Washing & Finishing Steps

1. 1Sorting and lot matching: sort by style number, color number and dye lot difference; wash the same batch and same dye lot together to 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; the cotton component should avoid high temperature and alkalinity.
3. 3Softening/shrink-resistant finishing: add a hydrophilic softener, combined with the mercerized shrink-resistant property to improve the pile hand feel, maintain dimensional stability, and prevent the cotton component from shrinking.
4. 4Dewatering and shaping: low-speed dewatering, wringing is strictly prohibited, pre-shape the garment while damp to prevent the wool-cotton blended yarn from wrinkling and deforming.
5. 5Drying/shade drying: low-temperature drying or flat drying in the shade to 80% dry, avoid high-temperature sunlight exposure that may cause hardening, discoloration or shrinkage.
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 for shaping, avoid direct pressing on the pile surface.
8. 8Re-pressing and fine finishing: for easily wrinkled parts such as neckline, placket, hem and cuffs, press once more as much as possible to ensure flatness.
9. 9Quality inspection and packaging: inspect size, color difference, pilling, stains and pressing effect; after passing inspection, bag them, and anti-moth treatment is recommended.
