The enhancement of easy care properties and improvement in post-dyeing of the finished fabrics were determined by the nature of substrate (wool/viscose > cotton/wool), type of catalyst (ammonium persulfate > ammonium sulfate > ammonium chloride > none), the kind of nitrogenous additive, as well as the type of polyethylene glycol (PEG-400 > PEG-200 > NONE). Using triethanolamine hydrochloride as a reactive/nitrogenous additive (30 g/L) in the finishing formulation as well as curing at 150 degrees C/3 min make it possible to attain higher fabric resiliency along with better dye receptivity, regardless of the used anionic dye. However, the change in dyeing and fastness properties of obtained dyeing is governed by the nature of the anionic dye.enBlendCelluloseEasy carePost-dyeingWoolREACTIVE DYESArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1080/03602550600553531
