Dec 15, 2021

Home textile products are indispensable products in people's lives. Home textile products of various fabrics are also dazzling. So which fabric is the most suitable for us?


Cotton fiber:

Cotton fiber is a seed fiber formed by the elongation and thickening of the epidermal cells of the fertilized ovule, which is different from ordinary bast fiber. Its main component is cellulose. Because cotton fiber has many excellent economic properties, it has become the most important raw material for the textile industry.

characteristic

①Hygroscopicity: Its moisture content is 8-10%, so it touches human skin, making people feel soft and comfortable but not rigid.

②Heat retention: Cotton fiber itself has the advantages of porosity and high elasticity, a large amount of air can accumulate between the fibers, and it has good moisture retention.

③Heat resistance: Pure cotton fabric has good heat resistance. When it is below 110℃, it will only cause the moisture on the fabric to evaporate without damaging the fiber. Therefore, the pure cotton fabric has no effect on the fabric under normal temperature, washing, printing and dyeing. Pure cotton fabric Washable and durable.

④Alkali resistance: cotton fiber has a greater resistance to alkali, and the cotton fiber will not be damaged in the alkali solution.   

⑤ Hygiene: Cotton fiber is natural fiber, its main component is cellulose, and a small amount of waxy substance and pectin. The pure cotton fabric has no irritation and side effects in contact with the skin, and is beneficial and harmless to the human body.

①The floating color of cotton fabric is easy to lose (floating color does not affect the color of the fabric itself). When washing, dark-colored products should be washed separately from light-colored products to prevent cross-dyeing from affecting the appearance of the fabric.

②It is not advisable to soak in the washing liquid for too long. The soaking time should not exceed 30 minutes to avoid discoloration, and can not use bleaching water.

③It is recommended to use gentle machine washing for pure cotton products. For jacquard fabrics, hard brushes should not be used to wash them vigorously to prevent yarn breakage and lint.

④ The drying time should not be too long or exposed to the sun to prevent the color from being damaged.


silk:

Silk is a continuous long fiber which is solidified by the silk liquid secreted by the cocoon of a cooked silkworm. It is also called natural silk and is a natural fiber. Silkworms include mulberry silkworm, tussah silkworm, castor silkworm, cassava silkworm, willow silkworm and sky silkworm. Among them, the most used is mulberry silk, followed by tussah silk. Silk is light and slender, the fabric has good luster, comfortable to wear, smooth and plump, poor thermal conductivity, moisture absorption and breathability. It is used to weave various silks and knitwear, and is used in industries, national defense and medicine.

characteristic

① It is a natural protein fiber, the lightest, softest and thinnest natural fiber in nature.

②It is rich in 18 kinds of amino acids needed by the human body, and its protein is similar to the chemical composition of human skin, so it is soft and comfortable when in contact with the skin.

③Have a certain health care effect, it can promote the vitality of human skin cells and prevent hardening of blood vessels. The silk fibroin component in its structure has the effects of moisturizing, beautifying and preventing skin aging on human skin, and has a special auxiliary treatment effect on skin diseases.

④It has a certain health care effect for patients with arthritis, frozen shoulder and asthma. At the same time, silk products are especially suitable for the elderly and children because they are light, soft, soft and do not absorb dust.

⑤Silk quilt has good cold resistance and constant temperature, it is comfortable to cover and it is not easy to kick the quilt.

maintainance:

①Washable silk fabrics must be washed with neutral or weak acid detergents, and gently in the washing machine (open the silk and wool function keys).

② Silk fabrics should not be exposed to the sun when drying, and should be ventilated and dried in a cool and dry place.

③When the silk quilt is stored, it is recommended to cover it with a dark cloth bag or a moisture-proof bag to prevent it from turning yellow. Camphor balls cannot be used for anti-corrosion and insect control, and no heavy pressure.


Tencel:

Tencel fiber, transliterated as Tansil fiber, also known as "Tencel", is a mixture of conifer-based wood pulp, water and solvent ammonium oxide, heated to complete dissolution, and no derivatives and chemicals will be produced during the dissolution process. Function, after removing impurities and spinning directly, its molecular structure is simple carbohydrate.

characteristic

①The Tencel fabric feels soft, with silk-like soft touch and drape.

② Tencel's constant temperature and moisture absorption are better than cotton fabrics, and the comfort during use is significantly better than that of ordinary fabrics. To a certain extent, it can well avoid the phenomenon of sultry and humidity.

③ Tencel has a cooler touch, but its heating speed, close-fitting and thermal insulation are much better than pure cotton fabrics.

④ Tencel fiber is comfortable, breathable, anti-mite and anti-static, and has the advantages of strong durability, good elasticity, not easy to wrinkle, and easy to clean and clean.

maintainance

①When washing, the washing machine is adjusted to the weak cycle level for washing, the time should not be too long, and the water temperature is moderate.

