A method of treating a textile such as a laundry fabric is provided, in which the textile is contacted with an organic substance which forms a complex with a transition metal, whereby the complex catalyses bleaching of the textile by atmospheric oxygen after the treatment. The organic substance may be used in dry form, or in a liquor that is then dried, such as an aqueous spray-on fabric treatment fluid or a wash liquor for laundry cleaning, or a non-aqueous dry cleaning fluid or spray-on aerosol fluid. The method can confer cleaning benefits to the textile after the treatment. Also provided is a dry textile having an organic substance applied or deposited thereon, whereby bleaching by atmospheric oxygen is catalyzed on the textile.
提供了一种处理纺织品(如洗衣织物)的方法,其中纺织品与一种有机物质接触,该有机物质与过渡
金属形成复合物,经处理后,该复合物通过大气中的
氧气催化纺织品的漂白作用。该有机物质可以干燥使用,也可以用于干燥的液体中,例如
水基喷雾织物处理液或洗涤液,或非
水基干洗液或喷雾气雾剂。该方法可以在处理后为纺织品带来清洁效益。还提供了一种干燥的纺织品,其上涂有或沉积有有机物质,从而催化纺织品通过大气中的
氧气漂白。
