How to Wash a Mosquito Net

Mosquito net can be extremely handy when dealing with the little outdoor pests. Keeping the net clean is essential to its proper function. Here’s what you need to know.

Begin by filling the sink or tub with water and mixing in a small amount of laundry detergent.

Agitate the water slightly until suds begin to form.

Gently place the net into the water.

Allow it to soak for a few minutes to loosen any dirt or dust build-up.

Next, gently agitate the net in the water. Do not use too much force as that may cause the netting to tear.

Remove the net and drain the soapy water. The water can be gently squeezed out, but avoid wringing it as that will stretch it and can change the shape

Fill the sink or tub again with clean water.

Place the net in the clean water to rinse it.

After the soap has been rinsed, remove the netting. Again, squeeze it gently, but do not wring it out.

Place the wet net between two soft towels.

Carefully press on the net to remove the excess water. Mosquito net is so thin that most of the water will be absorbed by towels.

To allow it to dry completely, it can be spread out over clean, dry towels or even draped across a large piece of furniture such as the couch or bed.

When it is completely dry, it is ready to be reinstalled.

Things you Should Know About Washing Your Jean

Okay, i love Jeans alot and won't like mine to get spoilt quick...

So i learnt these tips and wants to share with you.

• If you want your favourite jeans to last a long time, don’t just treat them like any other article of clothing. A little extra care when washing your jeans can go a long way in extending their life and good looks.

• First, read the care label inside your jeans. If any of the directions for washing contradict what is contained in this article, opt for the manufacturer’s directions as listed on the tag.
• Empty the pockets of your jeans
• Turn your jeans inside out.
• Hot water and jeans don’t mix. If you wash your jeans in hot water, they may shrink and fade!
• NEVER use bleach when washing your jeans as this will cause fading, discolouration and uneven blotches.
• Wash light blue jeans and dark blue jeans separately to avoid dye transfer and colour blotching.
• Black jeans tend to shrink and fade faster than blue jeans. Try adding some regular table salt to the wash water (about ¼ cup), especially the first few times you wash, to lessen fading and shrinkage.
• Hang them on a clothes line or clothes rack to air dry (if indoors, make sure you place a towel underneath to catch the drips). Drying time will vary, but may take as long as two days, so plan ahead if you intend on wearing your jeans soon after washing.

Yea! Happy New Month too.
