Key Topics to Revise

1

Methods of Washing

  • Friction washing is suitable for strong fabrics like cotton and involves rubbing, brushing, or beating to remove dirt.
  • Suction washing is used for pile fabrics like towels where brushes can damage the surface.
  • Kneading and squeezing is a gentle method for delicate fabrics like silk, rayon, and woolens.
2

Care Labels and Symbols

  • Care labels provide instructions on how to wash, dry, iron, and dry clean garments.
  • They are made of cloth or ribbon and attached inside the garment at the neckline or waist.
  • ASTM care symbols use universal icons: washtub (washing), triangle (bleaching), square (drying), iron (ironing), circle (dry cleaning).
3

Dry Cleaning and Stain Removal

  • Dry cleaning uses solvents instead of water to remove dirt and grease from delicate fabrics.
  • It prevents shrinking, color fading, and loss of shape in sensitive materials like silk and wool.
  • Spot cleaning at home can be done using absorbents (like talcum powder) or solvents (like white petrol).
4

Storage of Textiles

  • Clothes should be clean and dry before storage to prevent insect damage and mildew.
  • Woolen and silk garments are prone to moth attack; cotton and linen can be damaged by silverfish and mildew.
  • Protective measures include brushing, airing, using repellents like camphor or neem leaves, and proper packing.
