Sažetak
In this paper, the lowering of the washing temperature in the standardized washing process ISO 15797:2017 and the new, environmentally friendly agent for chemical bleaching and disinfection were researched. The main objective was to maintain the quality of textiles after the washing process according to the requirements for textiles washed in a hospital environment. Standard pigment/sebum stains and blood stains on cotton and cotton/polyester blends were selected to monitor the primary effect over 10 wash cycles. The effect of the standardized and optimised washing process was additionally monitored by the so-called secondary effects, with the 3rd and 25th wash cycles serving as control points. It was found that the optimised process achieves the rationalization idea, resulting in a satisfactory washing effect, even at lower temperature.
