Black clothes are deeply loved by people because of their classic and versatile nature. However, the problem of color fading often troubles people. Why do the black clothes fade? The main reason lies in the fact that the dyes gradually dissolve in the physical and chemical reactions. The high washing frequency, improper drying, long-time direct sunlight, or even the characteristics of the fabrics themselves may have an impact on the durability of the colors. For example, cotton, linen, and other natural fibers tend to fade more easily than artificial materials like polyester.
Regarding these problems, laundry shops can adopt the following professional skills to help customers extend the service life of black clothes and maintain their beauty.
Analysis of Color Fading
The color fading of black clothes is not only a problem in terms of appearance, but it is also closely related to the types of dyes, the structure of textiles, and the operating environment. The bonding strength of dyes and fibers determines the firmness of the colors. The friction during the daily wearing and the washing process, heat, and chemical substances all accelerate the shedding of dyes. In addition, sweat, UV light, and improper storage are also common factors that cause the clothes to turn red or gray.
Professional Laundry Solutions for Preventing Color Fading
- Choose the right washing methods
Before washing black clothes, people should confirm the fabric composition according to the washing label and adopt the corresponding washing plan. It is recommended to use cold water (below 30 degrees Celsius) and special mild detergents to reduce the dye dissolution.
Kingstar wet cleaning machine can provide a program for dark clothing care, and provide a reasonable water temperature. Also, it is recommended to turn the inside of the clothes out to reduce the risk of color fading caused by the surface friction.
- Avoid Using Softeners and Bleach
Although the textile softeners can make the clothes soft, their chemical components may damage the structure of the dyes and cause the colors to gradually fade. What should be totally avoided is bleach. Once in contact, many black clothes will have chemical discoloration and turn irreversible reddish-brown. Professional laundry shops should clearly prohibit the use of such auxiliaries in black clothing in their processes.
- Scientific Drying
Black clothes should be air-dried in a ventilated place without direct sunlight. If the clothes must be dried in the dryer, people must choose the low-temperature mode and turn the clothes inside out.
Kingstar Industrial Dryers has an intelligent temperature control and humidity monitoring system. They can control the temperature of the intake air, and achieve highly efficient drying in the premise of protecting colors. After drying, the clothes must be taken out immediately to avoid residual heat from causing the clothes to deteriorate.
- Color Fixative and Other Skills
Adding color fixative when people wash black clothes can effectively fix dye molecules and slow down color fading.
Additionally, customers are advised to reduce frequent washing and try spot treatment instead for local stains.
If the clothes show obvious reddening or whitening, they need to be repaired and re-dyed by a professional agency.
Conclusion
The color protection of black clothes is a systematic job that needs overall monitoring and controlling of cleaning, drying, and storing. As a provider of professional care, laundry shops should provide customized services for each piece of black clothes by virtue of the highly efficient and controllable laundry equipment, like intelligent wet cleaning machines and dryers, and scientific washing and care solutions.
