Back to School: How to tackle stains and odors on school uniforms

• With the return to school in March, washing school clothes becomes a key task within the family routine, marked by the stains and odors of daily use.
• Opal supports this school season with a proposal focused on laundry performance, oriented toward removing tough stains and neutralizing odors typical of daily school wear.

According to the Ministry of Education (Minedu), more than 6.2 million students in preschool, primary, and secondary school will return to classes this Monday, March 16, nationwide. With this return, laundering school clothes becomes a recurring task within the family routine. Knowing how to tackle the most common stains and odors of the season allows parents to make informed decisions tailored to the demands of everyday school life.

From food spills to stains caused by play and exploration, Opal knows that getting dirty is part of learning and that the back-to-school season brings daily laundry challenges. Having clear information on how to handle these situations helps extend the lifespan of school clothes and keeps them in good condition throughout the year.

In the face of daily school-year challenges, applying good laundry practices keeps clothes in better condition for longer. Some key recommendations for effectively tackling stains and odors are:

• Treat stains as soon as possible to prevent them from setting into the fabric.
• Read the washing instructions on each garment's label.
• If using a washing machine, do not overload it, so the detergent can work more effectively.
• Check that the stain has completely disappeared before drying the garment.
• Dry clothes thoroughly to avoid musty odors caused by dampness.

These practices not only contribute to more efficient cleaning but also help extend the life of school wear, keeping up with the active pace of students' daily lives. In this context, Opal centers its proposal on functional benefits associated with laundry performance:

• Tough stain removal
• Odor neutralization

Keeping school clothes clean and odor-free requires consistency and a well-applied laundry routine. To meet these everyday needs, Opal Ultra presents itself as a practical alternative for regular household laundry, including school garments. Its performance is powered by smart molecules designed to act on stubborn dirt, facilitating stain removal and contributing to the neutralization of odors during the wash.
