but avoid putting it in the bleach dispenser.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat to use for cleaning, brightening and removing stains from clothes instead?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sanitizers are not necessarily good cleaners; they may be able to kill bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, but they suck at getting rid of dirt and soiling that may have accumulated on the surface of your fabric. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For products that you should use to clean, to brighten, and to remove stains from your clothes, you can choose from the list below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hydrogen peroxide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For sparkling white whites, odor removal and brighter colored clothes, add hydrogen peroxide to the bleach dispenser of your washing machine. The hydrogen peroxide will be released during the wash cycle and it will help brighten your colored clothes or whiten your white clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baking soda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Baking soda increases the efficiency of all the cleaning products like detergent and sanitizers. So adding \u00bd cup of baking soda during your wash cycle will benefit your laundry by a great deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oxygen bleach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Oxygen bleach does a great job at cleaning fabric. They brighten dark spots, they\u2019re safe to use on colored clothes, they remove odor and help tackle soiling and stains pretty decently. It should be noted however, that they aren’t great sanitizers in the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opt for them when you have whites or colored clothes that are stained, emit odor or need brightening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chlorine bleach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Use chlorine bleach to remove soiling on white clothes and also to brighten them. Chlorine bleach cannot be used on colored clothes because it will bleach their colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stain removers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Another addition you can make when cleaning fabrics are stain removers. These are designed specifically to tackle a specific type of stain on your clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How often should you disinfect your clothes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There typically isn’t a definite time or period to disinfect your clothes. You would normally want to disinfect your clothes when you have stains on them, for example blood stains, vomit stains from a sick person and even poop stains from your newborn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These types of stains can harbor bacteria which if not killed can make their way into the body and cause illness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So whenever you have these categories of stains on your sheets, towels or clothes, endeavor to sanitize them properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Putting domestos in the washing machine to disinfect it is a big no. The reason is because it is a cleaner meant for heavy duty applications like the toilet, bathroom or kitchen, and as such, it may contain chemicals that are very tough and harsh and can cause a breakdown in the components of your washer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally domestos is not safe to use in the laundry because of this very same reason. If you ever feel the need to disinfect your clothes or your washing machine at any point, make sure to use products that are specifically meant for such purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
