Probably, all of us have been in a situation when clothes need dry cleaning, but there is no time or opportunity to contact specialists.

Or perhaps it happened that the item you just washed still looks stale.

In such cases, there is a simple and effective solution - restore your clothes to their original appearance using a regular wet wipe.

Why put a napkin in the washing machine

It turns out that wet wipes can be invaluable help when doing laundry.

If you want your clothes to look like they just came from the dry cleaners after you wash them, try putting a damp cloth in the drum in addition to the dirty clothes.

How to wash clothes with napkins

The first step is to choose the right "product". Try to find wet wipes that do not contain aggressive chemicals or fragrances. This is especially important for people who suffer from allergies or have hypersensitive skin.

The ideal “raw material” is hypoallergenic baby wipes with a neutral composition.

One or two of these napkins should be placed in the drum of the washing machine along with the clothes. This should be done at the spin stage.

It is important not to overdo it: if you throw in too many napkins, the result, on the contrary, will be negative and you risk encountering increased humidity and an overly strong aroma.

Of course, a napkin cannot replace dry cleaning when it comes to heavily soiled clothes.

But you will be able to refresh T-shirts, shirts or sweaters, as well as other clothes that are not too dirty – at least, that’s what those who have already tried this life hack in practice say.
