We've all been in this situation where we buy clothes that fit perfectly, and when we wash them, they get shorter and we don't fit anymore. This situation is called shrinkage. Clothes smaller is due to the clothing shrinkage, such as cotton mercerized plain cloth and cotton mercerized twill and cotton light plain cloth, ordinary worsted woolen fabric and silk crepe DE chine, we use natural fibers such as cotton woven cloth will produce shrinkage. Because the cloth in the production process, will be subjected to some mechanical stretch, the natural fiber is stretched, after a water kneading, there will be a natural contraction process. Because the processing technological process of different fiber is different, the shrinkage rate of all kinds of cloth also has greatly small. Shrinkage is the smallest synthetic fiber and mixed textiles, followed by wool, linen, cotton textiles in the middle, silk fabrics shrink larger, and the largest is viscose fiber, rayon, artificial wool fabric. Of course, some garment manufacturing plants pre-shrink the fabric by soaking it in water before cutting it. In this way, the seams of a garment can be kept perfectly flat and the size is stable.


Shrinkage rate generally refers to the percentage of fabric shrinkage after the fabric has been soaked and washed. Textile fabric manufacturers introduced, shrinkage and fabric and tissue structure related: 1, natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, hemp moisture absorption is relatively large, so the shrinkage rate is also large; And polypropylene, polyester and other chemical fiber moisture absorption is small, so the shrinkage is small. 2, the fabric structure of the tight, loose will also affect the degree of shrinkage, thin structure of the fabric, generally more compact structure of the shrinkage rate. Do not buy the clothes of pure chemical fiber as far as possible because of the reason of shrinkage rate, still complete cotton follows complete wool now comfortable.


Tips for reducing shrinkage in clothing:


1, wash clothes as little as possible with washing powder or soap, appropriate with some softener.


2. Before washing, soak in light brine for about half an hour, and then rinse with cold water; For clothes that have shrunk, stretch them out on a large piece of cardboard and press them with an iron to restore them to their original shape.
