Why is your Tencel easy to pilling and shrinking? It turned out to be wrong!

Tencel has many advantages, and it is definitely a good choice in the summer. However, during the cleaning process, we found that many people pay little attention to the method, which causes the problems of celestial pilling, fluffing, running, shrinking, wrinkling and so on. So how should Tiansi be cleaned?

1. Tencel machine wash, easy to pilling

The machine wash will cause the Tencel to be separated from the surface by repeated external force friction, which will form an effect similar to the peach skin, which is what we usually call the raising. Therefore, when cleaning the Tencel, hand washing is better. Hand washing is not convenient, you can also step on your feet.

2. Tencel soaked, easy to pilling

When cleaning the Tencel, do not soak or wash for too long, because the Tencel fiber has good moisture absorption performance, soaking for a long time, the movement between the fibers in the water increases, the friction coefficient increases, and it is easy to cause serious fibril tendency. Tencel is easy to pilling.

3. Tencel dry, easy to pilling

After the wire is cleaned, if twisting, machine drying, etc. are used, the fiber is very rigid due to the rigidity of the Tencel, and the yarn is easily dissipated, resulting in easy hairiness. The result is the raising and pilling of the fabric. The best way is to dry with water as well.

4. Tencel exposure, easy to shrink and fade

Because Tencel is hygroscopic and dyed well, it cannot be dried or exposed to high temperature; otherwise it will easily cause the quilt to shrink and fade. So after washing, squeeze the water out and then dry it in a relatively ventilated and dry place. In fact, all fabrics are not suitable for exposure.

Summarizing these points, many people have previously reported that the problem of pilling the Tencel fabric is actually caused by not paying attention to these problems.
