Options for saving tissue and hair from adhering lizun

Kids love to play with a viscous mass of bright color, which takes any form and does not stick to the palms. And poor parents then puzzle for a long time over how to remove the slime from clothes, upholstered furniture or carpet. Left unattended for several hours, the toy spreads into a sticky stain and tightly eats into the fibers of the fabric.

How to save clothes?

It is easier to wash a lizun from clothes than from a carpet, furniture upholstery or plaid. The sooner you spot, the better the chances of success.

  • Step 1. Try to remove the maximum viscous slurry mechanically

If the fabric is durable (linen, cotton), use a teaspoon, nail file or knife. Move from the edges of the spot to the center so as not to smear the lizun. Slime stuck to delicate clothes? Then chewing gum or a piece of plasticine will help gently remove the toy.

  • Step 2 Solvent residues

Now you need to choose a substance that will dissolve the dry or viscous remains of the lizun, which means that clothes will subsequently be easier to wash off. Both chemical stain removers and home remedies are suitable. The table below shows the best options.

How much to apply on a lizun stain? Depends on the area of ​​contamination. It is necessary that the slime is completely wet.

  • Step 3 Wipe the surface with a dry cloth (sponge)

When the lizun softens, remove its remains manually. You have to spend 5-10 minutes on it.

But there is one more problem. The composition of the toy includes chemical dyes, because of which color stains remain on the clothes. The next step will help get rid of them.

  • Step 4 Wash a thing in the usual way.

This can be done both manually and in the washing machine. It is recommended to add a couple of drops of ammonia to the water (except for washing delicate fabrics).

Boiling water

Get rid of lizun with the help of temperature

It is possible to remove a stain of slime at home without resorting to the use of chemical and folk remedies. There are two opposing techniques.

  • Boiling water

The option is only suitable for clothes made of cotton or linen. Try to wipe the pieces of the toy by hand, then soak the thing in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. When the water becomes warm, wash the stain on the clothes with laundry soap or send the product to the washing machine.

  • Frost

Load the shirt or blouse in the freezer for an hour. Then the dirty mark will be easily scraped off with a sharp object.

Carpet cleaning

How to clean a carpet, upholstered furniture, plaid?

Are you trying to unstick a bright toy from a fleecy surface, and it rips off only with the material? You cannot immerse a floor covering, a sofa or a wool blanket in a basin with boiling water or send it to a washing machine. And ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, kerosene and especially acetone can ruin the material. What to do?

We recommend that you purchase special cleaning products for carpets and textiles from a household chemical store.

Positive feedback has the following products:

  • Nordland active foam;
  • Help spray;
  • Udalix Ultra Powder;
  • Soap-stain remover “Antipyatin”;
  • Shampoo Vanish Oxi Action.

First peel off the pieces of lizun from the surface of the carpet, plaid or furniture as much as you can. Then apply the chemical and leave until the stain dissolves (usually 30 minutes). Wipe the area with a damp cloth and then with a dry cloth.

There is another option for saving the carpet: attach a durable plastic bag with ice cubes to the lick. The toy will freeze in 5-10 minutes. Then try to gently scrape it off with a knife or nail file.

A piece of slime in the hair

How to keep a hairstyle?

Young owners of a long and thick head of hair often encounter a situation where the lizun sticks to the hair. Moms offer to go to the hairdresser, make a haircut, but the little princesses resist (and, it turns out, not in vain, because the toy can be quickly and simply unfastened).

It is enough to take any vegetable oil (preferably olive, as it softens the hair). Also suitable are baby cream, petroleum jelly, styling mousse. Apply the product on curls and leave for 20-30 minutes. The slime will dissolve. Remove residual mucus with a dry sponge. In the end, it is recommended to wash the baby's head.

More often on the Internet there is often advice on removing stains of lizun from hair using freezing. We do not recommend you to do this. A negative temperature will make the curls brittle. And when you wipe the dry remains of lizun with a knife, finally destroy the hair structure.

Slime stuck to the carpet

When is dry cleaning required?

Unfortunately, old stains from slime (which are more than a week old) cannot be completely removed at home. Adhesive particles have already penetrated deep into the fabric. Have to give the product dry cleaning, especially if it comes to carpet or plaid.

Also, do not take risks when trying to wipe off a lizun from expensive wardrobe items or especially delicate fabrics (silk, chiffon, viscose). The salvation of such things is best entrusted to professionals.

conclusions

Thus, a fresh stain from lizun is easily removed using chemical and folk remedies. This will take no more than 2 hours, taking into account the final wash. Choose a method depending on the type of fabric. Please note that although household chemicals are more expensive, they do better with pollution and are suitable for many materials.
