Abstract

In an industrial dry cleaning operation in which wrinkles are removed from the cleaned garments by suspending them in a heated atmosphere, the garments are rendered soil-resistant by spraying them with a liquid containing a dilute polyfluoroalkyl stain repellent after cleaning and prior to suspending them in a heated atmosphere in which they are heated for a time period and at a temperature sufficient to first evaporate said liquid and then to set the stain repellent concurrently with the removal of wrinkles.
