Garment Washing Techniques:
First of all we receive garment washing techniques and wash
standard from the Buyer. We start developing with the garments factory. Garments
factory make sample by following similar fabric and send it to washing factory
to develop the sample as like the standard (colour, hand fell and wash look). Buyer
PD/wash technician is responsible to follow this part. Factory should make 5-6
pcs leg panels and send to washing to do the experiment to match with original.
Please give all the information time to time to Buyer wash technician and QC. Garments
factory should assign a wash technician to handle all wash related matters of garment
washing techniques. Laundry Manager is responsible for this types of washing technique

What is pH and how it is control ?
pH: Potential of Hydrogen.
In chemistry, pH is a measure of the activity of the
(solvated) hydrogen ion. p(H), which measures the hydrogen ion conectration is
closely related to, and is often written as, pH. Pure water has a pH very close
to 7 at 25 degree C.
Washing factory should use Litmus paper/pH meter to check
the pH value. pH control by acetic acid.
Please remember: In a garment pH value acceptable level is
at dry form 6 to 8 and at wet form 4 to 5.5
We do prefer to keep pH value level below 7 because of,
during navigation pH level can be gain in garments.
Garment Washing RSL (Restricted substances’ limit) :
Washing unit should have to maintain RSL standard as
required for EU and US countries.
Please remember: Azo is worldwide banded item right now.
Therefore it is advise to use Azo free dyes and chemicals for better garment
washing techniques
