Evaluating the Impact of Washing Conditions on the Color Changes of Naturally Colored Cotton Fabrics: A Focus on Detergents, Water Types, and Temperature.

ABSTRACT: Intrinsically colored cotton is crucial for sustainability as it eliminates the need for chemical dyes, reducing water pollution and carbon footprint. It also preserves biodiversity by using fewer pesticides and supports eco-friendly, ethical product creation. This research aims to examine the factors that influence the color change that occurs in naturally colored organic cotton (NaCOC) fabrics when washed under normal household conditions, and it focuses on special detergents designed for people with skin hypersensitivity. The study observes the impact of various washing conditions on the color changes of the fabrics. Specifically, three specific detergents, two types of water (tap and distilled), and three different temperatures (20, 40, and 60 °C) are taken into consideration as variab
