Oxford cloth is a common fabric that has the advantages of durability and comfort, but many people have encountered the problem of fading of Oxford cloth clothes. So, why does Oxford cloth fade? Let’s explore it below.
Fading caused by light
Light is one of the main causes of fading of Oxford cloth. Prolonged exposure to sunlight or strong ultraviolet radiation can damage or oxidize the dye molecules in the fabric, causing the color to become lighter or even disappear.
In daily life, you should also pay attention to avoid placing Oxford cloth clothing in places exposed to strong light, such as next to windows, open balconies, etc.
Improper cleaning methods
Improper cleaning methods are also one of the reasons for the fading of Oxford cloth. For example, the use of bleach, too frequent machine washing, etc. will have an impact on the dyes in the fabric.
It is recommended to use mild detergent for hand or gentle machine cleaning, and avoid mixing with other dark-colored clothing to prevent cross-penetration of dyes.
Color loss due to friction
Time wear or repeated friction may also cause Oxford cloth to fade. Especially in friction parts (such as cuffs, elbows, etc.), long-term friction will cause hairiness, pilling, wear and even breakage on the surface of the fabric, resulting in the loss of dye molecules.
In order to reduce the occurrence of this situation, you should pay attention to keeping it clean and hygienic when wearing it, and avoid contact with rough surfaces. At the same time, you can choose to add antibacterial and antifouling treatments to increase the durability and resistance of the fabric.
