Can Non-Woven Fabric Be Washed and Reused?

 As is well known, non woven fabric differs from traditional textiles, which are generally washable.So, can Nonwoven Fabric be washed and reused?

This depends on its specific material, production process, and intended use:
1.Washable types (e.g., kitchen cleaning cloths, reusable shopping bags) are designed for washing and reuse.When cleaning:
→ Hand wash gently to prevent fiber damage.
→ Avoid bleach to prevent fading.
→ Air dry away from sunlight to avoid deformation.

2.Non-washable types (e.g., masks, medical non woven fabrics) should not be washed because:
→ Water disrupts fiber structure (reducing strength/filtration efficiency).
→ Functional layers degrade (e.g., masks lose electrostatic filtration when wet).
→ Repeated washing causes brittleness or distortion.
Thus, Disposable Nonwoven products (e.g., surgical masks/gowns) must be replaced after use.

In summary, non-woven fabric daily items (such as cleaning wipes and shopping bags) can be washed cautiously.Functional products (medical masks, medical non woven fabrics) should not be washed.Even for reusable products, it is necessary to check if there are the "washable" labels on packaging.At the same time, avoid high temperatures or strong chemical cleaning agents to extend the lifespan and find a balance between environmental protection requirements and durability.
