Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0113962A1] The invention provides that textile articles, and especially articles of clothing, are subjected to a steam treatment for such time and to such extent to mites, in particular the house dust mite (HDM) and/or to de-nature the allergen of such mites. Of particular novelty is that the treatment directed to killing the mites and/or de-naturing the allergen, is carried out in conjunction with other treatments which are performed on the textile articles, such as dry cleaning, washing, drying or the like. In the preferred form, the treatment to kill the mites and/or de-nature the allergen is carried out in dry cleaning establishments, and the treatment is carried out in tumble drying equipment whilst the articles are being tumbled.
