1. PVC material characteristics: Why should we be cautious when washing in a machine?
Although the surface of PVC is wear-resistant, high temperature, strong friction or chemical detergents may cause the following effects on it:
Surface wear: High-speed rotation of the washing machine may cause PVC printing to fade or scratches on the surface;
High-temperature deformation: The heating and washing function of most washing machines may soften and warp the PVC;
Glue layer detachment: Some thickened PVC tablecloths contain adhesive backing, which may cause the glue layer to separate when machine washed.
2. Risks of machine washing
Drum washing machine: High speed during dehydration may cause the tablecloth to tear at the fold;
Mixed washing: Mixing with clothes with buttons and zippers may scratch the PVC surface;
Strong detergents: Cleaners containing chlorine or alkaline ingredients may corrode the material.
3. Scientific cleaning solution
We recommend the "hand wash + immediate maintenance" cleaning method:
Daily cleaning: Use a damp cloth dipped in a neutral detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) to wipe the stains. Stubborn oil stains can be softened with a baking soda solution and then lightly brushed;
Deep cleaning: If the whole body needs to be washed, soak it in a bathtub or large basin with clean water below 30℃ for 10 minutes, rinse gently and hang it to dry in the shade;
Storage tips: Avoid exposure to the sun after washing, and roll it up instead of folding it to prevent creases and cracks.
