Jeans must be a fashion necessity, and friends who can dress up will definitely have a lot of jeans to go with their clothes, but will you care and love them as a baby? A friend once told me: Treat jeans like cattle. Don't wash often, just bask in the sun occasionally. Is it difficult to agree? Of course, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't wash it if it is dirty. Hygiene is also very important. But starting today, please don't throw jeans into the washing machine casually, and take a good look at what you need to know about jeans before washing them:
1. The best cleaning time for jeans is 6- 12 months.
Most friends wear jeans for a week or put them in the washing machine if they are a little sweaty. In fact, this will do great harm to jeans. If you do this for a long time, jeans will go out of shape, and you won't have the comfort and graceful leg shape of a car.
The correct way should be to wash jeans every 6- 12 months as much as possible. If you sweat a lot in summer, you can hang your jeans in a ventilated place, spray some clean water and let them dry in the wind, so that the sweat on your jeans will not be. If some clean things are stuck on jeans, you can spray clean water on the stolen place, then gently pinch off the stolen things, and then hang them in a well-ventilated place like above and let them dry themselves!
2. Do not dry clean or machine wash for the first time.
Everyone must have the impression that jeans must be hard when they are washed dry. This is not only because you used washing powder, but also because there is a layer of glue on the denim. So when cleaning for the first time, try not to use machine washing or dry cleaning. It's best to wear it on yourself to clean it. Cleaning jeans in this way will make jeans more in line with the leg shape, and the wearing effect will be better. After cleaning, you should hang it in a ventilated place like a top strip and let it dry by itself.
3. Jeans must be color-preserved before washing.
Jeans must be treated with some basic color retention before washing, otherwise they will be washed white soon. Color retention treatment is actually very simple. Before washing, soak the jeans in a basin, then add two spoonfuls of white vinegar and soak for about half an hour, so that the color fading of the jeans will not be so serious. You can try if you don't believe me.
If it is the first time to get into the water, you need to pour some white vinegar into the water, and at the same time, soak the pants upside down for about half an hour to lock the color, because the dark pants will inevitably fade a little, and the white vinegar can keep the original luster of the blue as much as possible.
Please don't soak your trousers in hot water, it will shrink greatly. Generally, the water temperature is about 30 degrees. If conditions permit, please don't use the washing machine to wash jeans, which will destroy the wrinkle feeling of pants. If you touch the primary color pants, the natural whitening of pants will become unnatural. Don't iron, keep the pants in a natural shape.
3. When washing, be sure to remember to wash out the inside, which can effectively reduce fading. If jeans are not greasy or dirty, try to reduce the amount of laundry detergent (neutral) (try not to use washing powder, alkaline washing powder will easily make jeans fade), and even wash them with water.
4. Fold the jeans and put them in the laundry bag (or wash them by hand). Please use detergent as cleaning agent (because general washing powder has whitening effect), and the ingredients contain a little bleach, so jeans are easy to fade. Detergent does not contain bleach, in addition to cleaning effect, it can also remove oil stains.
5. Hang it from the waist, turn it over and put it in a dry and ventilated place to dry, so as to avoid sun exposure, which may easily lead to serious oxidation and fading.
6. If you want to dehydrate, you should also turn it over to dehydrate. The time should not be too long, just one minute.
Second, how to wash cotton-padded jacket without getting old?
A netizen once asked: I have a dark blue cotton T-shirt. After washing many times, the color of the clothes became very old, and some fine wool appeared, which looked very old. How to wash to keep the color and texture of clothes from fading? I believe this is also a "catastrophe" problem that everyone often encounters. Let's take a concrete look and find out the result from the root cause!
Cotton-padded jacket's main features are comfortable to wear, breathable, sweat-absorbing, and harmless to human body. The dyeing performance of cotton is better, the color cotton T-shirt will fade a little, and the dark color is more obvious. When washing, it should be separated from other clothes, and the soaking time is too long. Mix cotton detergent and solution evenly, and then soak the clothes, otherwise the clothes will fade unevenly.
In summer, clothes are thin, and the wrinkle resistance of pure cotton is not very good. Usually when washing, the water temperature is 30-35 degrees, which takes several minutes, but not too long. It should not be wrung out after washing, and should be dried in a ventilated and cool place. Don't expose yourself to the sun to avoid fading. ....
Therefore, it is suggested to use acidic detergent (such as soap) to neutralize it. It would be better to use pure cotton detergent. In addition, clothes in summer must be washed and changed frequently (usually once every three days) so that sweat will not stay on clothes for too long.
