Knitted cotton is a common fabric that is soft, breathable and comfortable. However, due to the particularity of its fiber structure, it may pill during use.
Pilling refers to the appearance of small granular pom-poms on the surface of the fabric, usually caused by friction and wear of the fibers. This phenomenon is more likely to occur on knitted cotton fabrics, especially in areas that are often subject to friction, such as cuffs, collars, and waists.
The degree of pilling depends on the quality of the fabric and the conditions of use. If the fabric has poor fiber quality or is not processed properly, the likelihood of pilling increases. In addition, if you frequently rub against other rough objects while wearing, it will also accelerate the occurrence of pilling.
In order to reduce the problem of knitted cotton pilling, you can take the following measures:
1. Choose high-quality knitted cotton fabrics and try to avoid buying inferior products.
2. When washing, use mild laundry detergent and avoid using strong scrubbing or soaking for too long.
3. Try to avoid frequent friction with rough objects, such as hooks, zippers or rough surfaces.
4. After washing, gently wipe the fabric with a soft towel to make it smooth again.
In addition, if your knitted cotton has pilling problems, you can try the following methods to deal with it:
1. Use scissors to carefully trim off the pilling part, being careful not to damage the fabric.
2. Use a piller or pill trimmer to remove the pilling part.
3. Use tape to gently remove the ball.
In short, knitted cotton fabrics may pill during use, but by choosing high-quality fabrics, correct use and maintenance methods, pilling can be reduced. Balling occurs and the fabric remains beautiful and comfortable.
