Accelerated Laundering and Finish Durability: Does One Cycle Equal Five Home Launderings?

  • Author(s) / Creator(s)
  • Most textile items are expected to maintain their properties over time, and thus, exhibit durability. Durability extends to mechanical integrity, color, and additional properties conferred by textile finishes. The durability of color is routinely measured in colorfastness tests, many of which are accelerated. Such accelerated testing of finish durability is less common, and durability to laundering is tested using multiple conventional laundering processes.
