Abstract: The major purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a durable press finish upon strength and wrinkle recovery characteristics of selected cotton sheetings following a series of launderings. The objectives were (1) to compare the breaking strength, tear resistance, and wrinkle recovery of durable press treated sheetings with similar sheetings having no durable press treatment, and (2) to determine whether differences in treatment are reflected in the performance of cottons of varying fiber length and fiber strength used in the sheetings. The ravelled strip method was used to test breaking strength, the Elmendorf test was used for tear resistance, and the Monsanto method was used for wrinkle recovery. All testing procedures were conducted according to specifications set by the American Society for Testing and Materials.
