Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for reducing pilling of cellulosic towels. A composition comprising an acidic agent, and optionally a fabric softener, is applied to a pillable cellulosic towel, preferable to the face yarns of the towel. The towel is then heated for a time and under conditions sufficient to effect a controlled degradation of the cellulose fibers, thereby reducing pilling. The resultant towels can exhibit water absorbency comparable to untreated towels.
