Pure cotton clothing is one of our common clothing materials. Its softness and breathability are loved by many people. However, pure cotton clothing is prone to yellowing, which not only affects the appearance of the clothing, but also reduces its service life. In order to say goodbye to the trouble of yellowing of pure cotton clothes, below I will introduce some methods to prevent pure cotton clothes from turning yellow.
1. Correct storage method:
Pure cotton clothes are easy to absorb moisture and can easily breed mold in a humid environment, leading to yellowing. . Therefore, when storing pure cotton clothing, you should choose a dry and ventilated place to avoid exposure to direct sunlight. At the same time, avoid contact with wet items, such as wet floors or other fabrics with high humidity.
2. Pay attention to the washing method:
When washing pure cotton clothes, choose a mild detergent and follow the instructions on the clothing label. Wash according to the instructions. Avoid using detergents that contain bleach, as bleach can turn cotton clothing yellow. Also, avoid washing pure cotton clothing at high temperatures to avoid damaging the fiber structure.
3. Clean stains in time:
If stains on pure cotton clothing are not cleaned in time, it is easy to cause stains over time. Clothes turn yellow. Therefore, stains should be dealt with promptly when found. For more stubborn stains, you can use professional detergent or bleach, but pay attention to the usage method and proportion.
4. Avoid contact with chemical substances:
Certain chemicals, such as bleach, dyes, perfumes, etc., will cause damage to pure cotton. A chemical reaction occurs in the clothes, causing the clothes to turn yellow. Therefore, when wearing pure cotton clothing, try to avoid direct contact with these chemicals, and be careful to avoid using detergents containing these chemical ingredients.
5. Regular disinfection:
Regular disinfection of pure cotton clothing is also an important step to avoid yellowing. You can add an appropriate amount of disinfectant during the washing process, or use a special disinfectant for soaking to kill bacteria and mold on the surface of the clothes.
6. Use softener:
Using softener can improve the softness of pure cotton clothes and reduce static electricity caused by friction. , and at the same time, it can also form a protective film, which can prevent yellowing to a certain extent.
In addition to the above methods, I would also like to remind everyone that after long-term use, pure cotton clothing may become damaged due to fiber aging, color fading, etc. A certain degree of yellowing occurs, which is normal. Therefore, it is important to master the correct maintenance methods, but the corresponding expectations also need to be reasonable.
