Different Fabrics

If you did your laundry this way, guess what would happen? What? Big mistake! You can actually extend the life of your clothes with just a little extra time and effort. You may have your dream and you may have the perfect closet for your dreams, stuffed with beautiful dresses, but if you don't know how to take care of them, all is lost. So, let's go through the most common types of fabric—and talk about the right way to care for each of them.

2. Wool: Hand Wash — Air Dry

Wool is not alkali resistant, so it should be washed with gentle detergent or soap tablets.

After washing, do not wring, squeeze by hand to remove water, and then drain.

First of all, linen clothes must be washed with cold water. Even warm water is not suitable, because the color fastness of clothes like this is very poor. If the water temperature with the water is too high, it is easy to cause fading. Secondly, pay attention to the use of neutral detergent or laundry detergent when cleaning linen clothes, and finally turn the garment inside out, and use a hot iron with a steam setting to restore its good look.

5. Silk

Lustrous silk is one of the most luxurious fabrics, and for a good reason. Few materials—natural or synthetic—can match the fiber that comes from silkworm cocoons. If the label tells you to dry clean only, you should probably do so. But once mastering a good method at home you can also clean it yourself.

Silk fibers are protein fibers composed of many amino acids, which are easily hydrolyzed in alkaline solutions and thus lose their sturdiness. Therefore, it should be paid attention that the water temperature should not be too high. The second cleaning, you should adopt an alkalescence advanced detergent or silk special detergent, and then gently rub it. To wash it clean, you can add a little vinegar to the water for over acid, you can keep the luster of the silk fabric. Do not use the dryer drying as well as put it in the hot sun to dry, but should be in a cool and ventilated place to dry. Before the clothes are completely dry, you should take them back and then iron dry.
