2026-05-23

    Reason for pilling:

    Our first impression of this is a quality issue, but in fact, fabric pilling is also related to many non quality factors.

    Firstly, the fabric characteristics:

    pure cotton:

    Advantages: moisture absorption and breathability, Soft and skin friendly, easy to clean, anti allergic, not prone to pilling

Disadvantages: easy to wrinkle, shrink, and deform

    Wool:

    Advantages: Warm, soft fur, good elasticity, strong thermal insulation

    Disadvantages: prone to pilling, shrinkage, felting reaction, and susceptibility to insect infestation after mold growth

    Nylon:

    Advantages: Lightweight and durable, smooth surface, easy to wash and dry, fixed elasticity, fixed stretchability

    Disadvantages: Easy to generate static electricity, most prone to pilling

    Polyester:

    Advantages: Good elasticity, high strength, stiffness, not easy to break, no need for ironing

    Disadvantages: Poor breathability, difficult to dye, prone to static electricity, prone to pilling

    Ma:

    Advantages: Natural fabric, comfortable, lightweight, Breathable

    Disadvantages: prone to wrinkling, not stiff, poor elasticity, and itching sensation

    Silk:

    Advantages: Smooth and soft, good texture, vibrant colors, skin friendly and comfortable

    Disadvantages: Easy to wrinkle, shrink, and difficult to maintain

    In summary, wool, nylon, and Polyester Fabrics are prone to pilling. Please be aware of this.

    Usage process:

    Friction:

    Friction between fabrics and different fabrics can lead to varying degrees of pilling.

    static electricity:

    Static electricity is ubiquitous in daily life. For example, when taking off clothes at night, you will hear a crackling sound accompanied by blue light; When I wake up in the morning and comb my hair, it will float up.

    Improper washing:

    Excessive washing time can cause damage to fibers due to mechanical forces, resulting in more fiber ends breaking and increasing the likelihood of pilling.

    Washing temperature:

    Improper washing temperature can also cause fabric pilling. It is best to control the washing temperature between 20 ° C and 45 ° C.

    Detergent:

    Neutral detergent or soap powder should be used

    in summary:

    Not all pilling phenomena are due to product quality issues. Some are caused by the characteristics of the fabric itself, some are due to static electricity caused by friction between the clothing fabric and bedding fabric during use, and of course, it is also possible that fabric pilling is caused by improper washing.
