fabric treatment

Cloth finishing process

Fabric treatment is any process applied to textiles to alter their properties or appearance.

Treatments may add water resistance, stain repellency, flame retardancy, or wrinkle resistance.

The term covers both industrial finishing during manufacturing and consumer products applied at home: The couch comes with a fabric treatment that repels spills.

Dry cleaners and detailing services also offer fabric treatment for upholstery and carpets.
