Knitwear is soft and skin-friendly, but improper cleaning and maintenance can easily cause deformation and pilling. Follow these tips to keep your favorite knit items in good condition for longer.

Sort before cleaning: For natural fiber knitwear like wool and cashmere, hand washing is recommendeduse warm water (around 30), add neutral laundry detergent, and gently press the fabric (avoid rubbing or pulling). Blended knitwear (cotton-acrylic, etc.) can be machine washed, but place it in a laundry bag, select the "delicate cycle," and keep the water temperature below 40to prevent fiber damage. Never use bleach, as it can ruin the fabrics color and elasticity.

Avoid twisting when dehydrating: For natural fiber knitwear, lay it flat on a towel, roll the towel into a cylinder, and squeeze to absorb water. For blended knitwear, use the washing machines "low-speed dehydration" (no more than 1 minute). Dry away from direct sunlight: Lay wool knitwear flat on a drying rack to prevent stretching; cotton knitwear can be hung, but use a wide-shoulder hanger to avoid stretching the neckline or shoulders.

Prevent pilling in daily care: Before wearing, run a lint remover over the fabric to reduce friction-induced pilling. Fold knitwear separately when storing (avoid mixing with rough fabrics). For wool items, place mothballs (wrapped to prevent odor transfer) to repel moths. If small pills appear, do not pull them by handcarefully cut them off with scissors to keep the fabric smooth.
