1. Preparation
Before cleaning cotton and linen fabrics, sufficient preparations need to be made. First, large stains on clothes need to be pre-treated. These stains can be oil stains, ink stains, marks, etc., which need to be treated with professional cleaners to better remove the stains. Secondly, before any cleaning, you should first check the details of the clothes, such as collars, cuffs, pockets, etc. These parts are often more likely to harbor dirt and require careful inspection. After inspection, all buttons need to be unfastened so that water can flow in better during cleaning.
2. Selection and use of detergents
Choosing the right detergent is the key to cleaning cotton and linen fabrics. Generally speaking, cotton and linen materials are more susceptible to damage, so you need to choose a mild detergent. At the same time, detergents should have good stain removal capabilities. If the stains on your clothes are serious, you can use a professional stain remover. When using detergent, make appropriate adjustments based on the capacity of the washing machine and the number of clothes. Generally speaking, you should use warm or cold water when cleaning cotton and linen fabrics to prevent the clothes from shrinking or deforming.
3. Precautions for washing and drying
When washing, be careful not to wash cotton and linen fabrics together with clothes made of other materials, and avoid using detergents containing bleach. During the washing process, it is necessary to avoid excessive agitation to avoid damaging the clothes. In addition, it needs to be dried immediately after washing to avoid moisture and mold.
When drying, do not expose the clothes directly to the sun, as this will easily cause the cotton and linen fabrics to harden and lose their softness, and may also cause the color of the clothes to fade. Therefore, you should choose to dry indoors or in a sheltered place when drying. If you want your clothes to dry faster, you can lightly dry them and add appropriate fabric softener.
