Cotton fabrics can be treated with special chemicals in special process to become flame resistant. Those fabrics will extinguish by themselves when ignited to cause no or less burn injuries to a wearer, so as to become a protective fabric. Care of flame resistant cotton fabrics involves two aspects. Firstly it is a cotton fabric and should be taken care as such. Secondly it is a flame resistant fabric. Special care should be taken to keep its flame resistant performance as much and as long as possible. A good care of 100% cotton fabrics will contribute significantly to prolong the life time and maintain their good appearance. Flame Resistance: Normally people use Avoid using soap or soap power or even bleaching power and apply high temperature to clean work wear, in particular those dirty greasy work wear. Soap or soap powers are often flammable material and will add chance of burning. Also the chloride or hypochloride content in detergents will compromise the functioning of flame retardant substance in the fabric and thus weakening the flame protective performance of the fabrics. It is highly commended to avoid using the chloride or hypochloride detergents. Shrinkage: The shrinking of cotton fabrics generally occurs in the drying process only. This drying process also has to have a heat source like a gas or electric dryer. This rapid drying process causes the natural fibers of the cloth to become scrunched together. This is the shrinking process. To prevent shrinking in the drying process, the clothes should be hanged to dry naturally, or if a tumble dryer has to be used, then try to keep the temperature as low as possible. Low Heat or a temperature no more than 60°C is highly recommended. Color Fading: Another concern of caring for 100% cotton is the loss of the dye in which the fabric’s color originates. This can easily be preserved if certain precautions in the washing process are adhered to. The most easy and normal way of doing that is to wash cotton fabrics items in cold water with neutral or mild detergent. The warmer the water becomes the more the increase bleeding of the dye, which causes the fading of the color. Another way to prevent excessive color fading is to turn a garment inside out when it is put to dry in the sun, so that the most important face of the fabric (outward) is away from direct sun to avoid exposure to color fading UV rays.

Aramid fabrics or aramid blend with other fibres are made to protect people from flame and heat. Those fabrics will extinguish by themselves when ignited to cause no or less burn injuries to a wearer, and they resist heat to a high level than many other synthetic like polyester or nylon and natural fibres Flame Resistance: Normally people use Avoid using soap or soap power or even bleaching power and apply high temperature to clean work wear, in particular those dirty greasy work wear. Soap or soap powers are often flammable material. If they stay with the fabric, they will add chance of burning. It is highly commended to avoid using the chloride or hypochloride and to only use neutral detergents. Shrinkage: The shrinking of aramid fabrics generally occurs in the drying process only, though the shrinkage is less than cotton or other synthetic textile materials. This drying process also has to have a heat source like a gas or electric dryer.. This is the shrinking process. To prevent shrinking in the drying process, the clothes should be hanged to dry naturally, or if a tumble dryer has to be used, then try to keep the temperature as low as possible. Low Heat or a temperature no more than 60°C is highly recommended. Color Fading: Another concern about aramid fabrics is the loss of the color in the sunlight. It is advisable to keep the fabric or garment away from sunlight. so that the most important face of the fabric (outward) is away from direct sun to avoid exposure to color fading UV rays. Another method is to pack the fabrics inside non transparent packing material such as black plastic sheet to keep the fabrics from light.

The recycling process of waste textiles can be divided into three stages: the recovery and pre-treatment stage, the fiber forming stage and the finished product stage of yarn weaving. Among them, the most core technology lies in the recovery and pre-treatment stage. The process methods at this stage are mainly divided into the following four types: 1. Mechanical method: waste textiles are directly processed into recycled fibers that can be spun into yarn without separation, and then woven into fabrics with wearability or certain functional use; Or directly waste cloth after simple processing directly used. 2. Chemical method: depolymerization, decomposition and repolymerization of high polymer in waste textiles of natural fibers or chemical fibers to obtain monomers, and then manufacture new chemical fibers using these monomers. 3. Physical method: does not destroy the chemical structure of the polymer, does not change its composition, through the collection, classification, purification, drying, adding the necessary additives for processing and granulation, so that it meets the quality standard of spinning raw materials. 4. Thermal energy method: The chemical fibers with high calorific value in waste textiles are converted into heat by incineration, which is used for the recovery and reuse of thermal power generation. Thermal energy method is suitable for those waste textiles that cannot be recycled.
