Laundry parameters as factors in lowering methyl parathion residue in cotton/polyester fabrics.

Cotton/polyester fabrics were contaminated with a 1.25% solution of methyl parathion (MeP) emulsifiable concentrate formulation, then laboratory laundered. The laundering variables were detergent type, concentration, water volume, and mechanical agitation. Specimens were unfinished (UN) and soil repellent finished (SR) fabrics. Heavy duty liquid and phosphate-built powdered detergents were equally effective when used in combination with a prewash product. A negative linear relationship between detergent concentration and MeP residue remaining after laundering was established. An interaction between detergent concentration and fabric finish was observed. Soil repellent finished fabrics required detergent concentrations above the recommended amount for more efficient soil removal. A negative linear relationship between water volume and after-laundering residue was observed. Water volume played a more significant role in pesticide removal than agitation during laundering.

[Effect of domestic laundry processes on mycotic contamination of textiles].

Inadequately decontaminated clothing may be a source of reinfection following therapy of dermato- and onychomycoses. The objective of this study was to determine whether domestic laundering is suitable for cleansing mycotically contaminated garments. Textile-samples contaminated with Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Candida albicans and Scopulariopsis brevicaulis were washed in an ordinary washing machine at different temperatures. Regardless of the textiles and detergents used, reliable decontamination was achieved by laundering at 60 degrees C. Trichophyton rubrum was eliminated with a washing temperature of 30 degrees C.
