Bleaching: How and why make it

Bleaching is an important phase that follows washing the laundry and aims to oxidize the last traces of dirt that the surfactants cannot eliminate, such as stains from wine, coffee, sauces, fruit, etc.

Chlorine bleaching is performed with purified water at a low level (1: 5) at a temperature up to or below 50 ° with a whitening product such as sodium hypochlorite or a specific product such as BLANTEX (powder) or OX ACTIV (liquid) . The latter, unlike chlorine, do not damage the textile fibers even after repeated washing and offer a complete range of action for both white and colored linen, as well as having a high detergent and stain remover power.

If you have a poor removal of dirt and stains you must first check the washing formula and the four factors that determine a good wash: time, temperature, chemical action, mechanical action.

The bleaching phase is extremely important: the PH must be around 10.5, the temperature which should be between 50 ° and 60 °, can be raised to 70 ° only in the case of particular problems, to consider however that bleaching at high temperatures affect and degrade the textile fibers. In this case it will also be advisable to increase the concentration of the bleaching product. It is also advisable to check the washing symbol of a garment to check if the fabric is suitable for bleaching.
