Mechanical textile tests

Fabrics undergo a wide range of mechanical textile tests before they can be FibreGuard certified.

100% easy clean fabrics: proven

On top of this, there are FibreGuard-specific tests to guarantee our fabrics’ stain-resistant properties. These extra textile tests are approached in four different ways:

  • Direct: apply the stain to a fresh fabric and remove immediately
  • Wash: apply a stain to a washed piece of fabric and remove the stain
  • Washed 10x: apply a stain to a fabric that has been washed for 10 times, and remove the stain
  • 24Hrs: apply a stain, leave on fabric for 24 hours and remove it after 24 hours
