Both polyester cotton and pure cotton are common fabrics, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Polyester cotton is made of a blend of polyester fiber and cotton, which has the advantages of wear resistance, anti-wrinkle, easy cleaning, etc., and is also relatively cheap; while pure cotton is made of 100% natural cotton fiber and is breathable, Comfortable, soft and other advantages, but the price is relatively high.
As for the problem of pilling after washing, generally speaking, polyester cotton is more prone to pilling than pure cotton. This is because polyester fibers release static electricity during the friction process, thereby absorbing fine fiber debris and forming small spherical substances. Since pure cotton does not have polyester fibers, it is not prone to static electricity and is not prone to pilling.
In order to reduce the pilling phenomenon of polyester-cotton or pure cotton clothing, you can take the following measures:
1. Choose high-quality fabrics: High-quality fabrics are well-processed, not only less prone to pilling, but also have a longer lifespan.
2. Pay attention to the washing method: use neutral detergent, avoid strong rubbing and overheated water temperature, and do not mix with other clothes.
3. Avoid friction when drying: Do not put too many clothes on the drying rack to avoid friction between clothes.
4. Use a ball remover: If the pilling phenomenon cannot be avoided, you can use a ball remover to remove small spherical substances on the surface of the clothes.
In general, polyester cotton and pure cotton have their own advantages and disadvantages, and which fabric to choose depends on personal needs and preferences. Polyester cotton is more prone to pilling after washing than pure cotton, but through correct washing methods and attention to details, this problem can be reduced.
