Solution For Shrinkage Of Sweater

    

Sweater is one of our essential garments. However, we often encounter such a problem: the sweater shrinks. What should we do when the sweater shrinks? Can it still be restored? Don't worry. Let's teach you how to deal with the shrinkage of sweaters.

The first is:

For a serious sweater, you can steamed it in a steamer and take advantage of the hot stretch to restore it to its original size. This is because wool fibers are characterized by thermal plasticity, that is to say, wool is easy to change in certain humidity and temperature, and it can remain unchanged after cooling. Therefore, we can make use of the role of hot steam to make the scale of wool fibers open, restore the original elasticity and fluffy, and then properly pull it to make the sweater back to its original state.

The specific methods are as follows: first, add shampoo in warm water with a basin of about 30 degrees Celsius, wash the sweater, dehydrate it with cloth bag, take a household steamer, scrub the steaming tray and lid with detergent, remove oil stains. Add the right amount of water in the steamer and boil it. Fold the washed sweater and put it into the steaming tray. Steam it for about 10 minutes, then stop the fire, wear a thick glove to take out the sweater, cut a thick cardboard (including two sleeves) of the same size as the sweater, and put the adhesive tape on the cut, so as not to scrape the clothes, then put the sweater on the thick cardboard, pull the corners, necklines and cuffs into the size of the cardboard, and fix them with pins or clamps, and some parts can be stretched by hand. After complete cooling, remove the cardboard and spread the sweater flat and dry. It should be noted that before drawing, the proportion of the length of the sweater and the length of each part should be known. After you have finished, measure the total length with a ruler, such as the length is not enough to repeat.

 

Second species:

Warm water is poured into the basin, dripping into a small amount of household water, and soaping the sweater. The soap composition on the wool will melt. Use both hands to gently lengthen the reduced part and flush it to dry. When you are half dry, first use your hands to pull out the whole shape, and then press it with an iron to restore the original size.

Third species:

Cut into the size and shape of the original sweater with the cardboard (the cardboard of the home appliance packing box). The shear mouth should be polished with sand paper so as not to break the sweater. Put the sweater on the cardboard, and use several clothes clothes clips at the bottom, then use the electric iron to steam the parts of the sweater repeatedly. Place the washed sweater in the steamer for about 15 minutes, then put it out and pull it to the original size, and put it on the table to dry naturally. Saving money will not hurt sweaters.
     

 

　　

How to prevent sweaters shrink: the water temperature must be around 35 degrees, wash with high grade neutral detergent, do not put too much detergent, otherwise it is not clean and easy to shrink. The ratio of water to detergent is 3:1. You can't wash it with a washer. After washing, press with dry cloth.

How to finish the sweater: the sweater is shortened and hardened. It can be wrapped in clean white cloth and steamed for ten minutes in the steamer. After it is removed, it will shake slightly, shake the fiber loose, and then carefully pull it into the original shape and size, put it on the thin plate or sieve back, and dry it in the ventilated place, then it will be restored to its original state after drying.

Wool or wool fabrics are washed more frequently and will gradually lose their original luster. If rinse with water for several times, then add a few drops of vinegar in the water to float and bleach, so that the wool and wool fabrics will restore their original luster.
