If someone loves his clothes, he may wear Archaeopteryx; If his clothes look dirty, it is probably the Archaeopteryx of Haitao.
Pange found that, as the traffic code of the clothing industry, Archaeopteryx is easy to wash when it is washed, although it is comfortable to wear. The biggest reason is the particularity of GTX fabric.
Therefore, in order to prevent birds from being injured, many people choose official cleaning. However, the regulations on Archaeopteryx points and overseas shopping have turned away some "birdman" and had to clean themselves. There will also be accidents during official cleaning.
It seems not difficult to clean fragile Archaeopteryx and repair GTX fabric coating. At the same time, the price of Archaeopteryx was too high for the maintenance of clothes, which also discouraged some netizens.
Archaeopteryx, which is difficult to maintain, makes some people think that they "bought an ancestor to go home". The price difference at home and abroad and the imperfect service process make many people unable to complain.
However, some netizens regard Archaeopteryx clothes as financial products. Behind the dirty bird clothes, there may be a lot of money.
Archaeopteryx washed
In recent years, Archaeopteryx seems to be surpassing Lululemon and becoming the favorite of the middle class.
However, Pange found that some people wore Archaeopteryx that did not look clean. Some are even visibly dirty, as if they have never been washed.
Are the middle-class people who like to wear Archaeopteryx all slovens who don't pay attention to hygiene? Of course not. Brother Pan learned that there is something hidden behind many people's failure to wash clothes.
Not long ago, An An, a netizen in Shanghai, washed an archaeopteryx hard shell by hand and put it in the washing machine to dry. After taking it out, he was surprised to find that all the clothes were degummed.
At the same time, An An also said to Pan Ge: "After washing this dress for several times, I feel that the waterproof effect of the fabric has become worse. Could it be that a layer of coating on the surface has been washed off?"
Xiaowei, a netizen, also said: "Archaeopteryx takes a lot of effort to wash. I used a special detergent to machine wash it, but when drying it, I still washed one piece. If there is no dryer at home, I suggest not washing it by myself."
On the other hand, Xiao Fan, a netizen, also told Pan Ge, "I threw my husband's archaeopteryx into the washing machine, and then found that there were wrinkles, and the edges were also white. At that time, the counter said to send it back to them for washing. I didn't take it seriously, but it was just like this after washing. I really regret it."
In this way, Archaeopteryx, which can cope with extreme weather, tends to become very vulnerable when it comes to cleaning.
Is GTX fragile?
How to clean the Archaeopteryx that is easy to wash?
In this regard, the customer service of Archaeopteryx Jingdong told Pan Ge: "It is generally recommended that clothes be washed at a temperature below 40 degrees, using only neutral detergent instead of softeners, bleaches, disinfectants, etc., and then dried naturally."
Xiaoyu, an archaeopteryx store clerk, also told Pange, "It is better to send the archaeopteryx hard shell or down jacket to the store for cleaning; ordinary soft shell or cotton padded jacket can be washed at home."
At the same time, Xiaoyu also told Pange, "The difference between cleaning is GTX. Soft shells have no GTX but only coating, so they can be machine washed at will; hard shells can be washed by themselves, but it will be troublesome. Some customers have washed them."
Pange learned that what Xiaoyu called "GTX", which is called "Gore Tex" in full, is a lightweight, strong and durable fabric with waterproof, breathable and windproof functions.
Among them, "Gore Tex" white label is suitable for comfortable protection in dry environment, and is generally used by soft shell assault suit; Black label is suitable for durable waterproof in rainy and snowy weather and is used by hard shell. At the same time, the black label is also divided into three layers, 2.5 layers, 2 layers and other structural types. The technology and cost of different types are very different.
In addition, for GTX fabric, Xiaoyu also told Pange: "If the surface of GTX clothes is dirty, worn or greasy, DWR (durable water splash resistance) will gradually be lost, so it needs good maintenance."
At present, there are a lot of washed notes of Archaeopteryx on the Little Red Book, especially when the coating is washed off. Many of these users also encountered the use of official delivery services, but there were still some damage disputes.
There are many ways of "bird washing"
It seems that if you want to clean Archaeopteryx at ease, you still need to ask the authorities. However, some netizens were officially rejected.
One netizen said: "Archaeopteryx points can be exchanged for cleaning vouchers. I don't have enough points this year, so I can only wash one piece. I can only wash other clothes when I go to the store to spend points." Another netizen said: "I am an archaeopteryx on overseas shopping. I have no domestic purchase record, and I can't go to the store to clean clothes if I have cleaning vouchers."
In order to get official cleaning, many "birdman" have racked their brains.
