Abstract

Variation of damages in dry cleaning process and possible reasons were analysed. The most frequent damages were identified as follows: friability in usage, production faults and culpability of dry cleaning process as ultimate one. Sewn labels with proper care symbols have a great significance in the prevention of damages. Sometimes, textile producers are responsible for wrong labelling. Large share of damages is possible to avoid by qualified collaboration between textile producers and dry cleaners.
