Sažetak
The four basic factors in the Sinner cycle (mechanical agitation, duration, temperature and chemistry) are equally distributed in the case of a normal washing process. Process conditions generally contribute more to fabric damage than usage or wear. In this study standard cotton fabrics were frequently washed in the industrial conditions with linen from kitchen, restaurant, hotel and bed-wear-old peoples home. Different washing conditions were applied varyng washing agents, bleaches, disinfecting agents as well as temperature, duration and bath ratio in the washing machines. The evaluation of laundering effects was based on the testing of damages (loss of tearing strength, depolymerization), greying and color change (reduced whiteness by soil redeposition and color change by dye transfer and impact of fluorescent whitening agents) and incrustations (deposits of inorganic and organic compounds). During frequent cycles the surface modification is a result of fibre swelling capacity superimposed by mechanical agitation in the alkaline detergent bath. The new approach to washing performance was done through surface characterization monitored by streaming potential and scanning microscopy methods.