For example, some netizens borrowed their friends' purchase records and sent the same type of Archaeopteryx from overseas to domestic stores for cleaning; There are also netizens who exchange extra cleaning vouchers on small programs and sell them online at a price of 50 yuan.
On the other hand, some netizens have studied hard and mastered the essence of the official "bird washing".
A Gui, a netizen, said, "Wash the shell of the future by hand, soak it in GTX detergent for 20 minutes, and then gently rub it. Brush the dirt with a soft bristle brush, and then rinse it with a shower head. When it is half dry, spray it evenly with waterproof spray, and finally dry it with a hair dryer."
Another netizen said: "If Archaeopteryx is not very dirty, it doesn't need to be washed. It can be wiped. Their so-called official cleaning is also entrusted to a third party."
At the same time, some netizens enjoyed the official cleaning service, but they accidentally washed out the accident.
For example, Xiao Yang, a netizen, told Pan Ge, "I didn't wear the bird clothes several times, but I took them back to the store for cleaning. The previous stains didn't wash down, but instead, there was a large yellow in the inside pocket of my hat." Another netizen said, "The Archaeopteryx, who had worn it for more than a year, didn't dare to wash it at home, but sent it to the store for cleaning. After washing, I found that the waterproof effect was worse."
The price of "bird repairing" is not cheap
What will be done to Archaeopteryx washed by the authorities?
In response, Little Sheep told Pan Ge: "The yellow color on the clothes is because the detergent was not cleaned. They are fully responsible for it, and the clothes were returned to me." At the same time, she said to Pan Ge: "In fact, you can wash them yourself, but I have too many points. There is no other way to change the cleaning voucher."
On the other hand, another netizen said: "If you accidentally damage the coating inside when cleaning Archaeopteryx, buy a special care liquid and spray it on. It's just a waterproof layer, and you can do it yourself."
Pange found that DWR waterproof repair and care spray, which was sold on Taobao Global, can repair the washed coating of Archaeopteryx, and a bottle costs 178 yuan.
However, sometimes the damage to Archaeopteryx comes not from the cleaning process, but from outdoor sports. At the same time, the cost of maintaining Archaeopteryx is often eye popping.
For example, Xiao Feng, a netizen, told Pan Ge: "A pair of more than 2000 yuan Archaeopteryx pants fell down and broke a small hole, rubbed off a little coating. The repair price was 800 yuan, and the repair effect was very ordinary."
A Lai, a netizen, also said: "The 1988 yuan Archaeopteryx jacket was cut a centimeter wide by thorns. Is it worth the price of 1200 yuan for the official maintenance of the applet?"
At the same time, A Lai also told Pan Ge: "The maintenance of Archaeopteryx is too expensive. Finally, I spent 5 yuan to find a tailor to fix it. There is no need to spend 1200 yuan to cover it. It is better to buy a new one with that money, although the official coverage effect is definitely better."
Pan found that on the Leisure Fish App, someone started a special business for the maintenance of Archaeopteryx, and the price was much cheaper than the official price.
Into and out of the pit
Pange found that Archaeopteryx, which was troublesome to clean and expensive to maintain, made many people enter and leave the pit.
In this regard, some netizens said: "When wearing Archaeopteryx, you have to take off your clothes before each meal, which makes you feel very ceremonious."
Another netizen said: "I feel like I've become a bitch after I put it on. I'm careful about what I do for fear of damaging the bird." "I dare not buy light colored archaeopteryx because I'm afraid of getting dirty. After all, I can't afford to wash it."
At the same time, the price and service of Archaeopteryx in China also make some consumers angry.
For example, Xiaoyang said to Pange, "I have returned to the pit in China because I found that Archaeopteryx sold in Canada is very cheap, and the price is at least one third cheaper than that in China."
Pange found that in the official flagship store of Archaeopteryx Tmall, a Norvan Shell men's hard shell jacket was sold for 4500 yuan; If you choose Canada, the price of the same archaeopteryx clothing is only 3249 yuan, 1251 yuan cheaper than that in China.
On the other side, another netizen said: "It's not careful to send the clothes of Archaeopteryx to the official for maintenance. The after-sales customer service can't answer the message in real time. It took more than two months to patch them."
However, some netizens do not care about the price and service of Archaeopteryx, but regard it as a financial product.
For example, one netizen said: "The Archaeopteryx Leaf bought five years ago was priced at 2899 yuan at that time; now it is priced at 8879 yuan on the Get Things App."
In this way, the archaeopteryx, which is troublesome and expensive to maintain, is not necessarily useless. Those dirty bird clothes may be very valuable in the future.
