A study of pretreatment of wool fabric with chitosan and some natural constituents of lemongrass oil as citral and nerol has been carried out. The pretreatments effectively enhanced the dyeing properties of wool fabrics. Pretreatments with chitosan improve the dye ability, color fastness, whiteness, and the wet ability. Citral and nerol are used as properfumes fabric treatment and surfactant and cleaner to fabrics. These products are also resistant to laundering, and they are suitable for environmentally friendly treatments of wool fabric. Chemical and mechanical measurements of the treated samples compared with the untreated one are reported.
