripped off under the contamination. Brush the stains from the outer edges towards the center so that no halo remains.

Different spots, different ways

If there are stains from coffee and tea, then they can be removed with glycerin and ammonia: take in a ratio of 1: 2 (a spoonful of glycerin and half a spoonful of alcohol). Or a solution of vinegar and alcohol (1: 1). This mixture should also remove the beer stain. Hydrogen peroxide can also remove it. But the trace of the wine should be covered with table salt, then the salt should be removed and the place of pollution should be washed with cold water (wiped with a damp foam rubber sponge).

Greasy areas (collar, sleeves, pockets) can be cleaned with a mixture of salt and ammonia (4 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of ammonia).

The stains have been removed, now you can start washing.

Washing wool coats

The woolen coat can be washed in the washing machine - automatic, choosing the mode "delicate wash" or "wool".

It is necessary to wash at a temperature not higher than 30 degrees, otherwise the wool will "shrink" and the product will be damaged forever! Use the minimum spin!

A delicate wash with warm water will restore the cleanliness and freshness of outerwear. It is better to use gel for washing woolen products. Then rinse a couple of times to avoid streaks.

You need to dry it at room temperature in a flattened form, spreading it out, for example, on a folding clothes dryer. To protect your coat from snags or dirt from the dryer, you can first put a white sheet folded several times under it (this advice is especially important for light-colored clothes).

If you don't have a machine, wash your coat by hand. A bathroom or a large basin should be filled with warm water (30 degrees, no higher!), Diluted with washing gel (in extreme cases, ordinary shampoo will pass) and soak the product for half an hour. Then wipe it with your hands, not rubbing too much. You will have to rinse it several times. Squeeze out lightly.

What about white?

The question may arise as to how to clean a white wool coat at home. The cleaning methods are the same as for woolen garments of other colors. Only when washing a white product, it must be rinsed several times to avoid yellow streaks. Then wrap the coat in a white cotton sheet or towel and blot well, and then spread it out on a white cloth - dry in a horizontal position.

Adopt a “grandma's” way to give a wool coat a fresh look. Open hot water in the bathroom: make a steam room there (let the mirror fog up). Hang the coat on a hanger for 15 minutes (the water can already be turned off at this time). Then, gently laying out the fabric on your hand, wipe dirt or greasy areas with a soft cloth brush. Turn on cold water (or open the bathroom door) and let the coat hang there for a while - cool down. Then, already dry, you can steam it with an iron through cheesecloth (if you need to iron the product).

These simple tips will help you do without dry cleaning, and your coat will delight you for a long time!

Light color is a wonderful piece of women's wardrobe. However, as you know, it is the light color of outerwear that is considered the most impractical, since even with not long-term wear, various dirt and heels from cosmetics and dust appear on it, which make your favorite thing dirty gray. Coats are almost always made from materials that, in principle, cannot be washed in a washing machine. In addition, it should be remembered that each wash of the coat reduces its life by one year. What can I do? Of course, you can dry-clean your coat, but professional cleaning will also not always benefit your favorite thing. Therefore, it is much easier to clean a light coat at home without spending significant financial resources, but at the same time getting a high-quality result.

• Greasy stains can be removed well with talcum powder, which should be sprinkled on the dirty areas and left for 30 minutes, then shake off well. Talc absorbs all the fat. This procedure can be repeated several times until the spots disappear completely. If there is no talcum powder, you can use chalk, starch, baking soda or semolina together.
• Slight contamination can remove with soapy water. To do this, you need to prepare a weak soapy solution by diluting a tablespoon of soap shavings in a glass of warm water. Moisten a soft sponge in the resulting liquid and treat the contaminated areas with it. Then repeat the treatment, but use a damp sponge to remove any remaining foam. For a light coat, it is better to choose baby soap.

A coat is an irreplaceable wardrobe item that can not only warm you in cold weather, but also give a woman or a man an elegant, beautiful well-groomed look. In stores, you can buy a product of different colors, styles and quality of fabric.

The fabrics from which these outerwear are made are not so easy to maintain. Some of them cannot be washed like regular clothes and, moreover, can not be machine washed for cleaning. How can you clean such "capricious" clothes if you accidentally put a stain on them?