Most cotton T-shirts are single-necked and thin. Avoid using a brush or rubbing hard when washing. When you are in the sun, put your coat and collar in order. Avoid highlighting. Don't rub the neckline horizontally. Don't wring it out and hang it directly after washing. Don't expose yourself to the sun or dry at high temperature.
Third, a few tips for clothing maintenance
I want to wear different clothes every day, but there is always one missing in the closet. When there are more and more clothes in the closet, it is still very tiring to maintain them. In order to make it easier for you to take care of your beloved clothes, we make all the maintenance tips public at once. As long as you do nothing, you can keep your precious clothes in the best condition anytime and anywhere.
The first move is to deal with stubborn pulling.
Clothes bought back, or clothes left for a long time, are always difficult to pull. Especially when you get up in the morning, you are in a hurry to pick it up and wear it. It is even more worrying if it is not smooth. At this time, try rubbing the pencil back and forth at the drawing place, so that the unsatisfactory drawing situation should be greatly improved. This is because pencil lead can produce lubrication at the bite of the zipper. If the clothes are white or light-colored, candles can be used instead of pencils, which will also have a very good effect.
The second trick is the quick-drying cheats of heavy clothes.
Jeans or thick cotton trousers do not dry easily after washing. Therefore, when drying, you can use a circular hanger to keep your pants in the state when you put them on, and untie all the zippers and buttons. In addition, it is best to turn the trousers upside down, which not only makes the pockets easier to dry, but also prevents the trouble of sun fading.
The third measure is the unchangeable law of drying clothes.
If you want to dry your clothes early, you should not only put them in a sunny place, but also be ventilated. When hanging clothes, it is best to hang thin clothes outside, with the thickest clothes second, and then hang all thin, thick, short and long clothes alternately, so that the wind can circulate completely and the clothes can be easily dried.
Fourth, jeans are no longer getting whiter and whiter.
Jeans washed more and more lightly have a magic weapon to restore their bright colors. The method is quite simple, that is, wash the new dark jeans with the old jeans. In this way, the color of new jeans can be naturally dyed on old jeans, and of course, old jeans can also restore bright colors.
The fifth trick is the crumbling button.
Just about to go out, I found the buttons on my clothes were crumbling, but I didn't have time to mend them slowly. What should I do? At this time, you can try the following coup. When the stitching of the button has been loosened, you can apply a layer of transparent nail polish on the stitching first, so you don't have to worry about the button falling when you go out. If you want to mend it in the future, just dip it in some water. In addition, if it is a button with a button foot, it can be fixed with a small pin inside the clothes as shown in the figure.
The sixth measure is to eliminate the unpleasant smell of smoke and barbecue on clothes.
After enjoying delicious food, I always feel quite troubled by the smell left on my clothes. Just hang the clothes in the bathroom for 2~3 hours after taking a shower while there is steam, and then take them out to dry. Because when the moisture in the clothes evaporates, the smell will also evaporate. So if you are in a hurry to wear it, steaming it with the iron can achieve the same effect.
The seventh trick is a good helper for ironing shirts-bath towels.
There are certain procedures for ironing shirts. Start with the collar, then the cuffs → clothes? → back body → body. If the basic coat is ironed according to this procedure, the shirt should be quite flat. But the collar, cuffs and crotch cloth are the most difficult parts to iron. At this time, the bath towel came in handy. As long as the bath towel is folded and placed under the cuff or neckline, it can not only be ironed into a very three-dimensional shape, but also won't be ironed into messy creases.
The eighth trick is that all the stains on the clothes will disappear.
When you accidentally get the sauce, it is most important to deal with it immediately. When you get soy sauce and black tea, you should immediately use toilet paper to absorb water, and never wipe it. Next, I will wait until I get home to deal with it. The basic treatment method is to put a cloth on the stained place first, then tie 5~6 cotton swabs together, dip them in water and remove oil stains, and gently brush the stains on the clothes onto the cloth below. If it cannot be completely removed, try to use neutral detergent, and finally remember to wipe it with water.
The ninth trick is to use a wet towel to eliminate sweat stains on clothes.
Although it is only a little sweat stain on the clothes, it takes a lot of time to clean them every time. Excessive cleaning will hurt the fabric, so just pat the place with sweat stains and neckline with a wet towel, transfer the dirt to the towel, and then blow dry.
How to store the clothes after dry cleaning?
Clothes brought back after washing will be covered with a transparent plastic bag, and many people will think that it is just dust-proof and put it directly in the closet. But usually after dry cleaning, there will still be moisture and some chemical gases left on it. It's best to hang it in a ventilated place for a while and then put it away, so as to keep the clothes intact.
Fourth, different fabrics and colors have different drying skills.
