Abstract

Industrial washing is now becoming popular as it increases the value of the fabric properties and appearance. So, the aim of this study is to evaluate the physio-mechanical properties of the sample fabrics after doing enzyme and bleach wash. For this experiment, three different sample fabrics were used: 98/2% cotton/spandex woven fabric, 100% cotton knit fabric, and 95/2% cotton/spandex knit fabric. To observe the physical and mechanical properties of the samples several tests were done viz. color fastness to wash, rubbing, light, color strength, tensile strength, shrinkage, and surface density. After performing all the tests, significant improvement has been achieved. Almost no change occurred for enzyme and bleach wash against color fastness to wash. Bleach wash showed better results for rubbing fastness and enzyme wash for light fastness.
