Textile Laundering Technology Charles Riggs

Some people will remember predictions about 'clothes of the future' that would never need to be laundered because they shed dirt and wrinkles. To recover the water repellency after laundering, an ironing is not necessary. Very good wash permanency of effect: Arkophob FFR can display a wash resistance of more than 20 washes, a performance close to C6 fluorochemicals and far superior to other fluorinefree products. Gap Technology companies are another significant source of environmental toxins, especially in China. Another benefit is that Centium Core Technology sheets arrive to hotels Room Ready For You laundered with Tide, so the hotel staff does not have to launder the sheets before they are put on guest beds. Like most people I know, I typically wash my jeans every four to five wears, a practice endorsed by many textile experts (a Levi Strauss guru actually recommends hardly ever washing jeans). X-STATIC®is the leader in antimicrobial fabric technology, and has been proven to extremes in the most demanding applications and environments. Textiles made with X-STATIC® silver antimicrobial technology have been clinically-proven to inhibit the growth of bacteria directly on the surface of the fabric. Better resistance to abrasion and tear: the technological properties of the treated fabric are improved tear strength and ensuring better resistance to abrasion and better sewability. X-STATIC delivers quick, comprehensive and permanent protection with a continuous release of silver ions that lasts for the life of the product. Further, laundering practices are inconsistent and simply ineffective, as re-contamination occurs after laundered items are put into use.2. Greenpeace's Dirty Laundry investigation looks at two Chinese textile factories and proves they're polluting the rivers. A neutral enzyme (Lava Cell NNM, DyStar) with activity 130 EGU/g was used for treating the fabric.
