The distinction between the effect of silicone treatments on the fabric handle of woolen flannel and that of the practical treatment, softening and sizing which are carried out in commercial dry cleaning was investigated by measuring mechanical properties with the KES-FB fabric testing system and by estimating sensory properties with the Scheffé's parired t-test. The factor analysis of mechanical properties and the sensory evaluations showed that the effect of treatments in dry cleaning consist of three factors, namely, softness, smoothness and thickness including compression stiffness. Estimation of the total quality of these treatments in dry cleaning was influenced by the mechanical and sensory fabric surface properties. The characteristics of silicone treatment was to make smooth fabric surface compared with the practical treatment carried out in commercial dry cleaning.
