Maintenance of acetate tow mainly includes the following aspects:
Washing method:
Water temperature control: Acetate tow should be hand washed with warm water below 40°C. Avoid using overheated water to prevent stains from fixing on the fiber or affecting the color.
Detergent selection: It is recommended to use neutral or silk-specific detergents. Avoid using acidic detergents to prevent fiber damage.
Gentle treatment: During the washing process, rub gently and avoid rubbing hard and contact with rough objects to prevent snagging or pilling.
Cold water rinse: After washing, rinse thoroughly with cold water to keep the tow fresh.
Sunning and ironing:
Drying method: After washing, press gently to remove moisture, then lay flat or hang in half to dry in the shade, avoid exposure to the sun to prevent fiber damage.
Low temperature ironing: The temperature should not exceed 110℃ during ironing. It is best to use steam ironing with a cloth to keep the yarn flat. Storage and insect and moisture proof: Storage environment: Store the yarn in a breathable bag. You can put mothballs to prevent insects and moisture. Avoid moisture: Avoid humid environments during storage to prevent the yarn from getting damp and moldy. The above maintenance measures can effectively extend the service life of acetate yarn and maintain its good appearance and performance.
