After the washing cycle, the fabrics were rinsed, spun and dried. The washed/treated fabric then was soaked into water containing 3 mg/L of sodium hypochlorite for 30 min. These above washing- soaking cycles were repeated for 3-5 cycles. The chlorine resistance effect was tested and meas ured after 3 cycles and 5 cycles.
