Textile fabric stain removal principles and common methods (professional information)

The use of textile fabrics is stained during use, and some stains cannot be removed by conventional water washing or dry cleaning methods. In this case, appropriate detergents or chemicals should be selected for partial removal.


First, the principle of stain removal

According to different fiber materials, different stains, using different detergents to remove stains.


(a) Remove dirt as soon as possible

After the fabric is stained with stains, it must be promptly removed. If the fabric is too long, the stain will penetrate into the fiber and the fiber will bind firmly to the fabric. Even chemical reactions may occur so that it cannot be removed.

(b) Different types of stains take different measures

The same stains on different fabrics, the choice of detergents and methods vary. According to the nature of the stain and the type of fabric, choose the appropriate decontamination method and detergent.

(c) Different kinds of fabrics take different measures

Some detergents are detrimental to some fibers or shades. It is necessary to understand the fiber composition of the fabric before selecting the proper decontamination agent and method.

(D) Action should be brisk, avoid vigorous hard brush

When decontamination, the movement should be light, wipe from the periphery of the stain to the center to prevent the spread of stains.


Second, the general method of stain removal

Different fabrics should use different decontamination methods. At present, the main methods of stain removal include spraying, soaking, wiping and absorption.


(a) Spray method

A method of removing water-soluble stains by the action of a spray gun spray force. Suitable for fabrics with tight structure and strong ability to withstand.

(b) Immersion method

The use of chemicals or detergents and stains on the fabric have sufficient reaction time to remove stains. It is suitable for fabrics with a combination of stains and fabrics and a large stain area.

(c) Wipe method

Wipe the stain with a brush or a clean, fine cloth to remove the stain. It is suitable for fabrics where the stain penetration is lighter or easier to stain.

(d) Absorption

After applying detergent to the stain on the fabric, dissolve it and absorb the removed stain with cotton. It is suitable for fabrics with fine texture, loose structure and easy discoloration.


Third, attention should be paid to the removal of stains

(a) pay attention to safety

Gasoline, alcohol, turpentine, etc. are flammable products. Keep away from fire when using and storing. The oxalic acid should pay attention to anti-virus, and organic detergents should be sealed after use to prevent evaporation.

(B) pay attention to the nature of the detergent and use of methods

Strong acids will cause carbonization of cotton, hemp, viscose, and other fabrics. Attention should be paid to concentration, temperature, and time. Silk, wool fiber fabrics do not use ammonia or alkaline water stains, if necessary, the concentration must be low, the operation should be fast. When removing stains on chemical fiber fabrics with organic solvents, prevent the fabrics from dissolving and causing breakage. Dyeing and printing fabrics should prevent fading and coloring.