The principle of clothes drying is to adopt different drying methods according to different fabrics and colors, so that clothes can not be deformed or faded.
Silk fabric clothing:
After washing, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally, preferably with the reverse side facing outwards. Because of the poor sun resistance of silk clothing, it can't be directly exposed to the sun, otherwise it will cause the fabric to fade and its strength to decline. Pay special attention to this point for dark or bright clothes. In addition, it is forbidden to bake silk garments with fire.
Clothing made of pure cotton, cotton and linen fabrics;
Generally, this kind of clothing can be spread directly, because the strength of this fiber hardly drops or slightly drops in the sun, but it will not be deformed. However, in order to avoid fading, it is best to turn the reverse side outward.
Chemical fiber fabric clothes:
Chemical fiber clothes should not be exposed to the sun after washing. Because acrylic fiber is easy to change color and turn yellow after exposure; Nylon, polypropylene fiber and man-made fiber are easy to age in the sun; Polyester and vinylon will accelerate the photochemical cracking of fibers under the action of sunlight, which will affect the life of fabrics. Therefore, chemical fiber clothes had better be dried in the shade.
Wool fabric clothing:
After washing, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally, with the reverse side facing outwards. Because the surface of wool fiber is a scale layer, the natural oleoamine film outside it gives wool fiber a soft luster. If exposed to the sun, the oil amine film on the surface will deteriorate due to high temperature oxidation, which will seriously affect its appearance and service life.
Knitted fabrics such as sweaters and sweaters:
In order to prevent this kind of clothes from deforming, you can put them in a net bag after washing and hang them in a ventilated place to dry; Or hang it with two hangers when drying to avoid hanging too much deformation; You can also string bamboo poles or plastic pipes to dry; If possible, you can lay it flat on other objects to dry. In short, avoid exposure or baking.
Five, pure wool poetry clothing washing and maintenance methods

Don't twist it by hand.
Don't expose yourself to the sun.
......
Pure wool fabric shrinks when it meets water.
Be sure to strengthen ironing after drying in the shade.
You can wear it after ironing.
Which clothes are suitable for dry cleaning?
Generally speaking, suits, ties, sweaters, cashmere coats, duvets, down jackets, blankets, leather coats, leather gloves, suede coats, fur coats, fur collars, wool skins, etc. There are also suits that office workers often wear, which need dry cleaning. If possible, they can be sent to a dry cleaner specializing in sterilization.
Work clothes in the engineering industry are heavily oiled and are generally made of cotton fabrics. In order to avoid the shrinkage problem of ordinary washing, dry cleaning should also be adopted.
There is also a serious shrinkage of linen fabric, and clothes that are easy to fade need dry cleaning. Expensive and elegant woolen clothes are mainly dry-cleaned. Washing is easy to destroy the texture and wool feeling of the fabric, and may also cause the style to go out of shape or pan-color. If cleaning is really necessary, it is best to control the temperature of the washing liquid at about 40 degrees Celsius. Polyester, nylon, acrylic fiber, vinylon, chlorine fiber, polypropylene fiber and other chemical fiber fabrics usually have good physical and mechanical properties, so they can be washed by washing machine.
Corduroy clothes can be washed with water, but they can't be knocked with washboards and sticks, and they can't be brushed with hard brushes.
Seven, tips to avoid white clothes pollution
If you like to wear white clothes, you'd better know some tips on how to avoid white pollution.
First of all, what fabric do you need to know: cotton, polyester or blended fabric? Today's white is not as white as your grandmother's. In my grandmother's time, only cotton or linen, sheets, bath towels or tea towels were white. If they are dirty or yellow, they can be bleached. Today, you need to read the notes on the label first.
Today, the fabrics of many white clothes look brighter and whiter. If you bleach them with chlorine or irradiate them with sunlight, these fabrics will be damaged.
Stains on man-made fibers are easier to remove. When washing clothes, the easiest and best way to avoid pollution is to wash white clothes together. Don't mix white clothes with other colors to wash. Clothes of other colors always fade slightly. This is very important for any fabric clothing (cotton or chemical fiber).
When you encounter pollution, try to clean it as early as possible, but it may take several times to remove the stain. The dry cleaners will tell you that if you spill something on your clothes and start cleaning it immediately, you can only wash it off with water (most of the time).
Cleaning with water is the first step, which can remove about 80% pollution. If it is oil, lipstick or salad dressing, the situation is different.
If it is oily, be sure to use some mild soap (shampoo, hand sanitizer or detergent). If you don't have these things at hand, you can find a pack of artificial sweeteners. You need to pat the sweetener on the stain and wait for a while. Sweeteners will absorb most of the oil stains. Starch can also be made.
