If the stains are not too serious, then a regular machine wash will do the job. But for this, a chlorine-free bleach will come in handy.

It is advisable to give preference to oxygen products that are well suited for different fabrics.

White and light textiles made from natural fabrics can be washed at a temperature of 90 degrees, and for colored items the temperature should be lower - 60 degrees.

If the fabric is black, then 40 degrees is enough.

If we are talking about serious and old stains, then you should pay attention to other washing methods.

You can't do without pre-soaking here.

For example, a solution with ammonia is effective. In 5 liters of hot water, you need to dilute 3 spoons of ammonia and vegetable oil, 5 spoons of baking soda. In such a solution, towels should be left for 2-4 hours.

After this, the textiles should be washed in the usual way.

Another option involves a 12-hour pre-soak.

To do this, dilute 5 tablespoons of salt and 3 tablespoons of refined sunflower oil in 5 liters of hot water. After this procedure, the towels should be washed in the usual way and dried in the open air.
