How often should I wash my sweaters?

Sweaters are a must-have item in many people's wardrobes nowadays. They are very good-looking and easy to match. Now, the editor of No. 5.com will tell you how often you should wash your sweaters.

How often should you wash a sweater?

If you wear a sweater next to your body, it is best to wash it after each wear. If you wear it outside your clothes, you can wash it every three days to a week, because it will lose its shape if washed too often.

1. Before washing knitted clothes, dust off the clothes and soak them in cold water for 10 to 20 minutes. Take them out and squeeze out the water. Put them in a detergent solution or soap solution and gently rub them. Rinse them with clean water. In order to ensure the color of the wool, you can drop 2% acetic acid (or vinegar) into the water to neutralize the residual soap.

2. Use a basin of boiling water, add an appropriate amount of tea leaves, wait for the tea leaves to soak thoroughly, and after the water cools down, filter out the tea leaves. Soak the sweater (thread) in the tea water for 15 minutes, then rub it gently several times, and then rinse it with clean water.

How to wash a sweater

1. Before washing the sweater, soak the dust on the sweater in cold water for about 15 minutes;

2. Take out the soaked sweater, squeeze out the water, and then put it into a solution mixed with neutral detergent and water (the pH value is between 6 and 8, mainly laundry detergent), and gently rub it clean.

3. Take out the cleaned sweater and rinse it with clean water. When rinsing for the last time, drop 2% edible vinegar into the water. (It can maintain the color and flexibility of the wool and is very good for preventing deformation).

4. Then lay the washed sweater flat to dry, this can prevent it from deforming due to water gravity after washing.

How to choose a sweater

Choose a sweater based on your body shape. Since the V-neck can modify the face shape and body shape, the V-neck that just exposes the collarbone is sexy but not too much. The wrinkles under the collar can visually plump the chest, so it is more suitable for plump women.

Tops that are too thin and too tight are not suitable for those with a thin upper body. Choose loose-fitting or slightly coarse knitted sweaters or horizontal stripes to give your upper body a little weight and make you look more impressive.

Wearing a light-colored or bright-colored knitted top, or a two-piece style (dark inside and light outside) will also prevent others from seeing your slimness. For people with thicker arms, the sleeves of the sweater should be wider.

Light-colored sweaters should be paired with similarly light-colored coats, pants, etc. For example, if you wear a pink sweater, you can pair it with white, light blue or beige casual pants or jeans.

According to the style of knitted sweater

If it is a long sweater, you can add a slightly thinner base shirt and match it with a pair of tight stretch jeans; if it is a tight sweater with shorts, the upper body underwear is casual, and the lower body can be matched with stretch casual pants.

According to the thickness of the sweater

For very thin sweaters, such as hollow sweaters, if they are light-colored short-sleeved sweaters, it is best to match them with a pair of short white shorts, which makes you look neat and energetic. For thicker sweaters, you can add a cotton underwear inside the upper body and thick wool or velvet socks on the lower body.
