Pure cotton and stretch cloth are common fabric materials, widely used in clothing, bedding and other fields. They have their own characteristics, pure cotton is characterized by soft, good air permeability, sweat absorption, not easy to produce static electricity; Elastic cloth handle processing is characterized by good elasticity, strong adhesion, soft and comfortable. However, the two kinds of fabrics will have different deformation conditions after washing, which one is easier to deform? The following will discuss this issue from the following aspects.
1. Causes of deformation
During the washing process, the deformation causes of pure cotton and elastic cloth are different. Pure cotton fabric is easy to absorb moisture in water and expand; Pilling and deformation of hair are easy to occur during the scrubbing process, and when chemicals and high temperatures are added, the fibers and pigments will be destroyed. The deformation of elastic cloth handle processing is mainly due to the addition of artificial fibers such as spandex or Lycra to the material, which have strong elasticity and resilience, but are therefore more susceptible to stretching and grinding deformation.
Second, washing method
In the way of washing, the treatment of the two fabrics is also different. When washing pure cotton clothes, use cold water and neutral detergent, avoid high temperature or long time soaking; After washing, it is not appropriate to muddy, rub, wring out or expose to the sun, so as not to cause pilling or shrinkage of hair. Washing elastic fabrics should be careful to avoid using too much agitation in the machine wash, and it is not recommended to use too stimulating chemicals such as laundry detergent or bleach, and use moderate temperature washing.
Three, maintenance methods
In addition to choosing the proper washing method, it is equally important to maintain the clothing. In the maintenance of pure cotton fabrics should be careful to avoid long-term exposure to the sun; After washing, it should be properly sorted out to avoid baking the thread on the rotating shaft; Cotton texture is poor, in the washing and wearing period, should pay attention to avoid matching with hard items; At the same time, care should also be taken not to iron at too high a temperature, so as not to destroy the composition of cotton fabric. The elastic fabric in the maintenance need to pay attention to prevent long-term load hanging or scratching, to hang stored in a cool and ventilated place, and to avoid on the balcony, kitchen and other damp and there is a collision position.
In general, pure cotton and elastic fabrics have their own advantages and disadvantages, and their deformation conditions are also different. Therefore, in the daily use and cleaning should be combined with its characteristics to take appropriate measures to avoid deformation damage caused by improper cleaning or maintenance.