General cleaning rules

At the factory, tags are sewn to each product, indicating how to properly care for this or that type of fabric. There are some types of products that need to be cleaned only with chemical agents (for example, dry method). Others are easy to clean at home, using pharmaceutical and household products.

If you decide to start cleaning coat fabric at home, then such simple but very important tips will come in handy.

Before removing any kind of contamination (if you are going to use chemicals), first try on a piece of cloth how it will react to this substance. It is best to apply the product to the inside of the seam: if no distortions appear on the material, you can safely start cleaning the whole product.

Cleaning movements should be done from the edge of the stain to the center, so you will not stretch the dirt onto a clean cloth.

If the coat needs to be washed, be sure to rinse it thoroughly so that there are no streaks on the material. Then it is wrapped in a terry towel so that the maximum amount of moisture is absorbed into it. It is better to dry the product on a hanger in a horizontal position at room temperature.

Removing different stains

Considering beautiful models in the catalog, many limit themselves to buying an exclusive product only because they do not know how to properly care for some fabric. Of course, after all, no one wants to buy a beautiful expensive thing, and then throw it away because of a small speck in the most conspicuous place, which cannot be removed in any way.

Here are some tips on how to clean your stains at home:

Fat

Remove with a swab dipped in alcohol. Before cleaning, place a cotton cloth folded in a couple of layers under the spot with the stain. In this case, it is better to rip up the lining so that the fabric is in contact with the coat. We wet the trail well with alcohol and sprinkle with talcum powder. We leave it for a day, and then shake the product and clean it of talc and dirt with a stiff brush.

Wine

The still not dried wine is sprinkled with fine salt and then washed off with water. A brightly colored or woolen coat is best cleaned with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab without using salt.

Beer

Beer stains are removed with a swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide. To clean the woolen coat, use a solution of vinegar and alcohol (ratio - 1: 1).

Tea

Tea traces are very difficult to remove, so it is better to eliminate them immediately. This will require 2 parts alcohol and 1 part water. Old stains can be cleaned with 4 parts glycerin and 1 part 10% ammonia.

Fresh spots

Fresh stains can be removed very effectively with an iron and cotton towels placed in several layers on both sides of the coat. With a heated iron, you need to iron it over the napkins until the dirt disappears.

What to do with greasy areas?

Even if during wearing you manage to avoid any of the above marks, then over time, on the sleeves, collar and pockets, you will notice the appearance of ugly greasy stripes. And you can also get rid of them at home.

You will need 4 parts ammonia and 1 part salt. Use this mixture to wipe greasy areas.

Sometimes they also use pure gasoline, which is rubbed with dirt, and then covered with fine salt. Use a rubber sponge to gently wipe the greasy areas and clean the coat from salt residues with a stiff brush.

If after an unsuccessful ironing, there is a greasy mark on the product, it can be removed with a jet of steam.

With these simple yet powerful tips, you can get rid of most types of dirt. Now, if you see your "capricious" favorite model in a coat store, you can safely buy it and not be afraid of any stains.

Since ancient times, a classic coat has been a must-have item in a wardrobe. This item will perfectly complement any look. The variety of colors, materials and tailoring will allow you to choose a certain style in which both a woman and a man will look elegant. But in order for the coat to last as long as possible and have a neat look, the product needs cleaning and care. In order not to use dry cleaning services, you can independently clean your coat at home using different methods.

Different outerwear, with constant wear, has the properties of rubbing and getting dirty. Outerwear should be cleaned every day, both before dressing and when coming home. It is necessary to thoroughly clean the coat at the end of each season if the product has not been needed for several months or there are stains and a strange smell. In order not to spoil the item on the lining or if there is lace, beads, embroidery, especially difficult stains and dirt (for example, from machine oil), it is better to take things to dry cleaning.

In order not to harm the clothes when cleaning, it is imperative to know the material of the coat sewn. The most popular and well-known materials: wool, cashmere, drape, leather, suede. For example, tidying up a coat with a lot of synthetics is easier and easier. But a coat made from natural fabrics requires special care.

Before you start cleaning your coat, you should prepare it:

1. Check the pockets, remove all contents from them.
2. Shake the product well.
3. Hang the coat on a hanger, take it to a sufficiently lit room. Examine the item carefully for specks and dirt. Look especially closely at the pockets, collar and sleeves. Stains can be on the outer surface of the coat and on the wrong side.
4. Use a clothing brush to brush your coat to remove debris, dirt, dust, hair.

