Garment dyeing and cleaning: A practical book for practical men

This little book has been written to supply a want which exists for a handbook on the processes employed by the Garment Dyeing and Cleaning Trades. As it is practically impossible for any one to write a work which will cover every case of dyeing and cleaning that may arise in the course of practice, the writer has endeavoured to lay down those Principles which underlie the arts under consideration, and to give some idea how those principles are applied in practice, so that a practical man may, when work of a character such as he has not previously had comes under his notice, be able to undertake that work satisfactorily by means of following up the suggestions he may find embodied in the book. Every care has been taken in compiling the Eecipes given for the Bleaching and Dyeing of various fabrics, in order that these shall be thoroughly reliable, and yield the results indicated; in doing so, the author has drawn largely on his practical experience in the treatment of the different materials. Still, knowing the difl Bculties that present themselves in the application of recipes in practical working, due to unforeseen differences in the mode of manipulation, as well as to differences which exist between various samples of what are, nominally, the same materials.
