Home Family and Home Science – Auxiliaries, Stain Removal & Storage of Textiles

  • What do you after cleaning the fabric with soap or a syndet? What do you do with your white cottons to ‘retain their whiteness’ ? What do you to make the cottons crisper or why do you give your silks for ‘Charakh’ ? So, this makes it very clear that besides cleaners there are other things required while laundering which will give new life to your fabrics. Such substance is called auxiliaries.
  • Products other than the cleansers, required to give good finish to the fabrics during the process of laundering are known as Auxiliaries. These are
    • Blues
    • Optical brightening agents
    • Chemical bleaches
    • Stain removing agents
    • Stiffening agents

Stain Removal

  • Stains are marks other than dirt on clothes. For example, you may get a curry or pickle mark on your shirt while eating or an ink stain writing or a pain stain if you accidently come in contact with a newly painted door.
  • Such marks are called stains and if allowed to stay for long they make the clothes look ugly.

Storage of Textiles

  • Till now we have taken proper care in keeping our clothes clean, but it is not sufficient.
  • If we don՚t store these clothes properly, they can get damaged by insects or cloth moths.
  • Let us list a few precautions in order to save our expensive clothes:
    • Empty out pockets and brush the garments thoroughly in order to free them from dust.
    • Always sun and air the garments which have been worn before storing.
    • Do not let garments become too dirty before laundering or dry cleaning.
    • Do not store any damp clothes as moisture causes mildew. You must have seen that clothes have changed colour when taken out from closets and this is the reason for it.
    • All textiles should be protected from insets. This can be done by using repellents like tobacco, dried neem, camphor, moth balls etc. , as you all do at home. Woollens can be packed in newspapers as the moth dislikes printer՚s link.
