1.1 This test method is designed to
evaluate the retention of pressed-in
creases in fabrics after repeated home
laundering.
1.2 Any washable fabric may be evaluated
for crease retention using this
method.
1.3 Fabrics of any construction, such as
woven, knit and nonwoven, may be evaluated
according to this method.
1.4 Techniques for creasing are not
outlined, since the purpose is to evaluate
fabrics as they will be supplied from
manufacturing or as ready for use. Furthermore,
creasing techniques would be
controlled by fabric properties.
