How to wash viscose so that the thing does not sit down?

Do viscose sit after washing?Popular and moody viscose. We erase correctly! Viscose has been known for its virtues since the century before last. Durable flowing fabric has the most “natural” basis compared to other artificial products: wood pulp and pressed plants. By changing the thickness or nature of the fibers, a person learned to make fabrics similar to linen, cotton, and wool from “artificial silk”.

If the composition contains a high percentage of viscose, then this is an excellent purchase with the following advantages:

  1. Strong durable fabric, pleasant to the touch and intense in color;
  2. It absorbs moisture and allows air to pass through;
  3. It has good sweat resistance and is not electrified.

Due to the smoothness of the fabric, viscose is not contaminated for quite a long time. Such a product is easy to wash without losing shape and color. But if you do not take into account the peculiarities of viscose care, new bright clothes after the first wash turn into unnecessary shapeless rags.

Does a viscose garment sit after washing?

Viscose is a very whimsical lady and requires a very careful attitude. She will not tolerate negligence and carelessness. First of all, you need to study the composition of the fabric on the label, and only after that decide how to wash viscose.

When wet, the fiber loses half its strength and becomes vulnerable.

Possible consequences of a failed wash

  1. If the fabric includes cotton or acrylic, if the products are of poor quality, the product may sit down. When using hot water, deformation cannot be avoided. In the case of adding to the basic composition of wool, with a sharp temperature difference, clothing can significantly decrease. Mom’s “washed” sweater can be safely given to her daughter, while children's clothes will become like doll clothes.
  2. If the product is steamed during ironing, the centrifuge is used during spinning, drying is not organized properly, the fabric will stretch. Often such a process is irreversible.
  3. If there is a large percentage of polyester after several washes, spools may form.
  4. If the composition of the product is 100% viscose, such clothing is least susceptible to deformation both during washing and during wear. It is not in vain that manufacturers add viscose to the fabric for added strength and shine.

We pass to recommendations!

How to wash viscose? Step-by-step recommendations for hand and machine wash

  1. Carefully read the product care recommendations on the clothing label. They are the most reliable advisers. Perhaps you only need dry cleaning and do not take risks at home?
  2. Be sure to separate the light fabrics from the colored ones. Ideally, viscose does not fade, but when washing it is better to use special detergents for bright or white products separately.
  3. The most reliable type of cleaning is dry. Before washing, thoroughly wipe the product with a dry soft brush, eliminating dust and possible contaminants.
  4. The best option is hand wash. In barely warm water, powder is added for delicate or delicate fabrics. Soaking for half an hour - and you can start washing. Viscose will not tolerate rough treatment. It can not be twisted, wrinkled, intensively rubbed. Wash with light massaging movements, and remove moisture by shaking. When choosing detergents, it is worth examining their composition. If it contains a concentrated solution of alkali, such washing is destructive to viscose.
  5. Pay attention to the washing conditions for viscose in white. Such a fabric is notable for the fact that it does not fade, which means that bleaching is not required. But exposure to bright sunlight can cause stains. In this case, bleach with sodium hypochloride must be used.However, hydrogen peroxide is also suitable.
  6. It is best to use a laundry bag during machine wash. The modes used are “delicate” or “for silk” without the spin function. It is best to wash with similar fabrics, puffs may appear due to rude things. Water temperature should not exceed 30 degrees.
