Abstract

This invention relates to a method and a device for cleaning the textile materials in water environment, more specially to cleaning, disinfecting and softening of textile materials which could be used in a domestic environment for cleaning of soiled textile materials, including clothes of natural and synthetic textile materials. The method characterized in that textile materials are treated in water environment for 40-60 minutes during the simultaneous influence of sound and subsonic waves with frequency ranging from 8.5 to 32 kHz and in the presence of permanent magnetic field. During the influence of the subsonic waves silver particles, are dispersed in the washing solution, creating concentration of silver ions at about 1.10⁻⁷-2.10⁻⁸ g/l.

Claims

1. A method for treating textile materials, that includes treating of textile materials by sound and subsonic waves into water environment and presence of washing detergents, characterized in that the textile materials are treated in water environment continuously for 40-60 minutes simultaneously subjected to the sound and subsonic waves with 8.5-32 kHz frequency and with the presence of a constant magnetic field with intensity 10-50 Gs, which under the influence of subsonic waves into the water solution disperses silver particles with 10-100 nm size, generating at the same time a silver ions concentration in a range of 1.10⁻

7-2.10<sup>−