Speaking of sugar pollution, any drink contains sugar, whether it is coffee, iced tea or soda water. Sugar comes out late, and the stains you think are guaranteed to be cleaned will have shadows behind them. You must wash it well. Sugar pollution is like macular, left over.
Coated clothes can protect the fabric, and special attention should be paid to cuffs and collars. Sweat salinization forms a yellow circle under the armpit, and antiperspirants often contain aluminum compounds. When washing clothes, detergent solution is directly used in these parts.
Give some tips and bring some wet wipes with you. They contain alcohol and water. Alcohol can remove ink pollution and lipstick. Take a small bottle of mild detergent with you, or buy a "decontamination stick" in the market to deal with some pollution. Some decontamination rods contain dry cleaning ingredients.
Eight, how to wash underwear to ensure no deformation?
Washing underwear is learned. Good underwear is best washed by hand, especially underwear with steel wire or rims. Never use the washing machine to wash or dehydrate, which will seriously deform the underwear and damage the material.
The correct way is to pat or scratch underwear soaked with detergent. In addition, after washing, most people will directly take it to dry or dry it, which is actually incorrect. Because this will also deform the underwear, you can use a dry towel to fully absorb the water on the underwear and then dry it.
Then there is the problem of how to arrange and fold underwear. Random placement will deform underwear, so when folding, seamless underwear can fold one cup into another, and then put the shoulder strap back into the lining. If it's a steel bra, spread it flat, and the underwear can be rolled into a round strip, which is very easy to clean and saves space.
As for some girls who like to wear sports bra, they can wash them in the washing machine, but they should avoid drying them with the dryer.
Nine, cotton towel care and maintenance considerations
1, according to the label care.
2. Choose a mild detergent.
Avoid pouring detergent directly on the towel, or the residual liquid of detergent will change the color of the towel. Use chlorine bleach as little as possible.
3. Avoid overheating when washing.
Wash dark towels and light towels separately. Do not wash towels with clothes containing zippers, hooks or buttons, so as not to damage the towel ring. Don't wash towels and clothes together. Towel cloth will wrap clothes with light and soft fabrics, and fine cotton wool falling off the towel will stick to the clothes, which will affect the beauty of the clothes.
4. Don't use softener frequently.
After the fabric softener containing silicone resin is used, a layer of silicone oil will remain, which will affect the water absorption of towels. It is recommended to avoid using.
The washed towel is completely spread out on the clothesline.
Vertical drying, it is best to dry first and then expose to the sun for ten minutes, so that the dried towel is soft and bactericidal. It can also be rolled up and dried in the dryer to make the cotton towel more fluffy and soft, but not for too long.
6. Towels are dry and wet.
Whether it is dry cleaning or wet cleaning, the oil, sweat, inorganic salts and dust in the air on the towel will be wiped clean. Over time, the towel will harden, reduce the moisture absorption function, and be contaminated by bacteria and mold. Therefore, the towel after wiping should be washed immediately with soap or detergent, then washed away with warm water, and dried before use. Timely care and easy washing can keep the towel fluffy, soft and clean for a long time.
X. Basic methods and key issues of clothing maintenance
Maintaining and collecting clothes is a common and important thing in people's daily life. It should be arranged reasonably and managed scientifically. Besides keeping clothes, we should keep them clean, dry, moth-proof and shape-keeping.
Clothing made of different materials such as cotton, wool, silk and chemical fiber should be classified and stored. Underwear, coat pants, winter clothes, work clothes and other clothes with different uses should also be classified and stored. Clothes of different colors should also be stored separately, which can not only prevent mutual pollution and cross color, but also facilitate use and management.
1. Decent
A the rooms and cabinets where clothes are collected and stored should be kept clean and free of foreign bodies and dust, so as to prevent foreign bodies and dust from polluting clothes, and should be disinfected regularly.
B, clothes should be cleaned before collection and storage. Clothes after wearing will be polluted by external and human secretions. If these pollutants are not cleaned in time and attached to clothes for a long time, they will slowly penetrate into fabric fibers over time and eventually be difficult to remove. In addition, the pollutants on these clothes will also pollute other clothes.
C, dirt composition on clothes is extremely complicated. Among them, some substances with strong chemical activity will slowly react with fabric fibers and dyes at appropriate temperature and humidity, which will make the polluted parts of clothes deteriorate, harden or change color, which will not only affect their appearance, but also reduce the fastness of fabrics, thus losing the wearing value of clothes. If the dirt on leather clothes is not cleaned in time, it will make the leather board hard and lose its elasticity over time, making it difficult to wear.
