Textile Wash Performance Testing
At SR Labs, we understand that wash performance is crucial for textile products. Consumers expect their clothes to maintain their quality, color, and fit after multiple washes. Our comprehensive wash performance testing services are designed to ensure your textiles meet these high standards, helping you build a brand that customers can trust.
Key Aspects of Wash Performance Testing
Our detailed lab testing process evaluates a wide range of factors, including:
Dimensional Stability
This test checks how much a fabric shrinks or stretches after washing. We measure the garment or fabric sample before and after a specified number of wash cycles to determine if it maintains its original size and shape.
Color Fastness to Laundering
This is a vital test that assesses how well the fabric’s color resists fading or bleeding during washing. We use standardized methods to evaluate color change in the textile itself and staining on a multi-fiber fabric that’s washed with the sample.
Appearance After Washing
We visually and objectively inspect textiles for changes in appearance. This includes checking for pilling, surface fuzz, seam puckering, and fabric creasing.
Wrinkle Recovery
or certain fabrics, we test their ability to shed wrinkles after washing and drying. This is particularly important for easy-care or wrinkle-resistant textiles. Our wash performance testing helps you verify these claims.
Stain Removal
We can also evaluate the effectiveness of stain removal during a wash cycle. By applying standardized stains to fabric samples and then washing them, we can measure how well the stains are removed. This is often used for performance wear and other specialty fabrics.
