Dry cleaning is the best choice for sweaters. If there is a hand washing sign, it means that warm water below 40℃ and special detergent can be used. Turn out the inner layer of the clothes, immerse it in the completely dissolved detergent for five minutes, and slowly squeeze the clothes until they are soaked. Don't rub them. Wash it with warm water first, then with cold water until it is clean.
Before washing the sweater, the cuffs and loose clothes should be folded inward, the top button should be buttoned, and then the sweater should be turned over for cleaning. When washing by machine, put the sweater into the laundry bag first, and then put it into the washing machine.
When washing clothes, vinegar can be added to warm water to prevent clothes from being worn.
Sweaters should try to avoid dehydration with a dehydrator, and take 30 seconds to one minute if necessary.
The washed clothes can be covered with a dry towel and then rolled together, and the towel absorbs excess water from the sweater.
When drying clothes, lay them flat until they are 80% dry, then wrap your sleeves in a net bag and hang them on a bamboo pole to dry.
Avoid exposure to strong sunlight, otherwise it will destroy the molecular structure of wool.
Sweaters stretch and deform after washing, and can be restored to their original state by spraying them with an iron.

Clever cleaning of sweaters
Everyone likes sweaters, but it's really a headache to get some dirty things accidentally! Now I'd like to introduce you to the method to ensure that "dirt goes away without a trace and sweaters are cleaner".
Method 1: as soon as the stain falls on the sweater, it should be cleaned immediately.
If the sweater accidentally rubs dirty things, it must be cleaned immediately to avoid leaving traces. The longer the same stain stays on the sweater, the less likely it is to be washed off; And after a long time, stains will penetrate into wool fibers, and it is inevitable to rub hard when cleaning, which is more likely to cause damage to clothes. Here we divide the cleaning methods into two types: after the clothes are dirty and after a few hours, and introduce them respectively.
(Stains of juice) Soak a dry towel in hot water, wring it out and cover it on the sweater to absorb the stains left by juice.
(Coffee, tea stains) Cover the sweater with a dry towel to absorb the stains.
Oil pollution
After leaving a stain
It should be noted that when wiping, the other hand should hold a dry towel under the sweater. If you use detergent, be sure to clean it with a wet towel and then dry it with a dry towel.
(Juice) If it is stained with juice, wipe it with a towel soaked in hot water. Compared with other stains, this stain is easier to clean.
(Coffee, tea) The stains on coffee and tea are all water-based. First, suck them with a dry towel. Towels have strong water absorption and stains are not easy to spread.
(Oil stain) Put a dry towel under the dirty sweater and wipe the stain repeatedly with another towel. Please note that only by constantly wiping can the stain area in the sweater be gradually reduced.
A few hours later.
When you get home, wash the traces left on your clothes immediately.
Choice of detergent-most people don't know the difference between the detergent we usually use and the neutral detergent. From now on, it is recommended that you use neutral detergent to clean pure wool fabrics. On the clothes marked with pure wool, the metropolis says please clean them with neutral detergent.
(juice) Wipe with a cloth dipped in a small amount of neutral detergent.
Pat the clothes gently with a wet cloth soaked in hot water, and 80% of the stains can be cleaned up. Then, wipe it with a cloth dipped in a small amount of neutral detergent. Be careful not to use too much detergent.
(coffee) wipe with a cloth dipped in lemon juice or vinegar.
For stubborn stains that are not easy to clean, you can clean them with a cloth dipped in lemon juice or vinegar. Only acid can wash away the pigment that has been precipitated for a long time.
(Oily) If there are some stubborn stains that are not easy to clean, wipe them repeatedly with a cloth stained with neutral detergent. Don't forget, finally clean the detergent with water.
Method 2: Start with the characteristics of pure wool fabric and thoroughly clean it.
Pure wool fabric is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is comfortable to wear and popular with consumers. This kind of clothes has all the advantages and disadvantages of wool. If the clothes are dirty, it is necessary to avoid damaging the material as much as possible in order to maintain a long service life.
How to smooth wrinkles on sweaters?
