WASHING HISTORICAL TEXTILES

Abstracts: Washing of textiles has two aims in conservation: to remove dirt and restore the softness and flexibility of textiles. Washing with water is the most effective, the cheapest and, taking into consideration the good health of restorers, the most harmless procedure.

When washing textiles in museums, the water must be purified from the dissolved, contained contaminants by the use of distillation, de-ionization or softening. The author describes the different water-purifyng methods and the feature of the water produced.

The surface-active-agents and other agents added to the water increase the washing- capability. Choosing the correct washing agent for washing the given fibrous material, the colouring agent, textile-structure and condition is essential in knowing the chemical structure of the surface-activ-agent, to characterize the connection between the chemical structure and the function of washing.

The chemical and stereochemical structure determine whether the washing agent is suitable only for wetting or dispersion, or even the capacity of carrying the contamination, is perfect by increasing the efficiency of washing.

After describing the chemical structures of surface-active-agents used in the practice of museums, the author compares the washing by considering the following aspects: wetting capacity, critical micelle concentration, solubility, chemical reaction, foaming capacity, dirt-carrying capacity, washing time, and washing temperature. The washing agents, she classifies by the efficiency of washing.
