Can sweaters be washed with laundry detergent?
Sweaters can be washed with laundry detergent. When the sweater is wet, pour some washing liquid and rub it gently with your hands. It's easy to clean, and washing with laundry detergent won't hurt your hands or clothes.
Because sweater fibers are most afraid of strong alkali, neutral laundry detergent has become a must for cleaning sweaters. Before cleaning, turn out the inner layer of the sweater, soak it in warm water where the laundry detergent is fully dissolved for about 5 minutes, and slowly squeeze the clothes until they are soaked. Don't rub them, it will make the sweater pilling. It should be noted that the longer the sweater is soaked or cleaned, the easier it will fade. Gently rub for 2-5 minutes. Don't rub it hard, or it will deform the sweater.
What should I do if I wash too many sweaters?
To solve the problem of how to wash sweaters too much, we must first start with the correct washing method. Know the correct washing method before washing. For sweaters that can be washed by machine, you should know whether dehydration is allowed before washing. Sweaters that can't be dehydrated must be dried in the right way. They can be dried in drying pockets or laid flat. Don't hang it directly on the hanger to dry, which will directly lead to the consequences of getting longer and bigger.
If you really have no choice, you can take the sweater to a professional dry cleaner for sweater shaping. Generally, professional dry cleaners have the skills of zooming in and out. In addition to dry cleaning, there is another way to soak the sweater in warm water for half an hour to shrink it, and then dry it in the right way.
Of course, there is another way, that is, wash the sweater again, spread the semi-dry sweater on the table, spread a hot towel and iron it with a hot iron to shrink it. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the drying method when drying, preferably flat drying.
Matters needing attention in sweater washing
1. If the sweater is washed by the washing machine, the washing time should be controlled. Soak it in warm water with detergent for a period of time, knead it properly, then take it out in the washing machine for 4 minutes, and rinse it with clean water.
2. If it is hand-washed, warm water is injected into the washbasin, a small amount of household ammonia water is dripped, and then the sweater is soaked, and the soap components left on the wool will melt. Gently stretch the narrowed part with both hands at the same time, and then rinse it to dryness. When it is half dry, first open it by hand and make it into its original shape; Press it with an iron again, and it will be back to its original size.
In order to prevent the sweater from shrinking, the principle of washing the sweater is that the sooner the better. Generally speaking, the less laundry detergent is used, the easier it is for sweaters to shrink, so it's best to add more laundry detergent to prevent sweaters from getting smaller. After washing and dehydration, clothes can be placed on a dry net or curtain to be flattened and shaped. When it is slightly dry, hang it on a hanger and find a ventilated and cool place to dry. In addition, before the fine wool is aired, a layer of towel or bath towel can be rolled on the hanger to prevent deformation.
Sweaters usually shrink and become smaller after washing, but they will become longer and bigger after drying with water. The way not to shrink after washing is to put the dried sweater on the towel quilt, flatten it, let it stand, and hang it up for a day or two to dry, so that the sweater will not shrink. The method of not stretching after washing is to put the dried sweater in the net bag, and it is best to set it first before putting it.
Material comparison of common sweaters
1. cashmere
When it comes to cashmere, many people will give him an "old-fashioned" hat. Everyone's misunderstanding of cashmere probably comes from the infinite obsession of middle-aged and elderly uncles with her. However, some ugly cashmere products of some big brands in China cost thousands of dollars, which always makes people puzzled. But cashmere, a precious and charming material, may only be felt by people who really understand it!
2. Merino wool
Merino wool comes from Merino sheep, which is the finest wool variety except cashmere. Merino sheep is the best fine wool sheep in the world, belonging to a noble breed with strong gas field. Their hair is the thinnest and softest. Although compared with cashmere, merino wool feels a little worse, its warmth retention is also poor, and its price is relatively low. But it is also much more expensive than ordinary sweaters!
3. mohair
Mohair refers to the hair of Angora goats, which is a kind of long-mountain hair with strong luster. Mohair is really not cheap, because Angora goats can't be completely kept in captivity, they can only grow in the hills and bushes, and the wool produced before the age of 8 can meet the textile standards, so the annual output is limited. It makes sense to be expensive!
4. wool
Pure wool is the first choice for most high-end suits and coats. Wool is produced by sheep. There are many kinds of ordinary wool. Pure wool has a soft color and good warmth retention effect. However, compared with merino wool, the fiber is thicker, the feel is worse, and it will prick people. Of course, the price will be cheaper.
