Wool Sweater

Sweater is one of the must-have items in winter. It is not only very warm, but also very beautiful. It needs to be dry cleaned, but it is not cost-effective to send it to a dry cleaner. Can you clean it at home?How to buy wool clothes? Let me introduce to you how to buy and clean woolen clothes by yourself.

What is a wool sweater?

Woolen clothes are high-grade fiber-based clothing made of wool as the main material. Wool is an important raw material for the textile industry. It has the advantages of good elasticity, strong hygroscopicity and good warmth retention. However, due to the high price, it is not used much for the production of nonwovens. Non-woven fabrics produced with good wool are limited to a few high-grade industrial fabrics such as needle-punched blankets and high-grade needle-punched felts. Generally, short hair and coarse wool in wool processing are used to produce carpet underlay, acupuncture carpet sandwich layer, thermal insulation materials and other products by acupuncture, stitching and other methods. This type of wool has different lengths, high impurities, poor spinnability, and is difficult to process. The product can be chemically post-treated to improve quality.

Things to consider when buying sweaters:

  1. Look at the composition of the fabric.
  2. Most of the clothes have ingredient labels. We try to choose fabrics with high wool content, which are not easy to pilling and have good gloss with high warmth retention.
  3. High-quality wool products with high wool components will feel soft, skin-friendly and thick, with clear lines.
  4. Try rubbing the fabric with your hands to see if there are small balls. Generally, the pilling fabric will not be a good wool quality, so you must not buy this kind of fabric.

How to wash 100% wool clothes:

  1. If you wash with water, be sure to use cold water, not hot and warm water; if you use machine wash, but don't spin dry, it is recommended to use neutral detergent to clean pure wool fabrics.
  2. After washing, wring out the water by hand, put it on a dry cloth (dry sheets can also be used), lay it out, do not fold it, and place it on the dry cloth for 2 to 3 days.
  3. Hang the 60% dry wool clothes on the drying rack, use two or three braces, and keep it cool, so that it is not easy to deform.

Precautions when washing woolen clothes:

  1. It is not resistant to alkali. If it is washed with water, it is advisable to use a neutral non-enzyme detergent, and it is best to use a special detergent for wool. If you use a washing machine to wash, it is better to use a front-loading washing machine and choose a gentle program. Such as hand washing, it is best to gently rub and wash, and do not use a washboard to scrub.
  2. Wool fabrics will shrink and deform in an aqueous solution above 30 degrees. Gu Yi is soaked in cold water for a short time, and the washing temperature does not exceed 40 degrees. Gently pinch and wash, and do not scrub vigorously. Always use a laundry bag when machine washing, and choose a light gear. Dark colors generally fade easily.
  3. Use squeezing washing, avoid twisting, squeezing to remove water, spread out in the shade or fold in half to dry in the shade; reshaping in wet or half-dry form, can remove wrinkles, and do not expose to sunlight.
  4. Use a softener to maintain a soft feel and antistatic.
  5. Do not use chlorine-containing bleaching liquid, but oxygen-containing color bleaching.

Precautions when storing woolen clothes:

  1. Avoid contact with sharp, rough items and strong alkaline items.
  2. Choose a cool and ventilated place to dry, and store it after drying.
  3. During the collection period, the cabinet should be opened regularly, ventilated and ventilated, and kept dry.
