Abstract (en)

[origin: US2016168780A1] Textiles are hygienically cleaned by subjecting them to a low-temperature wash, generally less than 140°, and typically about 100° F. Once cleaned, they are subjected to a low temperature bleaching step at a pH of generally around 9 or less. The bleaching step is again conducted a low temperature, such as 140°, 100° F. Treated textiles can then be rinsed and treated to any typical post-washing operations. By conducting the washing and the bleaching at low temperatures, energy is saved. Further, maintaining the low temperature and low pH for the bleaching solution achieves better disinfection and, at the same time, minimizes damage to the textile.
