Proper maintenance and care can effectively extend the lifespan of adult home wear suits, preserving the texture of the fabric and the comfort of wearing. The care methods for different materials have their respective focuses.
Cotton home wear can be washed at room temperature or with cold water. Wash dark and light colors separately to avoid staining. Use a neutral detergent and avoid damaging the fabric with bleach. After washing, gently wring out the excess water, lay it flat or hang it to dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent the fabric from yellowing and hardening. If there are wrinkles, iron them at low temperature for finishing.
For modal and recycled fiber fabrics, gentle washing is required. Avoid vigorous rubbing and brushing, and do not soak for extended periods. Choose a low-speed washing mode, and wash in cold or warm water to prevent shrinkage and pilling. When drying, avoid direct sunlight and let it air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated place. No ironing is necessary. When hanging, avoid excessive pulling to prevent deformation of the shape.
Before wearing flannel, coral velvet, and other plush fabrics for the first time, gently shake them to remove any loose hairs on the surface. When washing, use cold water and choose a dedicated plush clothing detergent. Avoid washing them with sharp clothing or zippers to prevent snagging and pilling. Do not dry them in a dryer, but lay them flat to dry in the sun. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, which can cause the fluff to become hard and lose its fluffy feel. You can gently comb the surface hairs daily to maintain the soft texture. If static electricity occurs, use a fabric softener to alleviate the issue.
For knitted home wear, it is recommended to hand wash or machine wash in a laundry bag, using low speed and gentle mode to avoid deformation caused by pulling. When drying, lay it flat to prevent the garment from stretching due to gravity when hung. Do not iron at high temperatures. If ironing is necessary, use a low temperature and a barrier fabric to maintain the elasticity and shape of the fabric.
When storing all home wear, it is necessary to clean and dry them before folding and placing them in a dry and ventilated wardrobe to avoid bacteria breeding in a humid environment. Plush and knitted items can be stacked to avoid being squeezed by heavy objects, maintaining the original shape of the fabric. If not worn for a long time, insect repellent can be placed inside, but direct contact with the fabric should be avoided to prevent stains and damage.
