Dry Cleaning Dimensional Stability
topic
Dry cleaning stability testing subjects marked fabric specimens to Stoddard solvent or perchloroethylene-based cleaning cycles in a laboratory tumble dry cleaning machine, measuring dimensional change and distortion after defined numbers of cleaning cycles and correlating results to GINETEX and ISO 3175 dry cleaning symbol recommendations.
Role
Essential for wool, silk, and structured apparel fabrics that cannot withstand water-based laundering, providing the dimensional stability data that determines whether solvent-only or wet-cleaning care instructions are appropriate for a given fabric construction.
