Abstract
Publisher Summary Refurbishment processes for apparel is a term generally used to include all operations used in the maintenance and care of apparel and some interior textiles. The term includes dry cleaning, domestic and commercial laundering (aqueous cleaning) and, most importantly, the pressing or ironing operations that are used to restore the smooth, pressed appearance of garments. The stability of garments to such refurbishment operations has always been considered a key aspect of quality. Quality assurance procedures to measure the stability of a whole range of fabric properties to washing, dry cleaning, and pressing are enshrined in standards and tests published by bodies such as the AATCC and ISO. The fabric physical properties considered most important include tensile strength, abrasion resistance, smooth appearance and pilling propensity, as well as the fastness of dyestuffs. As key aesthetic features, the stability of the appearance and hand of garments and their component fabrics is an importance determinant of the perceived durability/ quality of apparel.
