How to clean cotton knitted T-shirts
Method 1: it’s better to wash the newly bought pure cotton clothes by hand and add some salt in the water, because the salt can solidify the dye, which can keep the color for a longer time.
Method 2: for the pure cotton clothes in summer, the clothes in summer are relatively thin, and the wrinkle resistance of pure cotton is not very good. The best water temperature is 30-35 degrees when washing at ordinary times. Soak for several minutes, but it should not be too long. After washing, it should not be wrung dry. Dry them in a ventilated and cool place, and do not expose them to the sun to avoid fading Therefore, it is recommended to use acidic washing products (such as soap) to neutralize them It would be better to use pure cotton detergent In addition, summer clothes must be washed and changed frequently (usually once a day) so that sweat will not remain on clothes for too long Most of the cotton T-shirts have a single collar, which is relatively thin. You should avoid using a brush when washing, and do not rub hard. When drying, tidy up the body and collar Avoid warping The neckline of clothes cannot be scrubbed horizontally. After washing, do not wring it dry, but directly dry it Don’t expose yourself to the sun or heat
Method 3: all pure cotton clothes should be able to be backwashed and sunned, which is quite effective for keeping the color of pure cotton. You should have the experience that the color of colored pure cotton clothes is generally brighter on the back than on the front.
Cleaning method of knitted T-shirt
1. A good knitted T-shirt must be soft and elastic, breathable and cool. Therefore, when cleaning, turn the whole knitted T-shirt inside out and avoid rubbing the patterned side. Try to wash it by hand instead of washing machine. When drying clothes, do not pull the collar to prevent deformation.
2. Washing method: if you buy a very expensive personalized knitted T-shirt, it is recommended to send it to dry cleaning, which is the best. If you don’t do dry cleaning, I’d suggest you wash it by hand. Machine cleaning is also OK, but please choose the softest way.
3. Before washing: remember to separate the dark and light colors, and separate them from the clothes with harder fabrics, such as jeans, canvas bags, etc. in addition, don’t go into the water with towels, bathrobes and other items, otherwise you will be covered with white cotton wadding.
4. Water temperature: ordinary tap water is enough. Do not wash with hot water to avoid excessive shrinkage. Under normal water temperature, the shrinkage rate of new clothes that have not been washed before leaving the factory for the first time is usually between 1-3%. This shrinkage rate will not affect the wearing. This is also the reason why many friends ask the shopkeeper if the clothes will shrink when they buy clothes, and the shopkeeper says No. In fact, it’s not that you don’t shrink, it’s that you can’t feel the completion of shrinking, which means breaking up the whole into parts.
5. Washing products: try to avoid using chemical detergents, such as bleach, and white clothes are not allowed!
How to clean the black knitted T-shirt
Washing Tips 1. Wash with warm water
Wash at 25 ~ 35 ℃ and wash it separately from other clothes. Also, most importantly, when drying the black knitted T-shirt, turn it around and put the outside inside instead of exposing it to the sun, because after exposure to high temperature, it is easy to cause discoloration and uneven dyeing of the black knitted T-shirt. Therefore, dark clothes such as black knitted T-shirts need to be dried in a ventilated place.
Washing tips 2. Salt water washing
For the striped cloth or standard cloth dyed with direct dyes, the adhesion of the general color is relatively poor. When washing, you can add a little salt to the water. Soak the clothes in the solution for 10-15 minutes before washing, which can prevent or reduce the fading.
Washing tips 3. Softener washing
The cloth dyed with vulcanized fuel has strong adhesion in general color, but poor wear resistance. Therefore, it is best to soak in the softener for 15 minutes, rub it gently with your hands, and then rinse it with clean water. Don’t rub it with a washboard to prevent the cloth from turning white.
Washing tips IV. washing with soapy water
Because the dye can be melted in alkaline solution, it can be washed with soapy water and alkaline water, but it should be noted that after washing, rinse it with clean water immediately, and do not immerse the soap or alkali for a long time or remain in the clothes.
