The main component of wood buttons is lignin, which is extremely resistant to organic solvents. It is a durable dry cleaning agent and can be dry cleaned with clothing. The fatal disadvantage of wood buttons is its water absorption. Because wood fiber is very absorbent, it will absorb water and expand quickly when it is wet or when it is put into water. It may crack, deform, or become rough after drying again. It is easy to hook clothes fiber.
