Washing women's sweaters requires scientific handling based on their material. Incorrect methods can easily lead to shrinkage, deformation, or pilling. Here is a comprehensive and authoritative washing guide:
Check the Label Before Washing
The washing instructions for each sweater should be based on the care label. If the label is missing, you can determine the washing method by the material.
Washing Plans by Material
Wool/Cashmere Sweaters (Delicate Type)
Water Temperature: Cold water below 30℃ or lukewarm water
Detergent: Use a neutral or special wool/cashmere detergent. Avoid alkaline laundry powder.
Washing Method: Hand washing is best. Gently press and rub; do not rub or wring.
Short soaking (5-10 minutes) is acceptable, focusing on cleaning the collar and cuffs.
Spinning and Drying: Roll up a dry towel to absorb water. Do not machine spin or wring dry. Lay flat to dry in a well-ventilated, shady place. Avoid direct sunlight and hanging on hangers to prevent shoulder deformation.
