Corduroy fabric is a very popular fabric, it has soft, comfortable, warm characteristics. However, it is also relatively prone to problems such as hairballs and fading. In order to protect the quality of corduroy fabric and extend its service life, we need to properly maintain it.
Here are some ways to care for corduroy fabric.
1. Preparation before care:
Before starting to care for corduroy fabric, there are a few things to prepare:
• Steam iron: A steam iron can be used to remove wrinkles and bacteria from fabrics while enhancing the texture of the fabric. Before ironing the corduroy, heat up the steam iron and adjust it to the proper temperature.
• Clothing brush: Used to remove dust and impurities from corduroy fabrics.
• Double-sided tape: Used to remove hairballs from fabrics.
• Mild laundry detergent: For washing clothes.
• Cold water: The water temperature needed to prepare the corduroy for washing.
2. Wash corduroy clothes:
In order to protect the color and texture of the corduroy fabric, use a mild laundry detergent and cool water to wash the corduroy by hand. First, gently brush the foreign matter out of the clothing, and then put the laundry detergent into a basin of cool water to dissolve it. Place the corduroy in the water and rub gently to make sure it is thoroughly soaked. Then wash with cool water to ensure that the washing material is clean. Also, rinse well with water to make sure the detergent is completely removed. Never use bleach, as it can easily damage corduroy fabric.
3. Removing hairballs:
Corduroy fabric is easy to produce hairballs, affecting the appearance and quality of the fabric. Use double-sided tape to remove hairballs from corduroy clothing. Apply double-sided tape to the palm of your hand, then gently wipe the surface of the garment with the palm of your hand, and the ball will stick to the tape.
4. Drying and ironing:
Corduroy fabrics should not be directly dried in the sun to avoid color fading. Instead, choose a place to dry out of direct sunlight or use a fabric hanger to dry. Before drying, turn the garment upside down to preserve the texture and shine of the corduroy. Also, turn clothes upside down before ironing. When using an iron, set the iron to a low to medium temperature and test on an inconspicuous area before ironing. Make sure the iron is not in contact with the material for too long to avoid darkening and burning.
5. Store:
Proper storage is the key to extending the service life of corduroy clothing. Make sure corduroy clothes are thoroughly dry before putting them in your closet. Also, hang clothes instead of folding them. This will avoid unwanted wrinkles on the garment, while also maintaining the shape and shine of the corduroy.
To sum up, to maintain the quality of corduroy fabric clothing and extend its service life, it is necessary to carry out proper maintenance. This includes gentle hand washing, removing hairballs, properly drying and storing. With the right care, we can ensure that corduroy clothes remain soft and comfortable, bright in color, and last longer.
