Silicone Glycol Degreaser For Textile Deodorizing And Softening

Textile Silicone Softener, also referred to as Silicone Hydrogel, is a great natural alternative for softening textiles such as wool, silk, cotton, synthetics and leather. Synthetic and organic garments can benefit greatly from the added softness provided by this product. Textile Silicone Softener was originally developed as an alternative to the more environmentally toxic and health hazardous silicone-based softeners.

The primary ingredients in textile silicone softener include propylene glycol, calcium carbonate and silicone hydro gel. Propylene Glycol is commonly used in laundry detergents (also called laundry soap) because of its ability to form a non-slip surface which minimizes the risk of slips and falls in the laundry. It also maintains a constant temperature, which makes it safe to use in all types of fabric. Another advantage of textile silicone is that it doesn't attract or retain odors, making it safe to be used around children and pets. The only drawback of using a Silicone Hydrogel textile softener in your household is the potential for some people to develop allergic reactions to the ingredients in the product.

Silicone softener has also been shown to help fabrics shrink while maintaining their original form. In fact some manufacturers have reported having a reduction in shrinkage rates of up to 40%. This type of textile shrinker is safe to use in both dry and wet areas and can easily be integrated into any cleaning system to achieve maximum results.

Silicone softeners are available in both liquid and gel forms. The gel form should never be combined with other products. This can result in an explosive reaction, which can cause severe damage. Silicone gel can be applied directly to stains on fabric or directly to the garment before the garment is placed in the washing machine or dryer. To attain optimum results you should always pre-test a small area of fabric before applying it to a large area.

It is important to place a pre-soaked towel or gauze pad down on the garment before you place it in the water or dryer to prevent the gel from dripping onto the rest of the garment. You should also consider using garment care products on delicate areas such as seams and pockets to stop it being stained or damaged. You should try to protect the garment as much as possible by keeping it as dry as possible. If possible you should avoid washing in water or other chemicals because this will accelerate the rate at which the garment shrinks. Dry cleaning is the preferred option because it leaves the garment smelling and feeling nice.

When choosing a Fabric Softener you need to be aware of how long the product will last in your environment. If you are considering an environmentally friendly alternative for reducing the shrinking of your garment, you may find that some brands are not biodegradable. In this case you may wish to choose another brand. Although biodegradable garments are more expensive they are better for our environment. Always ensure that you follow the manufacturer's instructions when applying the garment care products.
