The restoring of dark cottons to the original stiffness after laundering

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Dark cottons are becoming popular for wearing apparel. Powdered starch customarily used in the home for restoring stiffness to cottons after laundering produces a spotted white product when used on dark cottons. Thus, homemakers are demanding information on ways to restore dark cottons to the original stiffness after laundering. where was no research in the published literature available to the investigator which was designed to answer this problem.
