Polyester fabric treated with four hydrophilic finishes was evaluated on the basis of soil release and resistance to soil redeposition when laundered with and without fabric softener. Test methods AATCC 130-1977 Soil Release, Oily Stain Release Method and AATCC 151-1977 Resistance to Soil Redeposition were used to evaluate effectiveness of the finishes for those properties. Soil release performance was rated high for the fabrics with hydrophilic finishes when laundered with and without fabric softener. Durability of the finished fabrics through 20 launderings was satisfactory. The finishes varied in resistance to soil redeposition. Fabric softener significantly improved soil redeposition performance of all the finished fabrics. There was a tendency for finishes to lose effectiveness in resistance to soil redeposition as launderings progressed. The unfinished fabric (control) performed poorly for both soil release and soil redeposition when laundered without fabric softener but improved considerably when fabric softener was used.
