Know some washing techniques to delay the fading of clothes

How to wash clothes to delay fading and extend the life of clothes? Xu Chunyuan, vice president of the city’s washing and dyeing industry association, suggested that more attention should be paid to the selection of washing solvents and the use of washing machines. Improper
use of detergent solvents is the main cause of clothing fading. Fabric fibers are divided into several categories: cotton, linen and other plant fibers, silk, wool and other animal fibers, polyester, acrylic, nylon and other chemical fibers. Cotton and linen can choose detergents with a slightly higher PH value, silk wool can choose some detergents with a slightly lower PH value, and chemical fibers do not have too high requirements for detergents. Citizens should choose detergents selectively, so as to avoid fading clothes due to improper use of solvents. If you don’t know much about fibers or can’t tell them apart, choose neutral detergents.
Mechanical wear and tear is also one of the causes of fading of clothes. There are two types of washing machines used at home, one is turbine, and the other is drum type, the former is more abrasive to clothes. The way to avoid wear and fade is to shorten the mechanical washing time, such as planning to wash clothes for 30 minutes, you can pre-wash for 1 minute, then soak for 15 minutes, and then wash for 14 minutes after the solvent fully penetrates and dissolves the stain. This not only ensures cleanliness, but also reduces wear.
In addition, silk products, woolen clothes, and clothing with fur accessories are not suitable for home washing machine washing, so it is recommended to go to a professional dry cleaner for washing.