One of the characteristics of wool is its excellent elasticity. As long as it is given enough humidity, it can be restored to its original appearance.
If there are annoying wrinkles on the sweater, you can adjust the steam electric iron to low temperature and iron it at a distance of 1~2cm from the sweater. You can also put a towel on the sweater and iron it, so it won't hurt the wool fibers and leave no hot marks.
If the collar and cuffs are open
Sweaters are woven by connecting threads one by one. If one thread is interrupted, other parts may go offline.
The most easily split parts of a sweater are the neckline, cuffs and shoulder joints. Before going out, it is best to check whether these parts are open and disconnect them in time. With a small needle, choose the wool of the same color and connect the removed pinholes one by one.
How to deal with hairballs on clothes
Hairballs are formed by long-term friction of short hairs on sweaters. Under normal circumstances, when you see wool balls, you will feel that the quality of sweaters is not good. In fact, it is a sign of the quality of sweaters. Soft and good quality clothes are easy to pilling, which means good quality sweaters are easy to pilling.
Hairballs visible to the naked eye can be cut off with scissors. Never tear off the wool ball on the sweater by force, which will easily damage the wool.
If it gets dirty,
Sweaters are made of thread, which is different from suits made of cloth. Therefore, once there is dust that is difficult to remove, it can't be brushed with a brush.
Pure wool fabric is different from chemical fiber fabric, and it is not easy to generate static electricity. But as long as you wear it, it is easy to get dust, and it is best to remove it as soon as possible. There is a special roller for sweaters on the market, which has an excellent effect of removing this dust.
Method 3: once worn, completely dry before putting it away.
The sweater that I wore only once last season has a hole. There are many reasons for this, for example, sweaters are put away before they are packed. Wool, like us, is made of protein. If it is not well managed, it will be easily eroded by moths. From now on, I hope everyone will take good care of sweaters and learn the correct storage method.
There are stains on it.
Even if you only wear your sweater once, it is an ironclad principle to clean it in time and not leave stains on your clothes. As for the specific cleaning method, please refer to the first method introduced above.
Hang clothes in a well-ventilated place to dry in the shade.
Worn sweaters will absorb sweat from the body and should be dried in the shade in a well-ventilated place before being put away. If it is in the cupboard, I suggest you put some desiccant in it.
Stuffed tightly, it may lose its elasticity!
For sweaters, elasticity is their life. Don't push the sweater into the corner because there is no place! That will leave ugly creases. It's best to fold them up and put them in a box or cupboard of moderate size.
Common sense supplement: wool is a natural fiber, which has life and needs breathing. It goes without saying that it is natural and warm to wear in winter, and it can absorb sweat in summer without feeling hot, so it is very comfortable to wear. But wool has the disadvantage of pilling and being easily eaten by insects. So we must fully understand the texture and characteristics of sweaters, and then we can use them correctly on this basis.
Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? White sweaters will be cleaner if washed at home!
More and more people think that sweaters should be sent to dry cleaners for cleaning. Recently, more and more sweaters are suitable for cleaning at home. The sweater you bought naturally needs cleaning. We can confirm that white sweaters or light-colored fabrics can also be washed in the washing machine at home, and the more you wash, the cleaner you will be.
1 Pay attention to the laundry sign
First look at the sign on the sweater about cleaning. Pay attention to whether it can be washed in the washing machine (some imported clothes have different signs, please pay attention).
Turn the inside out and wash it with weak water. Washing 5~6 clothes at a time is not easy to shrink.
Pour warm water below 30℃ into the washing machine or washbasin, add the marked amount of neutral detergent and dissolve it into washing liquid.
Turn the sweater over and turn it over with weak water for 2~3 minutes. Add the fabric softener and soak for a while.
Dehydrate for about 30 seconds.
Set the sweater after washing. If it is wet, it will be easily deformed.
Put it on two bamboo poles to prevent deformation.
Don't let the cuffs droop when drying the sweater. The ideal thing is to dry with two bamboo poles. If there is really no room, you can hang it on a hanger and put your sleeves on your shoulders.
4 Use a steam iron
After drying, finish the modeling with a steam iron.
