Hydrogen Peroxide and Clothes Damage

On the Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide on Clothing
People have heard of hydrogen peroxide in modern times, but there are different opinions on its role in clothing. Discuss it in detail today.

Hydrogen peroxide is active and has the power to oxidize. People often use it to decontaminate and bleach. However, when it is used in clothing, advantages and disadvantages coexist.

Look at its advantages. If the fabric is dark and dirty, it can be decontaminated and whitened with moderate hydrogen peroxide. Cotton and linen, etc., are stained with dust and scale. After washing it, the color is fresh and the stains are removed. Because of its oxidation ability, it can break the structure of stains and make it easily soluble in water, thus achieving the effect of cleaning.

However, it also has disadvantages. If the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is inappropriate, or the action time is too long, it will damage the clothes. Silk and the like are soft and delicate, and when exposed to high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, the fibers are easily damaged. The toughness of silk and the softness of felt can be weakened due to it. And it has bleaching properties. If colored clothes are not used carefully, it is easy to fade, uneven hue, and loss of beauty.

Furthermore, even cotton and other chemical-resistant fabrics are treated with hydrogen peroxide for a long time, which will also age the fibers. The fibers are gradually brittle, the durability of the clothes is reduced, and it is easy to tear and damage.

Therefore, when using hydrogen peroxide on clothes, it must be cautious. Test the material of the fabric first, and then determine the concentration and effect. Colored clothes should be especially careful, if not necessary, do not use them lightly. In this way, the advantages can be promoted and the disadvantages avoided, so that the clothes are always clean and intact.
