What are the common washing methods? Let's follow the editor of the functional denim fabric manufacturer to learn more.

1. Regular washing refers to regular washing.

It's just a matter of changing the familiar washing method to mechanization. The water temperature is around 60-90C, and a certain amount of detergent is added. After about 15 minutes of regular washing, a softener can be added to clear water to make the fabric softer, more comfortable, and visually more natural and clean. Usually, according to the length of washing time and the amount of chemicals used, general washing can be divided into light general washing, general washing, and heavy general washing.

2. STONE WASH.

Stone washing refers to adding a certain size of pumice to the washing water to polish the pumice with the clothes. The water level in the polishing tank is carried out at a low level where the clothes are completely soaked, so that the pumice can come into good contact with the clothes. General washing or rinsing can be carried out before grinding, and rinsing can also be carried out after grinding.

3. ENZYME WASH.

Enzymes are a type of cellulase that can degrade the fiber structure at a certain pH value and temperature, allowing the fabric to fade gently, shed hair (producing a "peach peel" effect), and achieve a long-lasting softening effect.

4. SAND WASH.

Sand washing often uses alkaline and oxidizing additives to give clothes a certain fading effect and a sense of obsolescence after washing. If combined with stone grinding, a soft layer of frost white fluff will be produced on the surface of the washed fabric. Adding some softeners can make the washed fabric soft and soft, thereby improving wearing comfort.

5. CHEMICAL WASH.

Chemical washing mainly uses strong alkaline additives (NaOH, NaSiO3, etc.) to achieve the purpose of fading. After washing, clothes have a significant sense of aging. Adding softeners will give clothes a soft and plump effect.

6. Bleach WASH.

To give clothing a clean or bright appearance and a soft feel, it is necessary to rinse the clothing, that is, after regular washing with clean water, heat it up to 60 ° C; C. According to the depth of the bleaching color, add an appropriate amount of bleaching agent to make the color consistent with the board within 7-10 minutes.

7. DESTROY WASH.

After being polished with pumice stones and treated with additives, ready-made clothes may experience some degree of damage in certain areas (such as bones, collar corners, etc.), resulting in a noticeable residual effect after washing.

8. Snow wash.

Soak the dry pumice in potassium permanganate solution, and then polish it directly with the clothes in a dedicated rotary cylinder. Polish the pumice on the clothes to oxidize the friction points by potassium permanganate, causing the cloth surface to fade irregularly, forming white spots similar to snowflakes.

9. MOUSTACHE EFFECT.

It's WHISKER, but WHISKER's statement is more professional. Cat whiskers are a type of hand rub, which is simply ground into the shape of cat whiskers.

10. Sand blasting, also known as SPRAY STONE WASH/SAND BLAST.

It is polished on the fabric using specialized equipment (visually speaking, it is a large electric toothbrush, just a drum type), usually paired with an inflatable model.

11. MONKEY WASH.

The essential difference between sandblasting and sandblasting is that the former is a chemical process, while the latter is a physical process. Spraying monkeys is the process of using a spray gun to spray potassium permanganate solution onto clothing according to design requirements, which undergoes a chemical reaction that causes the fabric to fade. Use the concentration and spray amount of potassium permanganate to control the degree of fading.

12. Pigment wash/Pigment dried wash.

Also known as "single sided coating/paint dyeing", it means that this washing method is specifically designed for clothing dyed with paint, and its function is to consolidate the original bright color and increase the softness of the hand feel.

13. ENZYME WASH.

Enzymes are a type of cellulase that can degrade the fiber structure at a certain pH value and temperature, allowing the fabric to fade gently, shed hair (producing a "peach peel" effect), and achieve a long-lasting softening effect.