In short, in order to avoid the above adverse consequences, clothes should be washed before collection and storage.
Step 2 keep it dry
A, keep dry is to improve the relative dryness of clothes to be collected. As mentioned in the previous section, under proper temperature and humidity, the organic matter in the dirt will be rancid and moldy. Clothing itself is an organic matter. The chemical components of cotton, wool, silk and hemp are not only chemical fibers, but also glucose polymerization physics and protein.
B, because the clothes are covered with mold, when the natural fiber fabric is affected by moisture for a long time, it will also be rancid and moldy, making the fabric moldy, smelly, discolored or stained. In the case of dirt, the performance is more prominent. In order to prevent the above phenomenon, it is necessary to keep clothes relatively dry when storing them.
To this end, the following measures can be taken:
(1) Choose a suitable place or location. When collecting and storing clothes, you should choose a ventilated and dry place, avoid places with high humidity and volatile gases, try to reduce the air humidity and prevent the odor gas from polluting clothes.
(2) Clothes should be dried before storage, and clothes that are not completely dried should not be stored, which will not only affect the storage effect of clothes, but also reduce the dryness of the whole storage space of clothes.
(3) Clothing should be properly ventilated and aired during collection and storage. Especially in rainy and humid seasons, it is necessary to ventilate and dry frequently. Air drying can not only dry clothes, but also play a role in sterilization to prevent clothes from getting damp and moldy.
(4) When high-grade clothes are stored in collection room with high humidity, a moistureproof agent can be used to prevent them from being damp and moldy. Make a small bag with clean white gauze and fill it with massive calcium chloride (CaCL2 _ 2). Put the made calcium chloride moisture-proof bag into the wardrobe, and don't touch the clothes, so as to reduce the humidity in the wardrobe and keep it dry. When the calcium chloride in the moisture-proof bag changes from block to powder, it proves that the calcium chloride in the moisture-proof bag has failed and should be replaced in time. Always check the moisture-proof bag.
3. Prevent insects from eating.
A Among all kinds of fiber fabrics and clothing, chemical fiber clothing is not easy to attract insects, while natural fiber fabrics and clothing are easy to attract insects, especially silk and wool fiber fabrics and clothing.
B, the fibers of cotton, wool, silk and hemp clothing fabrics are composed of glucose polymer and protein, which have certain nutrition. Natural fiber is hydrophilic, has strong moisture absorption and moisture regain performance, and can maintain a certain humidity. This creates better breeding conditions for moths, so they are often attracted to eat. Silk wool fabric is made of protein, and protein is more nutritious, so it is easier to attract insects.
C, some organic dirt on clothes will also add nutrition to moths, which will make them more serious. In order to prevent clothes from being eaten by insects, in addition to keeping them clean and dry, some moth-proofing agents or pesticides should be used to prevent them. Although some agricultural pesticides can kill moths, they are harmful to clothes and human body, so they are not used.
D, generally use mothballs as mothproof agents. Camphor tree roots, trunks, branches, leaves and leaf distillation products are made into mothballs. Hygienic mothballs are highly volatile, and their odor can prevent insects from eating them. Mothproof agents, such as mothballs, have certain plasticity. If it is used too much, it will contact the fabric directly for a long time, which will gradually accelerate the aging of the fabric and affect the service life of the clothing. These mothproof agents, especially moth balls, contain a certain amount of impurities, which will cause stains if they come into direct contact with fabrics. In particular, white and light-colored silk fabrics will turn yellow when they contact moth balls, which will affect the appearance. So when using, the mothballs should be wrapped in white paper or light colored gauze, scattered around the cabinet, or hung in a small cloth bag in the closet.
E, it should also be noted that the clothes ironed in the sun should be completely cooled before being put into the wardrobe, so as to avoid the evaporation of moth-proofing agent at high temperature.
F, when using moth-proofing agent, pay attention to its dosage. The dosage of moth-proofing agent is generally as long as it can smell the mothballs in the cupboard where clothes are stored.
Step 4 protect the shape of clothing
Intuitively flat and crisp clothes can give people a strong three-dimensional sense and comfort. Especially now, the requirements for clothing modeling are more important. It can reflect the style and rhythm of clothing and is the soul of modern clothing. Therefore, when collecting and storing clothes, we must protect the shape of clothes to prevent them from deforming or wrinkling.
A for shirts, underwear and knitted garments, they can be stacked horizontally. For outerwear and trousers, hangers and trouser racks with appropriate sizes should be hung.
B, when hanging, straighten clothes to prevent deformation, and keep a certain distance between hangers. Don't pile it together.
