In daily operations, what laundry shops<\/b><\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0fear most is not difficult stains, but misidentifying fabrics. Acetate and silk have similar textures and luster. A single mistake may cause shrinkage, deformation, color fading, and shine marks. Garments may become difficult to restore.<\/p>\n

Fabric Identification<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The correct method is to first check care labels. Second, check fabric content. Third, check the weave and appearance. Fourth, do a sample test, and record details (such as fabric identification, colorfastness, suitability for wet cleaning<\/b><\/u><\/strong><\/a>, and stain removal precautions). If customer garments have no care labels or unknown content and their appearance shows signs of brittleness, shine marks, or pilling, inform them of the risks. Avoid direct washing.<\/p>\n

Stain Removal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Laundry shops easily make mistakes in stain removal. The proper tool is a soft brush. Also, wrap a brush with a towel. Protect textiles from bristles. Scrapers can damage textile appearance. For example, it can cause pilling, creasing, and shine marks, especially on acetate, silk, satin, and velvet. During operations, gently brush or dab the stains from their edges toward the center. Put a white, absorbent cloth under the fabric. Also, monitor the color and fiber conditions.<\/p>\n

Before stain removal, identify the stain types and choose proper stain removers. Don\u2019t use acetic acid for tannin (tea, coffee, wine, and juice) and protein-based stains (blood, milk, and egg). Mild acetic acid can damage acetate when heated. Therefore, protect acetate from stain removers containing acetic acid. Do not heat when cleaning. Oil stains (grease and paint) require specialized removers, and dry clean the garment promptly.<\/p>\n

Wet Cleaning <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Regular washing is not recommended for most rayon and acetate. However, they can be wet cleaned with professional wet cleaning machines and specialized detergents.<\/p>\n

Velvet, crepe, and\u00a0gabardine are not recommended for wet cleaning. Otherwise, velvet can flatten and become deformed. Crepe can lose its crinkled texture, while gabardine can shrink, blister, and lose its shape.<\/p>\n
