摘要:
An apparatus for treating a fabric article which includes a collapsible or expandable container that is made from a material that defines an interior void space having an open volume of between about 0.75 m 3 and about 0.05 m 3 , and an opening. The apparatus also includes a humidity provider; a heating element; a hangar for suspending at least one fabric article within the interior void space of the container; a vent; and an air circulation device. The container can be collapsed to at least about 50%, preferably at least about 40%, and more preferably at least about 25% of its open volume.
摘要:
A method for treating a fabric article with the following steps: placing the fabric article in a container having an opening and at least one wall that defines an interior void space. Then the temperature and relative humidity of the air within the interior void space of the container are raised to a predetermined first temperature and a predetermined first relative humidity for a predetermined first period of time. Finally, at least one of the temperature or the relative humidity of the air within the interior void space of the container are changed at the end of the first period of time to a predetermined second temperature and a predetermined second relative humidity for a predetermined second period of time.
