Washing and Maintenance: There will be foreign dirt or secretions from human skin on the surface or gap of clothing. Foreign contaminants include wind, sand, dust, oil fume, fruit juice, vegetable farms, and other substances, mainly on outerwear; skin secretions include skin fat, sweat, and dander, mainly on underwear.
If the clothing is not washed for a long time, the dirt penetrates the gaps and fibers, which not only blocks the holes, hinders ventilation and normal perspiration, and causes discomfort to the human body, but also breeds mold, reduces the colorfastness, and even threatens human health. If it is not washed for a long time, it will also affect the degree of washing.
Therefore, the clothing must be washed and changed frequently.
Cotton Fabric
Cotton fabrics have strong alkali resistance, acid resistance, and high-temperature resistance, and can be washed with various soaps or detergents. Before washing, it can be soaked in water for a few minutes, but it should not be too long to avoid damage to the color. Underwear can not be soaked in hot water, to avoid the protein in the sweat stains coagulating and adhering to the clothing, and yellow sweat spots will appear. When washing with detergent, the best water temperature is 30-50 ℃.
When rinsing, you can master the method of “small amount and many times”, that is, you don’t necessarily need to use a lot of water each time you rinse with clean water, but you need to wash it several times. After each rinse, it should be wrung out, and then the second rinse should be carried out to improve the washing efficiency. Clothes should be dried in a ventilated and shaded place to avoid exposure to sunlight and fading of colored fabrics.
Wool Fabric
Wool is not resistant to alkali, so use neutral detergent or soap flakes for washing. Wool fabrics will shrink and deform in an aqueous solution above 30 °C, so the washing temperature should not exceed 35 °C. Aqueous detergent solutions are typically formulated with room temperature (25°C) water. Do not scrub with a washboard when washing. Even if you use a washing machine, you should wash it lightly, and the washing time should not be too long to prevent cash.
Do not twist the glue after washing, squeeze by hand to remove water, then drain. It is advisable to take half a minute when dehydrating with a washing machine. It should be dried in the shade and not exposed to strong sunlight to prevent the fabric from losing its luster and elasticity and causing a decrease in strength.
Viscose Fabric
Viscose fiber has a large shrinkage rate and low wet strength. When washing, it should be soaked with washing, not for a long time. Viscose fiber fabric will become hard when exposed to water, so it should be washed lightly to avoid fluff or cracks.
Use neutral detergent or low alkali detergent. The temperature of the washing liquid should not exceed 35°C. After washing, fold the clothes, squeeze out the water a lot, do not twist them, do not expose them to the sun after washing, and dry them in a cool or ventilated place.
Polyester Fabric
Soak in cold water for 15 minutes, then wash with a general synthetic detergent. The temperature of the washing liquid should not exceed 35 ℃. The dirty parts of the neckline and cuffs can be washed with a brush. After washing, rinse and wash, lightly twist, dry in a cool and ventilated place, do not expose to the sun, do not dry, to avoid wrinkles due to heat.
Generally, well-crafted high-grade woolen garments High-grade garments (such as suits, etc.) made of high-grade fabrics are not too dirty and do not need to be washed in water, or garments that cannot be washed in water need to be dry cleaned; precious fur garments should also be sent to dry cleaning Shop dry cleaning.
Cannot be Dry Cleaned
Vinyl and polypropylene clothing are less resistant to organic solvents and cannot be dry cleaned. PU coated fabrics and other resin-finished fabrics cannot be dry cleaned.
