Silk sari is one of the favorite clothes of Bengali women. Many times it has various designs including handwork, block, skin print, lace, sequins, embroidery, lace, stone. That is why silk sarees are one of the most acceptable occasions for weddings and other occasions.
This expensive sari is very much loved so I want special care for it. As a precaution, we usually send silk or similar saris to the laundry for the dry wash. Let’s see how you can clean the silk saree yourself if you get any kind of stains or dirt.
Method:
In a bucket, take a small amount of alkaline detergent with normal temperature or mild lukewarm water. If it is a liquid detergent, take only a few drops. You can also use mild baby shampoo. Silk is a highly sensitive fabric and should not be treated with alkaline detergents.
Soak the silk sari in detergent water and wait for three minutes. Move the sari up and down so that all the dirt from the sari is washed away. Do not rub hard, it will ruin the clothes. Now remove the sari from the detergent water and wash it with cold or normal temperature water. Be careful not to leave a little soapy foam.
Now spread a clean towel on a table to dry the sari. Spread the saree on the towel and keep rolling from one side to the other. In this way, the towel will absorb water from the sari. Roll lightly, do not try to twist and dry. This will leave permanent wrinkles. Now match the saree in a dry place where the sun does not shine. Direct sun damages silk fabrics.
In the case of washing machines
All types of silk sari but not machine washable. In this case, first of all, see if there is an option of machine wash in the tag of the sari.
Method:
Do not put any other cloth with the silk sari washing time in the washing machine. Not jeans, colored or buttoned clothes at all. This can ruin your hobby saree. Be sure to turn on the delicate cycle mode after adding water and detergent to the washing machine. Keep the time interval short each time you smoke. Even after washing in the washing machine, dry it with a towel and match it in a sun-free place.
Tea / Coffee Stains:
If your hobby silk sari has tea or coffee stains, you need to clean this sari with special care. Spread the saree on the side of the sink and soak only the spotted area in water. Now lightly rub the stained area with a little petrol. Do not rub too hard with the brush, it may tear the sari. Now wash the petrol with mild detergent.
Sweat stains:
Sweating on hot days can cause sweat stains on the sari. First, soak a paper towel or cotton cloth and press it on the sweat stains of the sari. Carefully wash the stained area with a mild stain remover or alkali detergent. And if the stain is very hard, then you have to dry clean.
Remember that silk fabric is as valuable as it is soft. So silk sari should be washed lightly with extreme caution while cleaning. Wash, dry with a dry towel, and then dry completely by matching in a sunless place. Store this sari in a cool and dark place. Hang it on a hanger to protect it from folds and creases.
Now let’s find out the easy way to get rid of house insects:
Insect infestation occurs in many homes. Even medicines bought in the market often do not work. So many jokingly said, ‘Insect medicine is now adulterated too!
If the house is infested with insects, the house becomes unclean. Moreover, they waste food. It is possible to get rid of insects by using some domestic methods. Let’s talk about the ways we don’t know-
How to chase rats:
To repel rats, the first thing to do is to identify the road for rats. Because rats usually move in the same direction. Mix zinc phosphide with the bread and leave it in the rat’s mouth overnight. Rats will die after eating the bread.
However, if you have a small child at home, you should be careful in using rat repellent. The first thing to do is to wake up in the morning and throw away the bread that has been given medicine. Under no circumstances should the bread be left for the next day.
Ants:
The infestation of ants seems very unbearable. Especially if you catch ants all the time in sweet food, you should be annoyed. Baby powder is effective in removing ants. Sprinkle baby powder on the ant’s row. Besides, giving kerosene will work well. The smell of kerosene ants can not tolerate.
You can sprinkle kerosene or baby powder on the ants at night. If the food on the table is placed on the water bowl, the ants cannot attack.
Flies:
It’s getting hot. Fly infestation is more in summer. There is no substitute for staying clean to repel flies. You can also use an electric bat. The house should be cleaned regularly by mixing phenyl with water. The dining table should be kept clean after every meal.
Flies can cause various stomach ailments. So food should always be covered.
Cockroaches:
If the kitchen is dirty if dirty containers or baskets are left in the room if the floor is dirty, the infestation of cockroaches increases. Lemon juice should be sprinkled where cockroaches grow more. Lemon juice is very effective in destroying cockroaches.
Mosquitoes:
If water accumulates in the flower tub or anywhere else in the house, the incidence of mosquitoes increases. The doors and windows of the house should be closed shortly before evening. You have to wake up in the morning and open the window. Mosquitoes are more common if the house is damp.
The nose should be called while using mosquito spray. It is better not to enter the house for at least 20 minutes.
It is important to keep the house and surroundings clean to eliminate insects. Insects will never go away if the house is unclean.
