How to prevent the newly bought quilt cover from shrinking?

1. Only proper maintenance and washing can prevent or reduce shrinkage. Mistaken use of hot water washing will cause multiple shrinkage, and incorrect washing method and wrong drying method will cause shrinkage or multiple shrinkage. All proper cleaning and maintenance is the best way to reduce or prevent shrinkage.

2. Pay attention to the label on the package. At present, many ready-made quilt covers are pre-shrunk. Generally speaking, the shrinkage rate is relatively low, because the fabric is treated by a high-temperature preshrinking machine before cutting and sewing, which is equivalent to "preshrinking", so the shape of the fabric itself can be well maintained. In addition, before buying a product, you can look at the label of the product. In addition to observing the texture, you can also look at the care label, such as whether it can be washed by machine or warm water to avoid shrinkage caused by improper care.

3. The main points of washing quilt cover. For the quilt cover without shrink-proof water treatment, appropriate methods can be adopted in washing to effectively reduce and reduce the shrinkage of the product. You can soak it in light salt water for about half an hour before washing, and then clean it. When washing, the water temperature should be controlled below 35℃, and it is not advisable to soak in detergent for a long time. If possible, you can add some clothes softener, which will not cause obvious shrinkage.

4. Key points of quilt drying. The drying process of quilt cover also has a great influence on the shrinkage rate of quilt cover, so don't ignore this last step. In order to avoid excessive shrinkage, it is necessary to stretch properly when drying. If it's hand-washed, don't wring it out completely after washing. Leave some water for clothes to dry under the action of gravity, so it won't shrink so easily. At the same time, you can also pull up the quilt cover by ironing, and then shape it with an iron, so that the quilt cover can be pulled up again, thus restoring to its original size and solving the problem of shrinkage.
