Machine for cleaning products from spools
Online stores offer a wide selection of machines to eliminate lumps that have appeared. The cost of appliances is available, it is no more expensive than a regular clothes brush. Pros: battery powered; enough charge to clean several things; compact cars. There are a number of large machines powered by mains or battery.
- Bomann MC 701 CB (3240)
- Polaris PLR 2022
- Smile MC 3102
- Clatronic MC 3240
Standard equipment: grille with protective cover; instrument body equipped with a blade; container for collecting cut pile.
A typewriter (depending on the model and manufacturer) most often has one or more operating modes (for example, a separate nozzle adjustment for delicate materials).
Important! clippers are not suitable for fabrics with fluff and high pile. Pile is wound on the screw of the device, making it difficult to work. And material with large loops clings to the blades, especially if a person inaccurately works with the device or presses the machine too much.
Pluses: efficiency, fast and high-quality cutting of spools and the subsequent assembly in a special compartment.
Disadvantages : the procedure for removing pellets with dead batteries (battery) becomes slower; not recommended for high pile materials.
The razor easily copes with “coughing up” areas, but with a sharp blade you can damage the fabric (especially delicate) by cutting or hooking delicate material. And when using a blunt blade, the spools are almost impossible to cut, but it is easy to leave traces and abrasions from the touch of the machine on the material. Recommended for removing spools from bedding from a mixture of synthetics and chintz.
Pros: high efficiency, quick results.
Cons: it’s easy to spoil the thing, you have to collect the pile after cutting.
Important! Keep in mind that the finer and more tender the material, the finer the abrasive. For dense hard products, sandpaper is recommended, and pumice is recommended for knitwear.
Pros: quick result
Cons: not recommended for delicate delicate materials.
Scotch tape
Pros: does not spoil the fabric.
Cons: the method does not always cope with lumps, the effectiveness depends on the stickiness of the tape.
Pros: copes well with “rolled up” areas.
Cons: not recommended for the processing of thin and delicate materials, high pile.
The reasons for the formation of spools on bedding
Important! The consumer is advised to choose natural fabrics, follow the recommendations for the care of products, buy linen from trusted manufacturers.
But not everything depends on the company manufacturing the material. Errors in the care of things made by the owner also lead to their rolling up. This is washing satin, cotton in too hot water; refusal of the conditioner, helping to maintain the elasticity of the product; ironing over-dried bedding. In addition, too frequent washing and mechanical friction against a person during a restless sleep also leads to rolling up the material.
What bedding materials do spools appear on?
Lumps appear on tissues in which synthetics are present. The winding of the main material occurs on such a thread, and in the process of operation, the fabric simply fluffs, and spools appear. More susceptible to rolling: woolen products, acrylic, knitwear, polyamide, fleece, polyester.
Attention! How to recognize the fabric on which the spools are likely to appear? The marking indicates a high content of synthetic fibers, the material is loose, the threads are long, high pile. Natural materials (cotton, silk, linen) are less likely to cough.
Compliance with the rules of delicate washing of linen as a way to prevent lumps
In some models there is no name for “delicate wash”, it is replaced by the synonym “hand wash” .
What materials are erased like this? Washing in “delicate conditions” is ideal for artificial fabrics (polyester, elastane, viscose) and natural (silk, wool).
Important! Before washing, you should carefully study the label of bed linen, on which the composition, washing and ironing regimen are registered.
For this mode, liquid detergents are selected that are more easily washed out of the fabric.
A pair of dense balls of foil placed in the drum during washing will help remove static electricity during the washing process. This reduces the attraction of dust and microparticles to the material.
In addition, mechanical knocking out dirt balls from the foil will reduce the amount of detergent needed, improve the cleaning of dirt and stains. Bed linen can be washed less often, in more gentle modes without losing quality of washing, and the spools will become smaller.
Based on this, it can be concluded that getting rid of the pellets at home is not difficult, but you need to choose the right method of exposure so as not to spoil the thing and get the result.
For example, a razor is not suitable for silk and other delicate fabrics, it is likely to spoil the thing. And from exposure to tape, the treated area will stretch and lose shape.
Tip: a universal way to eliminate pili will be - a high-quality machine for cleaning from spools.
Remember that it is much easier to prevent the appearance of lumps by carefully caring for the thing, washing them in a gentle manner or buying bedding from natural fabrics from trusted manufacturers.
