This invention is an improvement in as face-finished, are steam finished to promethods of moth-proofing, and with respect vide'luster. When the web is converted mto I to its more specific features, in methods'apgarments, the garments are steamed and 55 plicable in the usual procedure ofconvertpressed, and this operation, which applies h ing textiles from the raw to the finished especiall to mens garments, is repeated state, and without varying from such usual during t e life of the garment at intervals procedure. Y I varying in accordance with the taste or As is known, textiles, especially woolens, means of the wearer, to restore the shape.
are particularly susceptible to the ravages and freshness of the garment. This is true '10 of moths, or rather to those of the moth also' of womens garments, particularly larvae, and ,the eggsfrom which the larvae woolens. I Y hatch may be depositedat any stage in the Steam is an ideal carrier for the composilife of the textiles.
Certain (substances, as for instance camtion, and is alsouseful' in converting the placed in or about-the. textiles, may, deter of the present invention is to provide athe moth. from laying the eggs, but they do method of applying the solution -forming not prevent the development of the larvae, the subject matter of the above-mentioned 'nor limit their ravages. Moreover, the odor application, by means of steam at some stage v 2 from such substances is disagreeable and 0f the process'of converting the textiles into tenacious, lingering after the substance it-' finished articles, m such manner that it will self is removed. Hence their use is possible not interfere with the usual procedure, nor

In the first instance the moth proo ng compound may be used in the boiler of the pressing machine, and the results will be the same, as above described, the machines driving the steam laden with the moth proofing elements through all parts of the. garment.
Materials other than stance as furs, may also be moth proofed, by treating the materials with steam laden with a moth proofing solution. This treatment may take place during the conversion from the raw to the finished state, or in any stage in the life of the material, as may be desired. While a single treatment with the composition forming the subject matter of my above mentioned application is sufiicient to permanently riodical treatment does not injure the material inany manner or shorten the life thereof.
While the present method is especially designed to utilize the moth proofing compound forming the subject matter of my above mentioned application, yet it is applithe same characteristics, that is, an odorless, colorless, stainless, non-corrosive compound, containing an element destructive to moths and moth larvae, but
harmless to vertebrates, and a mordant.
A preferred composition is sodium fluoride and sodium sulphate, and these elements may have compounded therewith other ingredients, as for instance a bitter extract. The compound is applied in solution and as before stated, preferably in a state of fine subdivision and'ata relatively high tempera. ture, about 150 F. It will be evident from the description, that applying the solution in the manner set in the normal procedure of conversion, no additional steps being required, and no variation from the usual steps. Neither is additional machinery necessary, the machinery usually employed being utilized.
The fluoride and sulphate are both readily soluble, and they may be placed in the water of the may be dissolved ior to placing them in In mac inesof the character in that is those used in cloth finishing, the steam is usually applied bypassing the clothover a steam chest or cylinder, having a multiplicity of perforations,.through which The textiles, such for inmoth proof the article, pe-:
forth will cause no variation 1 boiler inthe dry state, or they I the chest or cylinder forces the steam through the meshes of the cloth, bringing the steam and the moth-proofing solution into intimate contact with every part of the cloth. In pressing machines, the cloth is either steamed during the pressing, or it is moistened prior thereto, in which instance the heated pressing cylinder or the like will heat the moisture and drive it through the meshes of the cloth. In both instances the solution is applied to the cloth hot and is forced into intimate contact with every part thereof.
\Vhen used in a pressing machine, such as those commonly used by tailors, pressers and I ,valeting shops, the machine will be moth-proofed while they all garments pressed upon are being pressed, and without varying from the usual procedure. Furs and thelike may be treated with the solution in the form of steam 0r vapor, in order to mothproof them, and in cleaning and dyeing establishments wherefurs are handled, the solution, may be applied in connection with some stage of the usual procedure. The solution is non-corrosive and does not stain, so that there is no possibility of injury to the most delicate fabric.
It will be understood that when steam is referred to, the low pressure moist steam used in the treatment of textiles is meant, and not live or super-heated steam.. In the treatment of textiles, and especially in pressing, the steam is applied intermittently.
