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.
