Laundering Conditions for Improved Wash-and-Wear Appearance
1972
Löwendahl, Reidun | Åsnes, Harald
The variables that effect the appearance of wash-and-wear fabrics in home laundering have been studied in an effort to develop recommendations for more effective, safer washing methods for better appearance. The study was confined to the defect of soaking, amount of load, mechanical action, and washing temperature in home laundry machines on the appear ance of wash-and-wear fabrics. The present investigation showed that the amount of load and the type of washing pro gram were of great importance for the appearance. A low loading in the washing machine and a "continuous" drum rotation, including very short stop periods, are effective in minimizing wrinkles. Short spin-drying periods will not re duce the appearance rating substantially.
