Development of a Test to Predict Colour Fading of Cotton Fabrics After Multi-cycle Laundering with a Bleach-containing Domestic Detergent

The development of a new diagnostic test to identify coloured cotton fabrics susceptible to fading (due to oxygen bleach) through washing with oxygen bleach-containing domestic laundry detergents is described. A possible mechanism is outlined to explain the bleach sensitivities observed on the basis of dye structure. Contains correction (JSDC, Vol. 112, Decmeber 96, p. 378)
