Clothing Care FAQ: Answers to Your Wardrobe Woes
Common Questions About Clothing Care
Understanding the science behind clothing care can help preserve your wardrobe and ensure it always looks its best. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:
Why Do Some Clothes Wrinkle After Washing?Clothing is made of fibers, which are long, thread-like structures (imagine silk threads). During washing, friction, agitation, moisture, and spinning stretch, compress, and twist these fibers. This can rearrange the fibers and alter the garment’s shape, leading to wrinkles. To prevent this, use a washing bag for delicate clothes, and lay them flat to dry, which helps restore their shape and reduce creases.
Can I Wear New Clothes Without Washing Them
New clothes may contain dust, chemical dyes, or residues from the manufacturing process. For hygiene and comfort, it’s best to wash them before wearing. If you have sensitive skin, this is particularly important, as unwashed fabric or detergents may cause irritation. When washing dark-colored garments, separate them from lighter items to avoid staining.
Why Do Clothes Turn Yellow Over Time
Fibers and dyes in clothing can oxidize when exposed to air, especially in natural materials like cotton and linen. This results in yellowing over time. Prolonged storage in high temperatures, humidity, or poorly ventilated spaces can also promote mold and bacteria growth, further discoloring the fabric.
What Is Dry Cleaning ？
Dry cleaning is a professional cleaning process that uses special organic solvents (like perchloroethylene) instead of water to remove stains. These solvents can clean garments without damaging the fibers. During the process, clothes are rotated in a machine, ensuring the solvent thoroughly cleans the fabric.
Proper care not only extends the life of your garments but also keeps them looking fresh and clean for longer!
