Different kinds of stain removers have different reactions on different
kinds of
fabrics. Don’t you ever forget that these
fabrics
have different sources and therefore different chemical compositions.
It is this chemical position in these various
fabrics that
determine how they react to stains. It is this same chemical composition
of each of the
fabrics that determine how these stains
can be removed. This point is one the things that makes reading the label
tag of
fabrics very important, since it will give you
first hand information on various ways of handling these materials.
In the case of Lyocell
fabric, it can considerably be
weakened by the addition of excess and concentrated bleach. Don’t let
us forget that bleach contain a high level of chlorine and chlorine always
have a very negative effect on Lyocell, therefore any such attempt to
add bleach to the lyocell fabric should be avoided since the outcome will
be fatal for the
fabric.
If bleach is to be used at all, probably for the purpose of stain removal
or for whitening, then the bleach should be well diluted. Diluted bleach
contains more water and this will go a long way in reducing the power
of the bleach since the concentration of chlorine in it will not be as
high as it was at the concentrated level.
To make it all the more clear about the tender nature of the
lyocell
fabric it should never be washed too often with bleach solution
(even at diluted condition). Excessive washing with diluted bleach will
end up weakening the fabric of the
Lyocell fabric. This
weakness will lead to the wearing out of the
fabric which
is often followed by the ripping off of the lyocell
fabric.
Those who possess
Lyocell fabrics and will want to iron
it will have to be wary of the fact that extremely high temperature should
never be used in ironing
Lyocell fabrics as this tend
to cause scorching on the fabric. This scorching or yellowing is an indication
that the lyocell fabric is about burning, burning will cause a completely
irreversible damage to your Lyocell fabric, which will lead to your hard
earned money going down the drain.
The best kind of temperature to be used in ironing Lyocell
fabric
is just a mild temperature. This is enough in putting lyocell
fabric
back in shape and giving it the rebirth of newness desired.
Funny enough some pressing iron has a way of adding to the dirt and stains
on your
fabrics. You then need to check the base of your
pressing iron more often than not so as to be sure that you are not doing
more damage to your lyocell fabric than good.
Keep the advice above and you will save yourself some money.
