Wash woolen sweater with silicone oil shampoo and conditioner


It should be noted that do not use washing powder to wash woolen sweater. Washing powder is a strong alkaline substance, which will denature the wool with protein structure and cause certain damage to the wool. So, you have to use washing liquid or a washing product specifically for wool.


But why can shampoo wash cardigans?


Very simple, shampoo can wash your hair, also can wash sheep's hair, because the structure and composition are similar. (the following is a comparison of the pictures of human hair and wool under the scanning electron microscope. Note that the magnification is not the same.)


In fact, the main reason is that surfactants have the same cleaning ability. The weak acid of shampoo products does not damage the sweater.


In addition, the silicone oil in shampoo can be deposited on your hair, of course, it can also be deposited on wool. And the smooth, shiny feel of silicone oil can also be shown on the sweater!


Of course, there is also a big move, that is, after using shampoo, then use conditioner to wash, or bubble sweater.


There is a product on the market that can make the fabric softer and fluffy, which is the fabric softener.


The formula of conditioner is very similar to fabric softener. There are fatty alcohols and cationic surfactants. This structure enables fatty alcohols and cationic surfactants to be arranged on the surface of hair or wool after hair washing. When you touch it with your hand, you will feel the hydrophobic end of the fatty alcohol and cation surface rather than the hair or wool directly, so you will feel soft and smooth.


There's another feature of conditioner and fabric softener, that is, it's just that there's silicone oil in cheap conditioner. Therefore, compared with the use of fabric softener, it will also appear more bright.


So, also try using silicone oil shampoo, conditioner to wash sweater, you will have a new experience.


However, it's a pity that the sweater you wear in winter has been washed and put away. I hope it won't be killed by you at this time.
