How to wash, maintain and stack silk clothing?

These three materials can be separated by just pumping a wire and burning it:

Rayon, which is what we call viscose: when burned, it is like cotton burning, it is easy to burn, there is no smell, the ashes are gray-white, and they become powder when they are pinched;

Silk: When burning, it burns like hair, with a strong protein burnt taste, the ashes turn black, and a pinch also becomes a small black powder;

Polyester: When burning, it burns quickly, and there is a very thick black smoke, and the yarn will become molten and drip when it is serious. The ashes are lumps that cannot be crushed;

The maintenance of silk clothing is very troublesome: when washing, you must use a detergent with very little alkaline, such as shower gel or shampoo, and never use laundry detergent or laundry detergent, it is easy to wash the fabric to white and fluffy. When washing, be sure to wait for the detergent to melt in the water before soaking the clothes, try not to soak the clothes, if you want to soak for only ten minutes.

It is best to wash by hand, gently scrub and rinse off the lotion will do. It is best to take off the water when drying the clothes to avoid water stains. Then shake the clothes straight and dry.

Silk is a protein fiber and is easily eaten by insects, so it is best to put some natural camphor and other insect repellent when storing, but try not to contact the fabric directly, and need to be wrapped in paper and placed in the cabinet to avoid local discoloration.

Silk shirts refer to shirts made of silk-based fabrics, which are soft and smooth, light and comfortable, and are the best in shirts. But due to the basic properties of silk, shirts made of silk are very susceptible to damage when washed, why is that?

First of all, let's understand the properties of silk: silk is a protein fiber and is very sensitive to alkalinity. At the same time, most silk textiles made of silk will use untwisted yarn that has not been spinned, so the wear resistance is poor.

In addition, the dye fastness of silk textiles is generally low, so that silk shirts are easily damaged during washing.

When washing silk shirts, you should pay attention to the following points:

Neutral detergents must be used, alkaline laundry detergents cannot be used blindly, and strong alkaline, chlorine-containing and enzyme-added laundry detergents must not be used to protect the texture of silk.

Silk shirts should be washed with water at a lower temperature, generally not more than 40, although cold water can also be used.

It can be washed in a washing machine, but with the gentle program of the washing machine. Silk textiles cannot be washed using the normal program.

In case of color fading, do not stop the operation, continue washing as soon as possible, and rinse as soon as possible. Add an appropriate amount of glacial acetic acid when rinsing to prevent color loss.

If it is a satin fabric, it can not be machine washed, only hand washed. You can use a soft-bristled brush to brush along the texture, and it is forbidden to cross the texture of the fabric when brushing.

It can be dehydrated, and the more delicate fabrics should be wrapped in a large towel or cotton cloth before spinning dry.

Wash silk clothing with cold water, put a small amount of laundry detergent, soak for 5 10 minutes, and then rinse gently. It can also be washed with neutral soap flakes or high-grade soap flakes. Don't twist it after washing, let alone expose it to the sun, it's best to bring water to hang it in a cool place, and take it off when it's dry, and it is better to iron it flat.

1 Silk is composed of protein fibers, very delicate, not paying attention to will cause fluffing, flowers, should not be rubbed vigorously when washing, nor can it be machine washed. When washing, silk products should be soaked in clean water for 5 10 minutes, gently rubbed with special silk detergent, synthetic low-foaming laundry detergent or neutral soap, and then rinsed in clean water. In order to protect the color of the clothes, you can put a basin of water after cleaning, drop two or three drops of vinegar into the water, soak it for 5 minutes and take it out, and dry it in a cool place on the opposite side.

High-grade silk fabrics are best dry cleaned.

2 When drying, it should be turned outward, preferably in a cool place, not in direct sunlight. When it is dry, take it off, and the clothes are not easy to discolor.

3 Silk is a natural fiber fabric, light texture, soft and smooth, breathable, comfortable to wear, elegant and chic, is an ideal summer dress fabric. The fibers of silk cannot withstand friction, so be careful not to let furniture and items with rough surfaces rub against their surfaces. Do not sleep on mats, rattan chairs, and planks.

Because the fiber of silk is relatively fine, can not withstand excessive friction, it is best not to scratch the itch of clothing, because the long fiber holding force of silk fabrics is not as good as other blended fiber fabrics, it is easy to cause silk and silk under the influence of external forces, also called silk row, silk drape.

4. Do not spray deodorant, perfume, etc. on the surface of silk products; Do not store with mothballs to avoid discoloration.

5 Silk summer clothes should be hung on hangers when storing, but do not use metal hooks to prevent rust contamination. Attention should also be paid to hanging clothes in a dark place, so as not to make the fabric yellowed by direct light, such as georgette, double wrinkle fabric made of clothing, should not be hung for a long time, because the weight will be longer and longer, so that the clothing is deformed, storage should be placed on the upper layer of the cabinet, so as not to wrinkle.