②Washing should be separated from dyed clothes to prevent dyeing, and neutral detergent and softener should be used.

③Be careful not to expose to the sun, hang in the air when drying, and use appropriate fragrance fresheners.


bamboo fiber:

Bamboo fiber series products are made of natural bamboo as raw material, bamboo cellulose extracted from bamboo, and processed by physical methods such as cooking. It does not contain any chemical additives and is a truly environmentally friendly fiber.

characteristic

①Pure natural: 100% pure natural material, natural biodegradable ecological textile fiber.

②Safety: Natural "three-nos" products without additives, heavy metals, and harmful chemicals.

③Breathability: strong breathability, moisture absorption and dehumidification, known as the "breathing" fiber.

④Comfort: soft fiber tissue, silky feel of natural beauty.

⑤ Anti-radiation: absorb and reduce radiation, effectively resist ultraviolet rays.

⑥Healthy: Suitable for all kinds of skin, baby skin can also be cared for carefully.

maintainance

①Washing: washing at room temperature (water temperature below 40℃), soaking in high temperature is not allowed. It should not be washed in the same machine as chemical fiber fabrics. It is recommended to use neutral laundry detergent for cleaning, and scrubbing with alkaline detergent will easily damage its fabric structure. If you want to use the washing machine to wash in gentle mode, it is best to wash by hand.

② Drying: After washing, place it in a ventilated and dark place to dry, and cannot be exposed to sunlight.

③Ironing: Ironing at low temperature, do not use force to twist, the toughness of bamboo fiber after absorbing water will be reduced to 60-70% before absorbing water, do not pull it hard to reduce the service life.


Modal:

Modal fiber is a kind of cellulose fiber. The raw material of this fiber uses European beech tree as raw material. It is first made into wood pulp, and then processed into fiber through a special spinning process. There is no pollution in the entire production process of the fiber. The raw materials of this product are all 100% natural materials, which are harmless to the human body and can be decomposed naturally.

characteristic

①It has a soft hand feel, good drape, comfortable to wear, natural wrinkle resistance and non-ironing properties.  

②The moisture absorption and air permeability are better than pure cotton fabric, which is beneficial to the physiological circulation and health of the human body.

③Modal fiber fabric surface is flat, delicate and smooth, with the effect of natural silk.

④Dyeability is better than pure cotton products, the product color is bright and bright, it is a natural mercerized fabric.

⑤Modal fiber fabrics have stable performance. After testing and comparison, cotton fabrics will feel harder and harder after 25 washings, while Modal fiber fabrics are just the opposite. Modal fabrics still maintain the original smooth and supple feel after repeated washings. Soft and bright, and the more you wash the softer, the more you wash the brighter.

maintainance

① Minimize friction and pulling when using, and change and wash frequently.

②After washing, drying, and ironing, they should be stacked flat.

③Modal is highly hygroscopic, so moldy caused by high temperature, high humidity and unclean environment should be prevented in the collection.

④Medium-temperature ironing is required when ironing, and pushing and pulling should be used less when ironing, so that it can stretch and align naturally.


Lace:

Lace is an exotic, mesh structure, which was first woven by hand with crochet needles. The production of lace is a very complicated process. It is knitted with silk threads or yarns in a certain pattern, unlike some traditional laces in China that are crocheted or embroidered. When making, you need to wrap the silk thread on each of the small shuttles, each of which is only the size of a thumb. A less complicated pattern requires dozens or nearly a hundred of such shuttles, and a larger pattern requires hundreds of shuttles. Put the pattern underneath when making, and use different knitting, knotting, winding and other methods to make according to the pattern.

characteristic

Lace uses nylon, polyester, cotton, and rayon as the main raw materials. If supplemented with spandex or stretch yarn, elasticity can be obtained. There are four common ones:

①Cotton (or polyester) + spandex: common stretch lace

②Nylon + polyester + (spandex): It can be made into two-color lace, which is made by dyeing nylon and polyester in different colors.

③All polyester (or all nylon): It can be divided into monofilament and filament. Monofilament is mostly used in wedding dresses; filaments can imitate the effect of cotton.

④Nylon (polyester) + cotton: it can be made into a different color effect on the bottom of the flower.

maintainance

①Try not to put the lace in the washing machine for cleaning. The fine lace needs to be washed by hand or taken to a professional dry cleaner.

②When cleaning lace, use mild soap or a detergent specially designed for cleaning delicate textiles.

③Before cleaning, spread the towel in the sink, and then use the towel to pick up the lace after washing. This can prevent the lace from being pulled off accidentally.

④Wrap the wet lace in a towel to absorb the moisture, and then spread them flat on a mesh drying rack to dry naturally.
