The Effect of Bleach Washing Treatment on the Comfort Properties of Dyed Cotton Garments

Consumers who purchase textiles generally perceive the tactile properties of the fabric, indicating that they are more interested in comfort properties than other properties. In this investigation, the changes in comfort properties of dyed cotton garments were evaluated. Results showed that tensile properties, bending and compression behaviors, air permeability and surface roughness of dyed cotton fabrics were differently affected by the bleach washing treatment.
