Clothing Washing And Maintenance Instructions Of Different Materials

(I) cotton [COTTON]

characteristic:

1. Good moisture absorption and permeability, soft hand feel, comfortable to wear;

2. The appearance is simple and natural, with soft luster and good dyeing performance;

2. Poor color fastness, easy to fade;

Maintenance requirements:

1. A variety of natural detergents can be used, which can be washed by hand or machine (it is better to use a laundry bag and fasten the bag body when washing by machine). However, due to the poor elasticity of cotton fiber, it is not necessary to use a large setback when washing, so as to avoid clothing deformation and size impact;

2. White clothes can be washed at high temperature with strong alkaline detergent to bleach. The underwear can't be soaked in hot water to avoid yellow sweat spots. It is better to wash clothes of other colors in cold water. Do not use detergent or washing powder containing bleaching ingredients to avoid discoloration. Do not pour the washing powder directly on cotton fabrics to avoid partial discoloration;

3. The soaking time should not exceed 15 minutes to avoid fading. When washing, add a spoonful of salt in the water to reduce the fading of clothes;

4. Dark clothes should be washed separately from other clothes to avoid dyeing;

5. When the clothes are washed and drained, they should be folded up, and the water should be gently squeezed out by hand or rolled up with a towel. Do not twist the clothes forcibly to avoid deformation. Do not drip dry the clothes to avoid deformation after drying;

6. After washing and dehydration, it should be quickly leveled and dried to reduce wrinkles. It should not be exposed to the sun. Avoid accelerating the oxidation of the fabric due to the sun exposure, and try to extend the service life. (If it is dried in the sun, please dry it with the reverse side facing outward);

7. Please avoid rubbing with hard objects during washing and wearing.

（2） WOOL

characteristic:

1. Wool is a very good hydrophilic fiber, with very good moisture absorption and air permeability, and its texture is light, thin and smooth;

2. Wool has natural curl, which can form many non flowing air zones as barriers, with good warmth retention;

3. Wool has a lustrous texture and a natural and soft feel. Compared with other natural fibers such as cotton, linen and silk, it has a very good tensile property and elasticity.

Maintenance needs

1. When the wool is rubbed and rubbed, the wool fibers will stick together and shrink (commonly known as shrinkage, 20% shrinkage is normal);

2. Wool will not pilling under normal wearing conditions, and cashmere friction will cause pilling;

3. Wool and cashmere should not be washed with alkaline detergent, and neutral detergent should be selected during washing (such as special detergent for wool, detergent powder is not allowed), otherwise, wool will shrink;

4. If water washing is required, manual drainage is required. Fold the washed clothes and gently squeeze out the water with your hands or roll them up with a towel to squeeze water. At this time, the force should be moderate, and twisting is absolutely not allowed to prevent clothes from shrinking.
