In everyday life, darker or brightly colored clothes will inevitably have a problem, that is the color! Even if the color is faded every time, or is reluctant to discard it, the heart will always whisper:
Is wearing faded clothes harmful to the body?
What kind of clothes tend to fade?
Discoloration occurs when clothes are washed, and discoloration occurs regularly:
No.1
Light-colored clothes are more environmentally friendly than dark ones and have less chance of being contaminated during production. Therefore, the color is relatively strong, and the bright colors of textiles are easy to fade. That is to say, black, dark, bright red, bright green, bright blue, purple, and so on are easy to fade; And those light and some of the darker colors of textiles are not easy to fade.
No.2
Textiles made of natural fibers fade more easily than those made of chemical fibers, especially synthetic fibers. That is, cotton, hemp, silk, and wool textiles than nylon, polyester, acrylic, and so on easy to fade. Silk and cotton fabrics are particularly prone to fading.
No.3
Loose textiles are easier to fade than dense textiles, such as coarse yarn, and loose structure; Textiles are relatively heavy and easy to fade, such as wool, medium wool thread, heavy silk, and so on. Textiles with fine yarns and tight weaves do not fade easily.
How to avoid the damage of faded clothes?
Volatile substances may enter the body through the respiratory tract and cause harm, but it takes a certain amount to affect health. Because the harm caused by "poison clothing" is usually not obvious in the short term, people tend to ignore the long-term effects of harmful substances in clothing on the human body.
Newly purchased clothing, especially for babies and toddlers, should be washed before wearing. Do not buy smelly textiles, because there is a moldy taste, the smell of kerosene, fish smell, benzene smell, and other peculiar smells of clothing, most of the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard. And close clothing to avoid red, black, and other color fastnesses easy not to comply with the regulations of the product, such as fading phenomenon can not be worn close to the body.
Also, it's best to buy clothes without lining, because lining requires glue. If you experience symptoms such as itchy skin, upset mood, or poor diet after wearing new clothes, go to the hospital as soon as possible.
How to deal with the fading of newly bought clothes?
In our life, we often encounter the problem of fading clothes. How should we solve it?
① Need: table salt, basin, warm water. Prepare a basin of warm water, add an appropriate amount of salt, the water temperature is best at about 50℃, the ratio of salt and water is about 1:500, and then put the newly bought clothes in.
② Let the clothes sit in the salt water for three hours. Make sure you do not stir the water during this process. Make sure it is standing. Put the finished clothes in clean water, add the proper amount of detergent, and rub until clean.
③ Rub clean clothes, rinse with water several times, until the water no longer shows the original color of the clothes, wring the clothes, the front turn in, the inside of the clothes exposed to the outside, and then put it outdoors to air, pay attention to do not sun exposure.
The color will fade after many washes. Such clothes will do harm to the human body. Serious loss of color in clothing will lead to pigment often infected with the skin in a large area, which is easy to cause contact dermatitis.
Is the color fixing agent good or not?
Color fixing agent is one of the important auxiliaries in the printing and dyeing industry. It can improve the color fastness to wet treatment of the fabric. It can form insoluble colored matter with dye on the fabric and improve color washing, perspiration fastness, and sometimes improve sun fastness.
But it is only limited to the use of formaldehyde-free color fixing agent, which requires that raw materials containing formaldehyde are not used in the production, formaldehyde can not be produced in the production process and color fixing process, and the dyed fabric after color fixing treatment will not release formaldehyde.
This is one of the most common ways to use it in everyday life, especially for jeans and colorful clothing. Salt has the effect of fixing color, so before the first wash, remember to soak easily faded clothes in salt water for half an hour or so, then rinse clean, then continue with the regular washing process, this can effectively reduce the color loss.
If the clothes still have a slight fading phenomenon, you can soak them in light salt water for ten minutes before each cleaning, and then wash them, so that after several times, they will not fade again.
