Double Weave Corduroy Fabric does have some special requirements for cleaning and maintenance due to its unique weaving process and fiber structure. Proper care can extend the life of the fabric and maintain its appearance and texture. Here are some suggestions for cleaning and maintaining Double Weave Corduroy Fabric:
Cleaning Method:
Gentle Hand Wash or Machine Wash:
Double Weave Corduroy is generally recommended to use a gentle cleaning method. If machine washing, choose the "gentle" or "hand wash" mode and avoid strong spin washing. If hand washing, use warm water (no more than 30°C) to avoid fiber damage caused by high temperature.
Use neutral detergent:
In order to protect the texture and color of the fabric, it is recommended to use a mild and neutral detergent suitable for sensitive fabrics. Avoid using laundry detergent containing bleaching ingredients to prevent fading or damage to the fabric.
Avoid excessive friction:
Avoid washing the fabric with other rough or hard objects when washing to reduce friction. Double Weave Corduroy fabric can be placed in a laundry bag to reduce friction and damage to the fabric texture.
Avoid dry cleaning:
Although some high-end fabrics can usually be kept in good shape by dry cleaning, double-sided corduroy is not suitable for frequent dry cleaning. The chemicals in the dry cleaning process may affect the texture and color of the fabric. Unless otherwise specified, try to avoid dry cleaning.
Drying method:
Natural drying:
After washing, it is recommended to lay the double-sided corduroy fabric flat to dry and avoid direct exposure to sunlight to prevent the fabric from fading or deforming. The ultraviolet rays in the sun will accelerate the fading of colors and damage the fibers of the fabric.
Avoid high-temperature drying:
It is not recommended to use a high-temperature dryer to dry double-sided corduroy fabric. High temperatures will cause the fabric to shrink, deform or fade, and may even affect the structure of the fabric. If you must use a dryer, it is recommended to choose low temperature or cold air mode, and it is best to put the fabric in a drying bag.
Avoid hanging:
To prevent the fabric from deforming, especially when using double-sided woven fabrics, avoid hanging it on a hanger to dry. Hanging for a long time may cause the fabric to deform or stretch, especially when it is wet.
Ironing and repair:
Ironing at low temperature:
Double-sided corduroy fabrics require low-temperature ironing. It is best to use the "low temperature" setting and use cloth or steam when ironing to avoid direct contact with the hot iron. High temperatures can easily damage the texture of corduroy, causing the surface of the fabric to become shiny or deformed.
Ironing on the reverse side:
To protect the delicate texture of the fabric surface, ironing should be done on the reverse side of the fabric as much as possible. You can turn the fabric over to avoid directly ironing the surface of the corduroy and reduce damage to its texture.
Using steam:
If the fabric has slight wrinkles, it can be restored by steam ironing. Steam can effectively remove wrinkles while protecting the structure and appearance of the fabric.
Storage advice:
Avoid humid environments:
When storing double-sided corduroy, make sure the storage environment is dry and avoid humid places, as humid environments may cause the fabric to mold or develop odors. It is best to keep it in a well-ventilated place.
Avoid heavy pressure:
Avoid heavy pressure when storing, especially when stacking too many clothes in the wardrobe. Excessive pressure may cause the structure of the double-sided corduroy fabric to deform, affecting its texture and comfort.
Hanging with hangers:
If you want to hang and store double-sided corduroy clothing, it is recommended to use wide-shoulder hangers to maintain the shape of the clothing. Avoid using small hangers, which can easily cause the fabric to deform under pressure.
The above care methods can effectively extend the service life of double-sided corduroy fabrics and maintain their original elegance and beauty.
