The Redeposition Phenomena on Polyester Fiber by Natural Soils

In order to elucidate the redeposition of natural soil during cleansing in suds, the effect of the nature of textile fiber and the amount of soil in washing solution on the redeposition has been studied. It was found that the redeposition depends on the amount of soils and the stability of dispersion in washing solution rather than the number of cycles in washing. On the other hand, the degree of redeposition for textile fiber increased in the order : cellulose
