Sažetak
The influence of wet cleaning, as a promising process compared to washing, on the physical and chemical properties of functional cotton fabrics with high added value is presented. Fabrics characterization before and after durable press finishing and after ten cycles of washing and wet cleaning is made using standard methods – measuring dimensional stability, construction characteristics, crease resistance, tensile properties, swelling properties and by surface characterization by scanning electron microscope and electrokinetic potential. It can be seen that wet cleaning, which has been used in practice, together with adequate pretreatment, as a substitute to dry cleaning, can also be successfully implemented as a process to substitute washing, particularly when high-value added articles are concerned.
