Washing & Finishing Steps

1. 1Sorting and lot matching: sort by style number, color number and dye lot difference, wash same batch and same dye lot together, avoid color bleeding and color difference.
2. 2Rinsing to remove sizing and stains: warm water below 30℃ + neutral detergent, gently remove loose fibers, oil stains and sizing; never use high temperature or alkaline agents.
3. 3Softening/anti-shrink finishing: add hydrophilic softener, combined with Basolan anti-shrink properties to enhance the woolen hand feel, maintain dimensional stability.
4. 4Dewatering and setting: low-speed dewatering, wringing strictly prohibited, pre-shape the panels while damp to prevent wrinkling and deformation.
5. 5Drying/shade drying: low-temperature drying or lay flat to dry in the shade to 80%, avoid high temperature and direct sunlight causing the woolen surface to harden, discolor or shrink.
6. 6Panel pressing: steam-press each garment panel once before sewing to eliminate curled edges and wrinkles; steam pressure should be low.
7. 7Garment pressing: after sewing is completed, steam-press the whole garment once on a mannequin to set the shape, avoid pressing directly on the woolen surface.
8. 8Re-pressing and finishing: for easily wrinkled areas such as neckline, placket, hem and cuffs, press once more if possible to ensure flatness.
9. 9Quality inspection and packaging: inspect dimensions, color difference, pilling, stains and pressing results, bag after passing inspection, moth-proofing treatment recommended.
