Hand washing in 6 steps
Washing clothes by hand is not complicated, it's very simple. To make sure nothing goes wrong, we've put together an easy-to-follow guide for you.
Step 1: Find the right container
Pick out two suitable containers for your laundry. Depending on the amount of clothing you have, a bowl or bucket will suffice. If you need to wash several or larger items, the bathtub is a great option.
You need the second container for use after washing, to rinse out your clothes.
Step 2: Choose the right laundry detergent
The bluu Laundry Detergent Sheets work perfectly for hand washing. They are also extremely space-saving and easy to pack in your luggage. Depending on the load size and level of soiling, only a small corner of the Laundry Detergent Sheet is enough. The larger your laundry load, or the dirtier your clothes are, the more you tear off from the Laundry Detergent Sheet.
You are traveling and only have cold water available? No problem! Our bluu Laundry Detergent Sheets are not only gentle on textiles, they are also especially well suited for lower temperatures.
Step 3: Let the water in
Pour warm water into your clean first container. A temperature of around 30 degrees is optimal. You will need enough water so that the clothing can be fully submerged, but not slosh over the edge.
You can now the bluu Laundry Detergent Sheets Add them and stir to dissolve.
Fill the second container with clear water for later.
Step 4: Wash the laundry
Now place the garment you need to wash into the water and move it back and forth in circular motions — either until the dirt has lifted or maximum five minutes lang. You can also gently knead or rub soiled areas against each other. Please take extra special care with delicate fabrics!
Step 5: Rinse the laundry
Now take the clothing out of the first container and place it into the second one with clean water. Here too, gently moving the items back and forth is all you need. Repeat this process as many times as needed until the water remains clear.
Step 6: Dry the clothing
You can gently squeeze the clothing to remove excess water. Never wring it out (this damages the fibers and will cause the garment to lose its shape). Afterwards, hang it up or lay it on a drying rack to dry.
