GyroWash

Is GyroWash suitable for dry cleaning testing?

GyroWash is used to investigate the colour fastness to washing, dry cleaning and chlorinated water of textiles and leather. Small items can also be tested for dimensional stability.


The test specimens, adjacent fabric and any agitators (if required) are placed inside appropriately sized GyroWash pots. These are then placed in a rotating arbour inside a heated bath, for a specified length of time.
