Men’s short-sleeved shirts are prone to pilling during daily wear and washing, which will not only affect the appearance of the clothing, but also reduce its service life. To avoid pilling, here are some fabric care tips:
1. Choose good quality fabrics: First, choose high-quality fabrics, such as natural fiber materials (such as cotton, silk, wool, etc.) or high-quality synthetic fiber materials (such as nylon, polyester, etc.). Good quality fabrics are more durable and less prone to pilling.
2. Prevent friction: Avoid friction with rough surfaces, because friction is one of the main causes of pilling. Try to avoid wearing rough bags, suspenders or other potentially abrasive items, which will reduce friction between clothing and surfaces.
3. Classify and wash: Follow the instructions on the clothing labels and wash them in correct categories to prevent excessive wear and tear. Avoid washing with items with rough fibers (such as towels) or items with ripped areas, which may cause pilling.
4. Wash upside down: In the washing machine, turn the short-sleeved men’s shirt upside down to reduce friction between the surface of the fabric and other items. At the same time, it can also prevent buttons or zippers on clothes from causing damage to the fabric during the washing process.
5. Use softener: Using softener can make fabrics smoother, reduce friction between fabrics, and provide certain protection. But be aware that overuse of softener may leave residue on clothing, so use it in moderation.
6. Hand wash or gentle cycle: Try to hand wash the short sleeves of the shirt to reduce wear and tear caused by the washing machine. If using a washing machine, choose the delicate or laundry saver programs to reduce the risk of pilling.
7. Avoid high-temperature drying: High-temperature drying will cause fabric fibers to shrink and aggravate the pilling of clothing. It is best to choose low temperature or natural air drying and let the clothes dry naturally in the air.
8. Regularly trim the pilling part: Trim the pilling part on the short sleeves of the shirt in time to prevent it from further expanding and affecting the overall appearance. Carefully trim the pilling using a tool such as scissors, making sure not to damage the fabric.
In summary, to avoid pilling on men’s short-sleeve shirts, the key is to choose high-quality fabrics, avoid friction, wash correctly, tumble dry at low temperatures, and trim the pilling area regularly . This keeps the shirt’s short sleeves looking neat and tidy, extending its life.
