Abstract | The study was divided into two phases. The first phase considered how hardness, iron and manganese affected white cotton test fabric in the laundry process. The second phase was concerned with the effects of organic coloring and minerals on the test fabric. Swatches were prepared from the fabric and laundered by cooperators. The swatches were analyzed in the textile laboratory before laundering and after 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 launderings. Fabric discoloration and changes in physical properties were considered. Hot and cold water samples were analyzed from each water system. (Modified author abstract) |
