The clothes in summer are thin and colorful. How to reduce problems like dyeing or color mixing, and so on? Laundry plants should follow the principle: “Low, neutral, high, quick”. The details are as follows.
Low: Low water temperature
The water temperature directly affects the color fastness of the fibers. When washing pure color clothes or white clothes, the high or low water temperature won’t harm the colors. When washing clothes with multiple colors, low-temperature or normal-temperature water should be chosen to maintain the safety of the laundry clothes and avoid the color fading or color mixing phenomena caused by excessively high temperature.
Neutral: Neutralizing Agent
During laundry, the laundry detergents are the important factors for clothes cleaning. If the amount of detergent is not enough, the washing effects will be poor, and the clothes may have to be rewashed frequently. An excessive amount of detergents may increase production costs and do great harm to the color of the clothes. It may also cause the phenomenon that the rinsing process is not sufficient and the detergents have residue. Choosing detergents correctly and adding detergents according to the standard proportion are very important. For clothes with multiple colors, there may be color mixing and dyeing phenomena. Hand washing these clothes with neutralizing agents or using professional wet cleaning machines together with wet cleaning agents which has protection functions for the fabrics and fibers is the best choice. Colorful clothes won’t have severe color fading accidents due to acidic or alkaline detergents.
High Water Level
When washing clothes with multiple colors, the reason for the color mix is that the quantity of water cannot match the quantity of clothes. If the water level is low, then the clothes cannot completely stretch in the water. If the clothes are curled up, and many parts are pressed for a long time, it will also cause the color mixing.
Quick: Quick washing, quick dehydration, and quick drying
During the laundry process, the slow laundry speed and long soaking will easily cause the color mixing of the clothes. The washing speed is also the main factor that directly has an impact on the fading of the clothes. For colorful clothes, a quick washing method should be chosen. The washing procedure should be before the clothes’ colors begin to fade. During the last rinsing, an acidic treatment should be done. (If people soak the clothes in water for a long time, the dyeing accident will easily occur.)
- Quick dehydration:
After washing, the clothes should be dehydrated. Using white cloth or white towels to wrap the clothes can prevent the color mixing caused by the folding of the clothes. During the dehydration, people should bring out the dehydration bucket as soon as possible to do the drying process.
- Drying speed:
When drying the colorful clothes, people should better choose to dry clothes with dryers to try to make the clothes dry in the shortest time. The slower the drying, the more easily the color mixing occurs. Quick dry treatment is also the main method to reduce accidents.
Conclusion
All the above steps should be done consistently. For clothes whose colors easily fade, the test of color fading should be done before washing. Then, the washing after the test can effectively avoid laundry accidents.
