How to use Elizar in the washing machine

Modern automatic washing machines do their job perfectly, helping housewives forget about hand washing. However, sometimes there are situations when the “home assistant” cannot clean the laundry due to severe dirt or stubborn stains. In this case, you need to use Elizar in the washing machine instead of regular laundry detergent or gel (or together with it). We'll tell you how to properly work with this powerful household chemical.

We use the product together with an automatic machine

Elizar is a strong oxygen stain remover that should be used as a detergent replacement during the pre-wash phase. To use Elizar correctly, it must be added to the powder receptacle section, which shows a Roman numeral I. As an alternative method, you can choose to simply soak the laundry in a basin. In this case, you just need to leave things in hot water with Elizar for about half an hour, and then load them into household appliances and run the standard operating cycle with regular laundry detergent. Most often, housewives choose the second method, simply adding 1 scoop of product per 1 liter of water to the container.

Since Elizar is designed for use in hot water, it is best chosen for washing programs with water temperatures of 60 degrees Celsius and above.

A problem may arise in a situation where dirty items cannot be washed in hot water whose temperature exceeds 40 degrees. In this case, for Elizar to work well, it must first be dissolved in boiling water, and then cold water must be added to the container to cool it to the required level.

It is worth remembering that if the granules were first activated in boiling water, which was then diluted, then the effectiveness of household chemicals will be lower, so dirty things will have to be soaked longer. It is also permissible to add citric acid so that the granules of the product dissolve better and release active oxygen, however, the best effect will still be only when things are soaked in boiling water.

Often, users cannot find the measuring spoon that should be included with household chemicals. In this case, the manufacturer recommends simply pouring the powder into another container, since very often the spoon is at the bottom of the jar, completely hidden by the product.

Is the product safe for dyed items?

One of the main fears of housewives lies in the fact that Elizar will ruin expensive clothes, change their color, or completely wash away all the bright paint. However, these fears are completely unfounded, since Elizar is not dangerous for painted products.

The most important thing is to follow the rules for using household chemicals. So, chemical granules should enter into a chemical reaction at the bottom of the basin or bucket, but not on the laundry itself. In addition, you cannot use Elizar if you want to clean silk, wool or membrane fabrics. A complete list of materials that should not be treated with this product can be found on the packaging.

Does the stain remover remove organic stains?

Finally, it is worth noting the effectiveness of Elizar in removing stains of organic origin. Household chemicals cope well not only with stains from food, wine, sweat and blood, but even with stains of iodine, brilliant green, potassium permanganate, oil and much more. The best results from using the product can be obtained if you follow a number of rules.

• If you have hard water in your area, it will prevent the granules from dissolving, so the reaction will be slow. To speed up, add ordinary citric acid to a container of water, which will improve the reaction and soften the liquid.
• Try to use household chemicals in hot water, because the higher the temperature, the more effective Elizar is. The ideal temperature for treating dirty clothes is 90 degrees Celsius.
• Do not skimp on the product if the stain is very complex - it is better to soak the item twice than to be content with half measures.
• After pre-soaking, be sure to wash the laundry in an automatic washing machine using regular powder or gel - this will remove any remaining dirt and household chemicals from the surface of the products.

Thus, Elizar is an indispensable tool in the arsenal of any housewife. It is inexpensive, does not spoil things, and allows you to remove even the most stubborn stains of organic origin that ordinary detergent cannot handle.