These places are most often polluted.

Read the label information carefully. From it we learn whether the coat can be washed, and what temperature is set at the same time, how to dry the product and where, whether it is allowed to iron the coat.

Woolen coat

Drap - natural woolen fabric with a two-layer weave, dense material that does not wrinkle. Thanks to this weave, the coat is cozy and warm. Drap is a finicky material that does not tolerate heat when washing. Therefore, it is better to use a dry cleaning method. Before you start cleaning the item, brush over the coat to get rid of debris and dust. Then clean the clothes in any of the following ways:

• the usual way to remove small stains from a coat is with a brush. First, with a dry brush, move in the direction of the nap of the fabric, then moisten the bristles of the brush and repeat the same movements over the dirt until the stain disappears. Or use dark bread. To do this, spread the coat on an oilcloth, and sprinkle the crumb of dark bread on top. Run your palms over the fabric and roll the bread crumbs into balls. Remove the remaining balls with a brush.
• for heavier soiling, use a carpet cleaner. Dilute a small amount with water. Stir until foamy. You should try to apply only foam to the dirty surface of the coat, without getting liquid. While the foam dries, gently brush the area with a brush.
• if the lather is unable to overcome the dirt, try removing the stains with soapy water. Stir a small amount of detergent or special wool detergent with a little water to create a soapy solution. In the resulting solution, moisten a cloth and wipe the dirty spots on the coat. In this case, the fabric should get wet, but do not rub too much. After twenty minutes, rinse the solution from the coat and blot with a dry cloth or sponge.

If, through imprudence, you put a stain on the coat, then you can not wash the whole thing, but only clean the dirty place. Clean greasy stains from the edge to the middle so as not to leave marks when cleaning, and from the back. Before using a particular product, it is necessary to test it on the inside of the garment.

Sprinkle a little baby powder over the greasy spot and leave for two hours. Remove the powder with a brush. Alternatively, ironing with a hot iron. You need to iron through a damp cloth. You should definitely look at the shortcut icons to see if the iron can be used.

Soak a cotton pad in gasoline and wipe the inside of the stain until it disappears. To get rid of the gasoline odor, place the coat outdoors. To clean a light coat, sprinkle some talcum powder on the stain. After a couple of hours, use a brush to remove any remaining baby powder.
• glycerin and ammonia will cope with unknown stains. Mix 1 part of glycerin and 1 part of ammonia in a container. Use a small piece of cotton wool or a swab to spread the mixture over the dirty area. After 10 minutes, reapply the mixture. Remove the remaining funds after 2 minutes with a damp cloth or sponge.

Handwash

Before washing the coat, brush off wool, hair, dust with a brush. Then turn it over to the wrong side. Place it in water that is about 36 degrees. In hot water, the coat may shrink. When washing a dark coat, use a liquid powder. In the case of a light-colored product, you can also take granular laundry detergent. If you are going to use bleach, choose a chlorine-free product. In case of heavy dirt, the coat can be soaked and left in water for 40 minutes. When washing the coat, you can use a clothes brush.

Squeeze the coat gently and gently so as not to deform the material. Place the coat on a hanger so that water can escape. Then transfer the product to a warm room and lay it out on a large towel to dry it.

Machine wash

Before washing your coat, you need to find out if it is machine washable. Look at the badges on the label. If the machine or basin icon is not crossed out, you can wash it. To begin with, the thing must be fastened, turned inside out and placed in a bag intended for washing. Wash your polyester coat on the delicate setting, or add softener to the synthetics setting to soften the coat. Add detergent to the powder compartment only, not to the drum. Set the temperature regime to no more than 30 degrees. It is advisable to use a function such as an additional rinse. Disable the spin mode, as the fabric deforms when twisting.

If you adhere to the rules and follow the recommendations for the care of the coat, your product will remain in its original form for a long time. When purchasing a coat, do not forget to buy a cleaning brush, a roller with adhesive tape. If stains appear, take action immediately. Avoid heavy contamination, because then it is harder to get rid of them. Thanks to your efforts and care, your favorite coat will delight you for a long time!
