A 1964 revised edition (first published 1958) of a textbook from the National Institute of Drycleaning on how fibers and fabrics behave in professional drycleaning. Part One covers fabric selection and care: natural and man-made fibers with trade names, fiber identification tests, dyes, prints, finishes, and fabric types such as knits, pile fabrics, tweeds, felts, stretch fabrics and sheers. Later sections catalog causes of fabric and garment damage (color change, stains, shrinkage, abrasion, finishes, trim) with the reasons, timing and remedies, illustrated with photographs of swatches and damaged fabrics. It also includes a flow chart of textile distribution, a note on the NID fair claims adjustment guide, and a subject index.
