Clothing maintenance 3 --Ironing Articles

To enable the use of performance apparel to full play, usually to do maintenance work clothing, first of all should be aware of clothing storage and maintenance of knowledge, dirt type, decontamination methods, washing procedures, clothes ironing.

     After washing clothes because of fabric for wearing not the best value, will have varying degrees of wrinkles, for the garment flat pretty, beautiful, must be ironing (that is, sorting and ironing), so is the role of ironing make clothes flat, crisp, clear line, fit to the rich three-dimensional. It is taken not to damage the performance of clothing and style under the premise of clothing in a certain period of time, to impose appropriate temperature, humidity (water) and pressure conditions, so that changes in fiber structure, occurrence of thermoplastic deformation. Therefore, the basic technical conditions ironing temperature, humidity and pressure.

1．Temperature

       Form various types of clothing fabrics have fiber thermoplastic, apparel and thermoplastic thermoplastic shape variability of the temperature effect must be achieved. The higher the temperature, the better shape, but a variety of clothing materials, ironing temperature should be below the danger temperature (decomposition temperature and melting point), so as not to damage the appearance and performance clothing. Constitute the various fiber cloth because of their different thermal properties, can withstand temperatures are different (see below for description of various fabrics ironing temperature, for reference).

2．Humidity

   Cloth with water, the fiber will be wetting, expansion, extension, when clothes easy to deform and shape,but the humidity should be controlled in a certain range, too small is not conducive to garment shape. The different effects of different fiber of its moisture, should be reasonable control.

3.   Manner

       Dry and wet hot points. Dry iron is a direct iron, mainly used in case of wet easily the watermark (Tussah silk) or event occurs heat shrinkage (PVA fabric) clothing, and cotton, chemical fiber, silk, linen and other thin cloth clothing. Sometimes thick overcoating material for clothing and sweaters clothing, hot wet first, and then repeating the mistake of ironing, it will give the service level and keeps all parts of clothing, can not afford to shell, no lifting; to maintain a level quite a long garment.

4．Pressure　

       Ironing pressure to help overcome some of the molecules, the resistance between fiber yarn to make cloth deformation in accordance with the requirements of the people or stereotypes. As the pressure increases, the flatness of clothing, tuck retention have increased; as pressure increases, yarn and fabric are flattened, thinner fabrics, contrast gloss increases. Excessive pressure will cause the Aurora costume. Ironing pressure clothing materials and clothing should be with the shape, folding tuck so request. For trousers line, crease and fold pleating skirts clothing sizing, pressure should be bigger. Corduroy fabrics for raising the pressure to small or iron negative. Application of the plush and other fabrics are not suitable steam iron, so as not to produce the aurora plush lodging or affecting the quality.

    Ironing is a physical sport, to achieve the desired quality requirements, it must by temperature, humidity, pressure and time parameters closely.
