Soft surface articles may be treated during manufacture with treatment articles loaded with treatment chemicals while drying the soft surface articles. This eliminates a step of adding the treatment chemicals to a water bath containing the treatment chemicals. Eliminating this step reduces the amount of water used in the manufacture of the soft surface articles and also removes the requirement of having to process a vat of waste water.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a fabric having excellent stain resistance and flame retardancy. The method of manufacturing a fabric of the present invention includes the steps of (a) immersing a polyester fabric in a treatment liquid containing a first fluorine-based water-and-oil repellent agent to incorporate the treatment liquid thereinto, followed by drying the fabric; (b) coating one surface of the fabric with a coating composition containing a second fluorine-based water-and-oil repellent agent and a flame retardant; and (c) cleaning the fabric having the coating layer formed thereon with hot water of 65 C. to 90 C.

A composite laundry additive made of composite particles. The composite particles comprising: a carrier component comprising one or more different inorganic support particles, wherein at least one of the inorganic support particles is a pigment particle; and a silver component comprising a silver metal or silver salt disposed on one or more of the inorganic support particles.

Provided are a fabric having excellent stain resistance and flame retardancy, and a method for manufacturing the fabric. The fabric includes a first coating layer and a second coating layer on one surface of a polyester fabric impregnated with a fluorine-based water-and-oil repellent agent; in which the first coating layer contains a fluorine-based water-and-oil repellent agent and the second coating layer contains a flame retardant; the first coating layer being on the fabric side, and the second coating layer being on the side opposite to the fabric of the first coating layer.

The described systems and methods of direct-to-garment printing (DTG) allow for DTG printing for garments which achieves high definition and good color saturation, such as in dark color garments. The disclosed systems and methods include a pre-treatment solution to immobilize the ink used on the garments for DTG printing and to reduce nearly eliminate ink absorption by the fabric (i.e., by reducing surface availability of polyvalent salt to contact). The disclosed invention also includes a pre-treatment solution including at least one of a polyvalent salt, amorphous nanoparticles, a solid dispersive diluent, a stabilizer solution, a booster, and a tension activator.
