mauve cotton fabric

Compared to rayon, cotton fabric is easy to care for. Although it stretches and pills over time, cotton with a higher thread count will hold up much better than cotton with a cheap and loose weave. On the other hand, Rayon gets weak when wet and may get damaged under heat. Therefore it is suggested to dry clean the rayon fabric to retain its shiny and silky surface.

Generally, in a mixed system of sodium hydroxide and hydrosulfite, the dyes on the fabric are reduced at a higher temperature. Sometimes, polyvinyl pyrrolidone solution needs to be added, such as BASF's ALigen A.
