Home textile, apparel, hotel fabric procurement, maintenance and cleaning is the core consideration, 100% polyester microfiber dyed fabrics are favored by global buyers, but many buyers are entangled in the difficulty of maintenance, color fastness and durability after dyeing. In this article, we will answer the questions from the characteristics of the fabric, washing and care methods, to help buyers choose cost-effective, easy to maintain quality fabrics.
Polyester microfiber is made of polyester fiber by special spinning, monofilament fiber is much smaller than ordinary polyester, three-dimensional mesh structure, both soft touch, good water absorption and abrasion resistance, which is the core characteristics of its difference from ordinary polyester. 100% pure spinning without other fiber blending, chemical stability, washing is not easy to shrink, pilling, color loss, stable performance after washing, washing and caring is more convenient.
Polyester fiber microfiber dyed cloth and printed cloth, color woven cloth difference is obvious. Dyed fabrics are dyed as a whole, with high color fastness and resistance to washing, printed fabrics are easy to wear with only the color attached to the surface layer, and woven fabrics are complicated in process and harsh in washing and care. For buyers, the dyed fabric has a high overall price ratio, wide range of applications, and is the core choice for polyester fiber microfiber dyed fabrics, easy-care microfiber fabrics and other purchasing needs.
Polyester fiber microfiber three-dimensional mesh structure, so that the surface of the fabric tight, small pores, stains are difficult to penetrate, only attached to the surface, with water or mild detergent can be easily washed, without the need for laborious rubbing. It is suitable for home textile bedding, children’s clothing, hotel fabrics and other scenarios, which can significantly reduce the difficulty of cleaning and cleaning costs.
Polyester fiber molecular structure and dye combination is very strong, by professional high temperature and high pressure dyeing process, the dye can penetrate the fiber inside, color fastness is far better than ordinary printing fabric. The washing and rubbing color fastness of high quality fabrics can reach level 4 and above, and it is not easy to lose color and stain with repeated washing and care, which can enhance the durability of product appearance and reduce the terminal after-sale problems.
100% polyester microfiber hygroscopicity is very low, water retention is much less than cotton, water can evaporate quickly after cleaning, drying at room temperature for several hours can be dry, far more than cotton drying speed. This feature can save drying time and drying energy consumption, which can improve the efficiency of batch cleaning scenes in hotels, hospitals, etc. and reduce operating costs.
Polyester fiber itself has good elasticity and shape memory, and the ultra-fine fiber structure further improves resilience, which can quickly restore flatness after washing and dehydration, without obvious wrinkles and without additional ironing. This feature can help home textile and apparel manufacturers to save ironing labor costs, and at the same time enhance the end-consumer’s experience.
Anti-shrinkage and no deformation: polyester fiber is extremely stable, 100% pure spinning without other fiber blends, which can avoid the shrinkage problem caused by the different thermal contraction rates of fibers. High-quality fabrics after pre-shrinkage treatment, many high-temperature washing can still maintain the original size and shape, not easy to loose deformation, prolonging the service life, enhance the cost-effectiveness of the product and the end of the word of mouth.
Mastering the correct washing and caring methods can further enhance the service life of 100% polyester microfiber dyed fabrics and maintain their performance and appearance. The following buyer-friendly washing and care checklist is designed for both batch industrial cleaning and daily household cleaning, and is easy to follow to avoid fabric problems caused by improper washing and care.
The fast drying characteristics of the fabric are suitable for a variety of drying methods, you can choose low temperature tumble drying, can also be hung directly in the ventilation place to dry naturally, both ways can quickly let the fabric dry, and will not affect the shape and color of the fabric.
It should be noted that the fabric should not be placed in the hot sun, although polyester fiber is not easy to lose color, but long-term exposure to the sun will make the fabric fiber aging speed up, reduce the toughness of the fabric, shorten the service life, ventilated and cool place to dry is the best choice.
For businesses that clean in bulk, low-temperature drying can realize the rapid turnover of fabrics, improve cleaning efficiency, while protecting the performance of fabrics.
The fabric itself has excellent wrinkle resistance, basically no need to iron after washing, if there is a special leveling needs, you can use low-temperature ironing (temperature control below 110 ° C), and do not directly touch the fabric when ironing, you can put a layer of thin cloth on the surface of the fabric, to prevent ironing the surface of the fabric.
For fabrics purchased in bulk, storage should ensure that the warehouse is ventilated and dry to avoid humid environment leading to moldy fabrics. Store fabrics in rolls and avoid heavy pressure to prevent permanent wrinkles in the fabrics. Different colors, different specifications of the fabrics are stored separately, well marked, easy to access.
Although 100% polyester microfiber dyed fabric itself is easy to wash and care, but the actual cleaning performance and service life, will still be affected by a variety of factors, understanding these factors can help buyers accurately select high-quality fabrics, to avoid quality issues affecting the effect of washing, specific factors are as follows:
Purchasers in the choice of 100% polyester microfiber dyed fabrics, there will always be some common concerns, worried about the use of fabrics and cleaning after all kinds of problems, in fact, most of these problems can be solved by choosing high-quality fabrics or do a good job of the later washing and care to solve the following for the most core issues to give the actual solution.
Polyester microfiber dyed fabric whether pilling, mainly depends on the fabric weaving process and finishing process, high-quality fabric will be pre-shrinkage, abrasion, anti-pilling finishing, and weaving density is high, the fiber is not easy to fall off the ball. The low-quality fabrics are loosely woven, the fibers are easy to break, and easy to pilling after cleaning.
Solution: When purchasing, choose the fabrics that have passed the anti-pilling test, and ask the supplier to provide the test report of pilling level. Avoid strong rubbing and high-speed dehydration when cleaning, choose gentle mode for machine washing, and avoid mixing fabrics and hard clothes to reduce fiber friction and breakage.
Under normal circumstances, high quality polyester microfiber dyed fabrics will not appear obvious color loss and fading problems, if fading occurs, mostly because of poor dyeing process, or washing and care using high temperature water, bleach and other improper ways.
Solution: When purchasing, focus on checking the fabric’s color fastness to washing test report, and give priority to fabrics with level 4 and above. Daily washing and care strictly follow the cold water/warm water cleaning, do not use bleach and alkaline detergent, avoid sun exposure, the first time a new cloth wash the same color separately, can effectively prevent color fading.
Polyester fiber microfiber fabrics in a dry environment, easy to produce static electricity due to friction, static electricity will adsorb dust and hair in the air, which is a common feature of synthetic fibers, not a fabric quality problem.
Solution: Add a small amount of antistatic agent when cleaning to reduce the static electricity generated by the fabric. Daily use, you can use a humidifier to increase the humidity of the environment, reduce static electricity; for home textile fabrics, regular use of sticky hair clean up dust can be, does not affect the normal use.
100% polyester microfiber dyed fabric itself is non-irritating, whether it is suitable for sensitive muscles, mainly depends on the finishing process of the fabric, high-quality fabrics will be formaldehyde-free, non-fluorescent environmentally friendly finishing, the surface of the fabric is delicate and smooth, and will not irritate the skin. The poor quality of the fabric will remain formaldehyde, dyes and other harmful substances, easy to cause skin allergies.
Solution: When purchasing, select the fabrics after environmental testing, require suppliers to provide formaldehyde content, pH value and other test reports to ensure that the fabrics comply with national technical specifications for the safety of textile products. For intimate apparel and home textile bedding, give preference to plain and non-abrasive styles to reduce the friction of fabrics on the skin.
