| dc.description.abstract | Sequel to the problems associated with African Prints (wrappers) –colour fastness to household bleaches and the continued need to seek out the best ways of minimizing them, the effect of different commercial brands of household bleaches(B1 to B4) on quality performance of ten (10) selected Africa Prints/wrappers(W1 to W10) were investigated. In the analysis one treatment was employed i.e. ISO3. The results show that the samples exhibits excellent wash fastness properties toward the household bleaches. The order of performance of the fabrics towards the household bleaches are Table 1:W3 toW10 >W2 >W1, Table 2: W1, W2 to W5-W10>W3>W4, Table 3 and Table 4:W1 to W10 shows excellent performance. It is therefore recommended that the household bleaches (B1 to B4) mentioned above are safe and can be used for washing African Prints (wrappers). | en_US |
