Bedding fabrics fade, need to pay attention to 5 points

A lot of bedding was faded and oddly shaped. Faded bedding is very harmful to the appearance, so anti-criminal measures must be taken in advance. Many people think that fading is the quality of the bedding itself, but according to years of research, it has a lot to do with improper daily use!

➤Photooxidation
Fabric fading is the oxidation reaction of dyes. When the dyes and finishing agents are hydrolyzed and oxidized due to the action of sunlight and moisture, fading will occur. This situation mainly occurs when the bedding is exposed to the sun, and the bedding is stored in a place with strong sunlight. After a period of time, whitening marks will appear in the sun-exposed areas or creases of the bedding, that is, fading.

➤ Improper washing

Photooxidation takes a period of time to react, ranging from a week to a month. However, some beddings fade immediately after washing and drying. In some cases, there are one piece of yellow printing or whitening. This is mainly due to a problem with the detergent. If there is a problem with the normal fabric quality, the color will fade evenly, not irregularly.
Improper washing, usually using super strong stain removal, super white and other detergents, or adding chlorine-containing disinfectant, 84 bleach and color bleach, as long as the neutral detergent is selected. Another possibility is that the concentrated detergent is directly poured on the bedding fabric for a long time without diluting with water for washing.

➤Temperature and humidity effect

The quilt core and bed sheets have been stored for a period of time. Although they have not been exposed to light, they will turn yellow or have some yellow spots after opening. In this case, you need to consider the environment in which the bedding is stored. If the storage environment is humid and the temperature is high, It may cause the effect of light and heat to make the fabric yellow, so it is the sublimation of the dye that causes the fabric to fade.

➤Long-term lighting

This type of problem is mainly due to the need to pay attention to the maintenance of bedding products during the store display process, and regularly display and change them to avoid yellowing of the bedding products (partial/crease fading) caused by long-term exposure to high-temperature spotlights. About 15 days need to be replaced. Special sensitive color bedding (green, blue, pink, etc.) should be replaced in about a week.

➤Spray disinfection

After the new house is decorated, many people like to spread the bought bedding on the bed, and spray disinfectant or formaldehyde remover in the room. However, everyone needs to pay attention, if it is a chlorine-containing disinfectant, if it is sprayed in the air, it will fall back to the bedding fabric and fade after a period of time, so if the bedding is not in use, please do not lay it on the bed for a long time to avoid fading.
