Abstract:Laundering is essential for maintaining personal hygiene but can lead to fabric damage, such as color fading and fiber loss, caused by frequent and excessive mechanical action. Front-loading washers utilize mechanical force such as falling, rotating, and sliding to remove soil from textiles, where fabric properties influence these movements, resulting in varied mechanical actions depending on fabric type. Herein, the relationship between fabric properties and movement pertaining to mechanical action was analyz… Show more
