Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009148801A1] An improved laundering method for hand washing fabrics such as clothes, curtains, sheets, tablecloths, etc. includes the steps of providing a laundering system, adding water to a wash basin, dispersing the laundry detergent in a wash basin, adding a fabric to the wash basin, forming a wash liquor by combining the water and the laundry detergent, soaking the fabric in the wash liquor for a washing time period of from about 30 minutes to about 12 hours to form a soaked fabric, removing the soaked fabric from the wash liquor, removing wash liquor from the soaked fabric, dispersing the rinsing composition in water in a rinse basin to form a rinse solution, adding the soaked fabric to the rinse solution, soaking the soaked fabric in the rinse solution for a rinsing time period of from about 1 minute to about 1 hour to form a rinsed fabric, removing the rinsed fabric from the rinse solution, removing rinse solution from the rinsed fabric, and drying the rinsed fabric. The laundering system contains a laundry detergent and a rinsing composition. The laundry detergent is suitable for overnight soaking containing therein a bactericide and retards bacterial growth upon soaking a bacteria-contaminated fabric in a wash liquor for 6 hours at 25 °C.
