Tweed fabric is loved by many people for its unique texture and style, but its maintenance requires some special skills. Here are some detailed information on how to maintain tweed fabric:
I. Washing and maintenance
1. Dry cleaning maintenance
- Dry cleaning is the best way to clean tweed fabric. Compared with water washing, dry cleaning is more gentle and less likely to damage the fabric. It is recommended to choose a reputable dry cleaner when washing and avoid using unreliable detergents.
2. Hand washing method
- If the washing label allows hand washing, use a mild detergent, such as wool-specific detergent or mild neutral detergent. Avoid using detergents containing bleach or strong alkalinity, as these may damage the fibers of tweed fabrics. Use cold or warm water, and the water temperature should not be too high. Generally speaking, a water temperature of about 30℃ is more suitable. Too high a water temperature may cause tweed fabrics to shrink, deform or fade. Gently rub the stained area, and be careful not to pull the fabric too hard. If there is a local stain, you can first apply a small amount of detergent to the stain and then rub it gently.
2. Drying and maintenance
1. Avoid exposure
- Tweed fabrics should not be exposed to the sun for a long time, otherwise the fabric will fade and turn yellow easily. When drying, it is recommended to use a clothes drying rack to avoid direct sunlight.
3. Cleaning and maintenance
1. Wool brush cleaning
- Tweed fabrics often have hair balls, which can be easily cleaned with a wool brush. The brush should be of good quality, fine hair, and soft to maximize the protection of clothing fabrics.
4. Storage and maintenance
1. Moisture-proof protection
- If you do not plan to use it for a long time, you can store it in a ventilated and dry place after washing it after the winter.
2. Storage instructions
- During storage, you need to pay attention to insect prevention, moisture prevention and pressure resistance. Fold the clothes naturally and do not hang them on hangers.
5. Other maintenance tips
1. Avoid water stains
- Tweed fabrics do not like water stains, especially ordinary tap water. When washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. Water stains attached to clothes will damage the texture of the fabric.
2. Avoid friction with rough objects
- Be careful to avoid friction with rough fabrics, grass, metal and other objects.
The above are some maintenance tips for tweed fabrics, I hope it will be helpful to you.
