How to wash a thing so that she sat down? Features of processing of wool, cotton and jeans trousers

Clothing made from natural fabrics is rapidly stretched with regular wear, losing its original appearance and clear shape. Before you go to the atelier to make corrections or throw away your favorite product, it is worth reading the recommendations on how to wash the thing so that it sat down. This technique has proven itself as a quick and effective way to solve the problem.

If you do everything right, you can count on a positive result after the first approach. Simple manipulations can restore your favorite sweater, which has become dimensionless, sagging on some sections of the jacket, lost elasticity of the cap and even a delicate silk blouse.

It should be noted that if the trouble occurred with a synthetic cloth, then it will be possible to restore it only if there are natural fibers in the composition of matter. However, only mixed synthetics can stretch, losing form.

How to make a village of a thing made of wool?

When restoring woolen products, it is necessary to read the instructions for washing them and do the opposite. Only you need to act carefully, without going to extremes.

To minimize the risks of porous products, it is recommended to work as follows:

• First, the affected sweater or hat should be soaked in hot water. The duration of the stage should not be more than half an hour. The liquid temperature is set about 20 degrees higher than the one indicated on the tag.
• After a specified time, a woolen thing, using very cold water, you can even add a few pieces of ice to the liquid. Correctly organized temperature difference will make a significant part of the work.
• Wash washed wool in a dry and warm terry towel. We remove excess moisture by soaking movements. Unscrewing woolen clothes is highly discouraged, especially a sweater, dress or jacket.
• The clothes are then dried. We lay a hygroscopic fabric on a dense horizontal surface without visible relief. On top of the spread sweater or other product. It is desirable to direct the flow of artificial heat to the wool, then the shrinkage will be more dense. During drying, the object needs to be given the desired shape by hand, regularly adjusting the material so that it does not stretch.

Tip: Wool cap is best to pull on an inverted salad bowl or vase with a rounded smooth bottom of a suitable size.

Washing in the machine also gives a strong shrinkage, but it's very difficult to control the process. In extreme cases, a stretched sweater can be driven out in a special mode for wool or hand-washing, but the result may be unpredictable.

How to "plant" cotton at home?

Practice shows that a cotton T-shirt stretches even faster than a wool sweater. But in this case it is also possible to adjust the form of the thing. It is worth considering that when working with cotton, recovery is possible only if the clothes have been sewn correctly. If the threads are located and directed incorrectly, then nothing will be done.

Cotton products give maximum shrinkage in the following cases:

1. Washing in the machine, which uses a mode with very hot water and maximum spin.
2. The product can simply be lowered into boiling water. True, even a short stay of a colored product in such hot water can provoke its moulting. But only five minutes of treatment will reduce the thing by size, a quarter of an hour in boiling water and clothes will be 1.5-2 times smaller.
3. If you do not want to risk the color of a thing, then it is better to wash it in the traditional way, then place it in the electric dryer.

The result is evaluated for a completely dried product. If the first time you could not do anything, try not even try. The positive effect is likely not to come, but it will finally be spoiled. In this case, you need to contact the atelier or update the wardrobe.

Effective methods of influencing jeans, silk and synthetics

Working with a denim fabric is carried out only if it contains cotton. In this case, the responsibility for the result is again on hot water. The product is soaked in a liquid, the temperature of which should not exceed 60 ° C, otherwise the color of matter will start to wash out. After the water has cooled down, we wash the products as usual, we try to rub at a minimum. Then squeeze the pants with a terry towel and put it to dry. At the same time, parts of the product should not be drawn off. In a vertical position, the jeans are dry only if you need to keep their length, reducing the volume.

To reduce the size of a silk product, it is sufficient to hold it in warm water, the temperature of which will be the maximum permissible limits. After that, the thing is dried naturally.

Polyester and nylon will noticeably sit down if you just wash them in cold water. Dry them better in the washing machine, at high speed. Otherwise, the product will have to be dried directly on the battery.

Products made of acrylic, spandex and lycra are not amenable to reduction due to chemical or physical effects. Their size can be changed only by altering the object. But if such materials are stretched, then it will be very difficult to restore the original form of the product.
