Chemical fiber fabric shrinks or becomes brittle
Reason: PVC contains reinforcement, or polypropylene in the fabric dissolves and denatures in the solvent.
Solution:
1. PVC or clothing containing polypropylene fiber should not be dry cleaned.
2. Pay special attention to clothing that indicates "mixed fiber" on the clothing label. This table may contain polypropylene.
3. Before dry cleaning, check whether polypropylene is contained (polypropylene fibers will float on the water surface).
4. Once shrinkage occurs and becomes brittle, it cannot be restored.
5. After dry cleaning, the shrinkable velvet can be passed through hot steam, and it can be stretched and fixed with a wool fabric shaper.
Acrylates or modified acrylic acid, ester fibers, clothing shrink
Reason: The drying temperature is too high.
Solution: During the drying process, ensure that the outlet air temperature does not exceed: 50℃ acrylates and 40℃ modified acrylates.
Wool fabric shrinkage fading
Reason: The moisture content in the dry cleaning solvent is too high, especially when washing clothes such as wool, cashmere, and Angora cotton wool.
Solution:
1. During the stain removal process, avoid adding excessive water.
2. Use high-quality dry cleaning additives to keep the moisture in the dry cleaning oil rather than in the fabric.
3. If possible or conditions permit, the over-weather clothing should be pre-dried to remove natural moisture.
4. If possible, clean the wool fabric together.
