After using the duvet cover for a long time, it absorbs a lot of sweat stains. When I was about to wash it, I discovered a problem: there were yellow marks on the duvet cover, which couldn’t be cleaned with conventional methods. So how to clean it?
How to Clean duvet cover
The reason for the yellow marks on duvet cover and pillows is the chemical reaction between water, lactic acid, fatty acids, proteins, salivary amylase and white fabrics that are metabolized every night when we sleep. In human terms: sweat, saliva and fabrics are mixed together.
You can’t just replace a duvet cover that’s been used for half a year, right? If you are a casual person, you don’t have to worry about it, but if you are a perfectionist, you have to clean it.
Cleaning method 1: Rice water + orange peel
Keep the rice water or put the orange peels into a pot and add water to boil, then soak the yellowed duvet cover cover and pillowcases in it and rub it to make it white easily.
Cleaning method 2: Soap exposure method
First wash the duvet cover, then soap it again, put it in a clean transparent plastic bag and seal it, dry it in the sun for 2 hours, then wash it and rinse it.
Cleaning method 3: Beer + Blue Ink
Use half a basin of water; pour water and beer at a ratio of 2:1; drop in 1/3 of the blue ink until it turns slightly blue; put the washed yellowed bedding into the basin and soak it for half an hour; rinse with water Just clean it.
Cleaning method 4: Lemon juice or white vinegar
Citric acid and alkaline properties mean that it can remove yellowing and neutralize acid and alkali; it can remove some residues and yellow marks left on quilts and pillows.
Cleaning method 5: Use spinach water to wash clothes
Put the spinach into boiling hot water, take out the spinach, rub the clothes with the spinach water, then soak for 10 minutes, and then wash the clothes with clean water.
Cleaning method 6 :Bleach with 84 disinfectant
The simple method is to soak it with 84 disinfectant, but this method will cause some damage to the fabric. It is not recommended to use this method. If you don’t believe it, you can try it; the important thing is to pay attention to daily maintenance.
