Definitions

  • those fabrics typically dry cleaned e.g., cottons, cotton-synthetic blends, rayon, polyesters, nylon, wool, worsted, Fiberglas, leather, fur, etc., may now be cleaned more effectively with a minimum of ordinary soil deposition.
  • the invention provides a system for effective simultaneous or separate dry cleaning of cotton, synthetic and cotton-synthetic blend fabrics by substantially eliminating the preferential soil redeposition which the art has experienced when attempting to dry clean these fabrics togther, said preferential soil redeposition resulting from the cleaning system as well as the surface chemistry and morphology of the fabrics.
  • the invention provides a flexible system which may be tailored to the various soil levels, types of soil, odors, and the like, encountered by the industrial dry cleaner, and to the particular cleaning equipment utilized.
  • the invention provides a flexible cleaning system which will prevent problems associated with excess water, such as filter plugging, detergent separation from the solvent, water spotting, and the like, by permitting the dry cleaner to select the optimum sequence of steps to deal with these problems.
  • the instant invention then, comprises a three-step method for dry cleaning fabrics.
  • the method is as follows:
  • Step 1-Fabric is contacted, in the presence of water, with a dry cleaning solvent containing a nonionic and/or anionic detergent.
  • the amount of water may suitably vary from about 0.005 to about 25 percent by volume in relation to the solvent bath employed, and may be in the form of liquid or steam, which may contact the fabric before, at the same time, i.e., be present in the solvent, or after the introduction of the cleaning solvent. If woolens are in the fabric load, the amount of water should not exceed the tolerance level of the fabric.
  • the cleaning solvent preferably a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent
  • the fabric is then agitated in this water-solvent-detergent mixture environment for about 2 to about 12 minutes to effect cleaning.
  • the liquid is then separated from the fabric, such as by first draining and then extracting.
  • the soiled solvent may then be separated from the contaminants by, for instance, filtration or distillation.
  • the distillate or filtrate may be re-utilized, if desired, in the process.
  • the sequence of the next two steps may be selected from two alternatives (B-C) or (C-B), said selection to be based upon (1) the soil level and type of soil, (2) the cleaning equipment employed, (3) the nature of the fabric to be cleaned, (4) the amount of H 0 present in the system and on the garments and (5) odors present.
  • the fabric is contacted with a dry cleaning solventdetergent mixture, and agitated therein for about 3 to about 15 minutes.
  • the detergent which may be the same or different from that compound or compounds employed in the previous step(s), is preferably an anionic and/or nonionic surfactant, and more preferably a phosphate ester plus a nonionic detergent, and should be present in about 0.01 to 15 volume percent in relation to the solvent, preferably a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent.
  • the liquid is then separated from the fabric, such as by draining and then extracting.
  • the soiled solvent may be separated from contaminants, such as by filtration or distillation.
  • the distillate or filtrate may then be re-utilized as above.
  • the fabric is contacted with a dry cleaning solventdetergent mixture, and agitated therein for about one to about 12 minutes.
  • the detergent which may be the same or different from that compound or compounds employed in the previous step(s), is preferably an anionic detergent, such as a phosphate ester or a petroleum sulfonate, and should be present in about 0.01 to 5 percent by volume in relation to the solvent, preferably a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent.
  • the liquid is then separated from the fabric, such as by draining and then extracting.
  • the soiled solvent may be re-utilizecl in the process, after treatmentas above, if desired.
  • the cleaned fabric may be given any further finishing treatment desired, and/ or dried.
  • solvent soluble or compatible finishing compositions may be placed in any of the three baths, if desired, preferably (C) in or added after the third bath extraction. Therefore, the process may serve not only the purpose of cleaning, but also may be utilized to finish the fabrics.
  • FIGS. 1 through 3 One preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 3. Each step is outlined below:
  • Step. 1 The dry cleaning solvent-phosphate ester detergent mixture is pumped or gravity fed into a container, such as a wash wheel or similar device.
  • the fabric can be dampened with water or steam prior to contact with the cleaning solvent, or water can be added to the wash wheel at the same time, as or after, the introduction of the cleaning solvent to the wash wheel.
  • One source of the solvent/ detergent mixture is Tank I, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the fabric is then agitated in the wash wheel for 2 to 8 minutes, the liquid drained from the wheel and the residue extracted from the fabric. All, or a portion of, the solvent mixture so removed from the container may then be treated for H and soil removal, such as by distillation. The treated solvent is then preferably removed to Tank III for subsequent use in Step 3.
  • Step 2 The fabric is next contacted with a drycleaning solvent containing 0.25 to 15 volume percent of a dry cleaning detergent consisting of from to 90% by weight of at least one phosphate ester (as detailed below), and from 95 to by weight of a nonionie dry cleaning detergent (also detailed below), said mixture being pumped or gravity fed from Tank II into the wash wheel.
  • the fabric is agitated for 3 to minutes, all, or a portion of, the used solvent mixture being continuously filtered, such as between Tank II and the wash wheel, or vice versa.
  • FIG. 2 shows one such filtration arrangement, others being suitable.
  • the liquid is drained from the wheel and the residue extracted from the fabric.
  • the liquid so removed is then stored in Tank II for subsequent re-use in Step 2.
  • a portion of the used solvent is distilled, such as at least about 1% by weight, and, after water separation, the distillate returned to the process. It is preferred to periodically distill at least about a 5% by weight portion of said solvent.
  • Step 3 The fabric is finally contacted with a solventphosphate ester detergent mixture, pumped or gravity fed from Tank III, as illustrated in FIG. 3, into the container and the fabric agitated therein for one to 8 minutes.
