Polyester is a popular synthetic
material that can be knitted or woven
into several different types of textures
and weights. Its fibers are often used
in sweatshirts, hoodies and tops.
Athletic wear is also a popular area
where you’ll find polyester material
being utilized.
Likely, you’ve worn clothing that has
a mixture of both cotton fabrics and
polyester, which means you won’t
have to pull out your iron to make
them look wearable.
Polyester Fabric Care
One of the benefits of polyester fabric
is its resiliency. It can withstand
several trips to the washer without
wearing out quickly.
This is why it’s ideal for clothing that
is worn frequently. Polyester fabric
care requires a heavy-duty detergent
and warm water. Polyester can be
heat sensitive.
You never want to use high
temperatures as this can shrink, melt
or deform your clothing.
You can run this material through
your washer using a regular cycle
type. For the dryer, a permanent press
cycle type is best with no special
treatments.
Polyester Cleaning Steps
When you’re ready for polyester
cleaning, you may run into different
types of stains.
Follow these steps for polyester fabric
care to help ensure that your clothing
gets cleaned properly:
Step 1: This step involves locating any
stains that have come in contact with
your clothing. Polyester fabric tends
to be challenging to wash when oily
stains come in contact with the
synthetic fibers that make up the
material.
You’ll receive the best results if you
treat oily stains with a heavy-duty
detergent that has been mixed with
water or a high-quality stain remover.
Step 2: After finding any stains, take
your stain remover and spray it
liberally over the fibers where stains
have been embedded.
You can use your fingers to work in
the cleaning solution so that it
thoroughly mixes with the polyester
fibers. Let this soak for a minimum of
15 minutes before you place your
clothing
