Sequin care
Every self-respecting fashionista has in her wardrobe clothes with sequins – evening or cocktail dresses, tops, t-shirts and even whole suits. As a rule, these are spectacular things, full of light, bright and original, although everyday, seemingly simple outfits can also be brilliant. And this is not surprising, because sequins and sequins – are the main trend of the last few seasons, both winter and summer. But few people know how to properly care for things with such decor, how to wash, iron and store them, and then they are outraged that things are of poor quality.
Remember: things even with a minimum of sequins or sequins require a very delicate and careful attitude to themselves, especially when it comes to washing. We'll talk about this later!
Features of sequined fabric
Usually, a fabric with sequins – is a translucent and very delicate material with multi-colored and shiny plastic plates of various shapes sewn or glued onto it: in the form of rings, circles, rectangles, rhombuses, etc. As a rule, they are made very thin, which gives them grace and weightlessness. But at the same time, the sequins, when handled carelessly, break very easily, and when exposed to high temperatures – they also melt.
How to care for clothes with sequins?
If you bought yourself a new thing with sequins or you already have a shiny little thing, remember: the main rule of clothing with sequins – storage is only on a hanger, on a coat hanger or on a special rack. This is due to the fact that during folding things, the sequins are also bent, damaged, bent, broken and even come off.
Also, products with sequin decor should not be taken to dry cleaning, because after special treatment with chemical cleaners that are usually used there, sequins can lose their shine, color, and even shape. Therefore, it is better to wash and process clothes with sequins or sequins only at home and with non-aggressive detergents. >
Washing a dress with sequins
How to wash clothes with shine so that they last as long as possible, do not lose their appearance, shine and original condition? Ideally – this is a hand wash in cool water with the addition of a minimum amount of powder or liquid soap solution, separately from other things and turned inside out. But, if you do not have time or desire for this, then when loading a dress with sequins into the washing machine, set the hand wash mode and the water temperature to 30 degrees.
It is important to wash it in cool water, otherwise the sequins will peel off from the high temperature, lose their luster and may even deform!
Another important point – is the choice of detergent. Although by and large, any chemical agent can significantly affect the quality of sequins, their luster and color. The main thing is not to use the usual washing powder, only liquid or soap solution.
After washing, it is not advisable to wring out or twist a dress or T-shirt with sequins in the old fashioned way, because a thing with a similar decor during the spin cycle can easily lose its shape, stretch, deform, and the sequins are easily deformed and broken. Therefore, if you wash the product in the machine, it is better to first turn off the spin mode, and if manually, then let the excess water simply drain by hanging the item on a hanger or hanger.
How to iron things in sequins
The classic ironing of things with glitter and clothes with sequins – is not the best option, because due to the effect of the hot surface of the iron, the plastic plates will simply melt and at the same time they may even stick to the fabric, and then everything is possible throwing away. Therefore, if wrinkles or folds suddenly form on a thing with sequins, a steam iron will help to smooth them out, preferably for vertical ironing, with which you can steam clothes with sequins without harming their appearance, but it is better to do this from the wrong side of the product. At the same time, remember that hot steam should not come into close contact with plastic sequins, but pass at a distance of at least 10 cm.
