The color changes after being washed are often the complaints that the laundry shops face. Though customers always think it\u2019s completely due to the laundry shops, the practical situation is far more complicated. According to the analysis, the reasons why colors change are complex, including the usage, manufacturer, laundry process, and other factors. The laundry shops must have professional knowledge and solutions.<\/p>\n
Three Major Reasons<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2751 Wear and tear during the use of clothes (from customers)<\/strong><\/p>\n The accumulated sunshine (especially UV) will make the dyes of the clothes decompose gradually. During washing, the colors will be easier to wash off, leading to the color difference.<\/p>\n The color of areas that are frequently rubbed and bent (collars, cuffs, and trouser cuffs) will wear thin and become lighter.<\/p>\n Long-term adhesion of stains such as sweat, beverages, and cosmetics can directly damage dyes or cause local oxidation and discoloration. Some stains may also damage the dye when being removed.<\/p>\n \u2751 Inherent deficiencies in the production process (from the manufacturer)<\/strong><\/p>\n The dyeing process itself is bad (poor color fastness) and cannot withstand normal washing.<\/p>\n The washing method on the label cannot match the actual fabrics. Doing the wrong steps according to the label must cause problems.<\/p>\n The bad metal buttons, zippers, and other items fade and rust during washing<\/a><\/strong>, contaminating the surrounding fabrics.<\/p>\n \u2751 The potential risk during the laundry process (for laundry shops)<\/strong><\/p>\n When people do partial stain removal, the dyes get damaged if people use an improper stain remover or a stain remover that is too strong.<\/p>\n Attention: the bleaching components<\/p>\n Many strong laundry detergents (especially those claimed to whiten and brighten), some stain removers, and even ordinary laundry detergents contain fluorescent brighteners (a kind of chemical substance that makes white appear brighter and whiter).<\/p>\n Fabrics such as nylon (polyamide) and rayon (viscose) have extremely strong absorption of these brighteners. They are more likely to be affected.<\/p>\n Change of colors: The areas \u201cdyed\u201d with whitening agents will turn blue, and white, or the overall color will become lighter and uneven. (Typical example: A blue shirt turns pink after washing; The inner lining of the wedding dress is white and shinier than the outer layer.)<\/p>\n Damage to the fabrics:<\/p>\n Nylon, rayon, and other materials are not as strong as cotton by themselves. Strong detergents will accelerate their fading, pilling, and deformation. Also, the fabrics of modern garments are diverse (such as those mixed with nylon, elastic fibers, and patchwork designs), and old experiences may not apply.<\/p>\n\n
