The reason why linen fabrics are prone to wrinkling is mainly related to the fiber of linen. Linen clothes are relatively tough, but they have no elasticity. Other fabrics can slowly return to their original shape after deformation, but linen clothes cannot. Once they are deformed, they will wrinkle. So we need to spend more time and energy to take care of them carefully.
So, how can we prevent linen clothes from wrinkling?
How to wash?
1. During the washing process, the first thing to pay attention to is to use a neutral detergent, because clothes made of this material will fade on the surface with alkaline detergents, especially washing powder, which should not be used. Because the substances contained in it can easily shrink clothes and cause serious discoloration. New clothes should be soaked in clean water first, without any liquid, and then washed and dried.
2. During the washing process, you should also pay attention to the water temperature, which should be very low. You can only use cold water to wash, because the color locking property of this type of material is very poor. If the water temperature is slightly higher, the color will all fade, and it will also damage the clothes.
3After washing the clothes, it is necessary to acidify them again, or because its color is easy to fall off, so we can prepare a basin of clean water, and then put a few drops of white vinegar in the basin, the water can be acidic, put the washed clothes in it again, soak for 3 minutes, and then dry them. After washing, in the process of drying, you should first flatten it, and then put it in a cool place to dry.
How to iron and remove wrinkles?
When the clothes are 90% dry, take them down and fold them neatly, and then iron them with a steam iron or a hanging iron, because this method is the least harmful to the clothes and can also protect its color well.
When using a steam iron, it is best to choose a hanging iron, which is convenient to use and has a better wrinkle removal effect after ironing. When ironing linen clothes, pay attention to the temperature. The temperature should be controlled between 200℃~230℃, and the clothes should be ironed when they are half dry, so that the ironing effect is the best.
How to avoid shrinkage?
Regarding the shrinkage problem, we need to pay attention to the fact that we cannot use hot water during the washing process, only cold water can be used. Only neutral detergents can be used during the washing process. Other detergents will destroy the internal structure and cause shrinkage. During the washing process, it is necessary to soak for a period of time first. After soaking fully, gently rub it with your hands. After that, drain the water and dry it. Do not wring it vigorously, which will not only make it wrinkled, but also shrink it. The most important reason why clothes of this material shrink is the problem of dehydration, so it is best to dry them directly after washing.
According to the above methods, washing and caring for linen clothes can effectively remove wrinkles and make the clothes wear longer
