How to wash linen clothes without shrinking them How to wash linen clothes

When we wash clothes, we should wash them according to the characteristics of the fabrics of the clothes. The washing methods of clothes made of different fabrics are different. Linen clothes have always been very popular and loved by everyone. Linen clothes can easily shrink if they are not washed properly.

When washing linen clothes, try to wash them by hand and use cold water. Washing them in hot water will cause them to shrink. The detergent used must be neutral. Do not dehydrate them after washing. Do not rub them hard when washing. Soak them first and then rub them gently. The above mentioned reasons are the reasons that cause clothes to shrink. Please pay attention to them when washing.

1. Linen clothes must be washed in cold water instead of warm water. Because the color fastness of linen clothes is too low, if the water temperature is too high, improper washing will easily cause stains or fading.

2. When washing cotton and linen clothes, first scrub gently to remove serious stains on the clothes, and then scrub gently as a whole. Do not rub hard when washing, soak it in advance, and then wipe it gently. Excessive friction not only easily causes clothes to shrink, but also easily causes fluffing, affecting its service life.

3. When washing linen clothes, it is best to use neutral detergent or liquid detergent, and washing powder is not recommended. Since the alkali content in washing powder is high, if you wash linen clothes, it may fade.

4. After washing the linen, you can peracidify it, that is, add 5% white vinegar to the water, put the linen in the water, and soak it for about 2 minutes. Peracidification will make the color of the linen clothes stronger.

5. After washing, flatten the linens before drying, lay them on a clean and flat surface and dry them in a cool and ventilated place, otherwise they will wrinkle easily.

6. If you want to dry the clothes quickly, in order to avoid the clothes from stretching and deforming due to overall hanging, you can use multiple hangers to dry the clothes, or you can use a fan to blow dry.

The shrinkage rate of cotton and linen is usually about 5%. Remember not to spin it when washing, which will not be a big problem, just wring it out and straighten it to dry. It is best not to use a washing machine to wash cotton and linen clothes, as cotton and linen are soft. If you use a washing machine to shake it violently, it is easy to deform and wrinkle. In severe cases, the washing machine will be damaged. You can put it in a laundry bag and wash it with a gentle washing machine gear. For general cotton and linen clothes, ordinary hanging drying is fine. It is best to dry hand-painted clothes and tie-dyed clothes in the shade; when drying clothes made of wrinkled satin fabrics, never hang them to dry, lay them flat, or find a net bag and put them in the net bag to dry them.

Cotton and linen fabrics can be hand washed or machine washed. If you wash by hand, first prepare half a basin of warm water, add a spoonful of detergent and stir thoroughly, soak the clothes for 15 minutes, and rub them gently with your hands. Then rinse with water twice, wet with water, and iron the clothes when they are half dry.
