How to prevent pilling and pilling in textiles during use?

Pilling and pilling of textiles during use is caused by wear and tear on the surface of the fibres and by the loosening of the fibre structure.

 

Choose good quality textiles

Good quality textiles are usually made from high quality fibres with a compact fibre structure that reduces wear and tear and loosening of the fibres, thus reducing the occurrence of pilling and pilling.
 

 

Avoid machine washing and high temperature drying

Machine washing and high temperature drying can loosen the structure of the fibres, leading to pilling and pilling. Therefore, hand washing or tumble drying at a low temperature whenever possible will reduce the incidence of pilling and pilling.

 

Use of softeners

Softeners reduce friction between the fibres, reducing abrasion and loosening of the fibres, thus reducing the incidence of pilling and pilling.

 

Trim pilling regularly

If lint and pilling have developed, use a professional lint trimmer to trim them off to maintain the appearance and longevity of the textile.

 

Pay attention to storage conditions

Textiles should be stored in a ventilated and dry place, out of direct sunlight and in a humid environment to avoid abrasion and loosening of fibres, which can lead to hairballs and pilling.

 

In conclusion, preventing hairballing and pilling during use requires attention to a number of aspects such as fibre quality, washing methods and conditions of use in order to maintain the quality and longevity of the textile.
