Clothing trends have transformed dramatically over the years, and today, fabric processing has become an essential part of modern apparel production. Thanks to advances in textile science, there are now numerous techniques to make fabrics softer, more durable, visually unique, and increasingly comfortable. These methods—once limited mostly to denim—are now widely applied to 100% cotton and various cotton–polyester blends as well.

To achieve vintage, classic, or enhanced aesthetics, manufacturers use specialized washing techniques that treat fabrics in controlled environments and chemical solutions. These methods highlight the fabric's characteristics without compromising reliability or lifespan. At Zain Garments, we offer a wide variety of premium washing processes with low minimums starting from just 50 pieces, giving brands the freedom to introduce unique effects into both vintage-focused and mainstream apparel lines.

With options such as acid washing, enzyme washing, burnout processing, and more, customers can build an entirely vintage collection or blend vintage pieces into their existing product range. Additionally, techniques like silicone washing, bio-washing, and preshrunk washing help combat shrinkage, wrinkling, and fabric distortion. Zain Garments provides all these services and guides clients toward the best process based on their specific requirements.

Our Fabric Washing Processes

Preshrunk Washing

Preshrunk Washing

Some knitted or woven fabrics naturally develop small gaps within the fibers, causing garments to shrink after washing.

To prevent this, Zain Garments offers preshrunk washing, which tightens the fabric structure before production. After preshrinking, garments maintain their size even after repeated washes—whether in cold or hot water.

This process helps brands showcase durability and reliability, especially for customers who wash their garments frequently. A medium stays a medium—wash after wash.

Silicone Washing

Silicone Washing

Silicone washing is one of the best ways to enhance softness and comfort in a garment. At Zain Garments, you can apply this treatment to your custom products to achieve a smooth, luxurious feel.

Aside from adding softness, silicone washing also acts as a preshrink method by tightening the knit structure. It helps garments stay newer for longer, retaining softness even after several washes.

This process is perfect for brands aiming to elevate the quality and touch of their apparel, providing a premium customer experience.

Bio-Washing

Bio-Washing

Bio-washing, also known as bio-polishing, is another premium fabric-enhancement option. This treatment provides both softness and extra shine, giving garments a cleaner, more refined finish.

It is especially effective for maintaining color vibrancy over time. Unlike harsh chemical detergents, bio-washing uses natural suds, natural fixers, brightening agents, and gentle conditioners.

It's an ideal choice for eco-conscious brands looking to preserve quality while reducing chemical exposure and environmental impact.

Enzyme Washing

Enzyme Washing

Enzyme washing is highly recommended for brands wanting a polished, premium look. This treatment improves colorfastness, rubbing resistance, and surface smoothness, making your garment more attractive and professional.

This method also enhances anti-pilling properties by targeting and refining the fabric's outer fibers. At Zain Garments, we offer both acid enzyme washes and neutral enzyme washes, each designed for different fabric needs.

For brands seeking maximum benefits and an upscale finished feel, enzyme washing is one of the best options available.

Acid Washing

Acid Washing (Stone Washing)

Acid washing—also known as stone washing—creates a dramatic faded effect that's highly popular in vintage and streetwear styles. Although commonly used on sturdy fabrics like denim and twill, we can apply it to many other materials as well.

100% cotton responds particularly well, producing unique vintage shades for T-shirts, hoodies, and other cotton garments. At Zain Garments, we can customize the extent of fading to match your preferred aesthetic.

This process is perfect for creating that sought-after vintage look that appeals to modern fashion consumers.

Burnout Process

Burnout Process

The burnout process is a distinctive technique that selectively removes fibers from certain areas of the fabric to create a semi-transparent, visually striking pattern. It gives garments a worn-in, vintage-inspired appearance.

This effect works beautifully for women's wear and other creative fashion pieces. At Zain Garments, we can apply burnout processing even on low quantities, helping you explore unique design ideas without high order requirements.

Burnout reduces thread count in targeted areas, producing artistic patterns and truly one-of-a-kind garments that stand out in the market.
