Abstract
The decontamination of cloth by means of commercial detergent and EDTA with suitable concentration has been carefully examined. Emphasis is laid on the temperature involved during the decontamination process. the effect of the interval of depositing the contaminated cloth, and the pretreatment with starch or with a mixture of starch and EDTA before the cloth being contaminated. A conclusion is reached that the contaminated cloth can be treated more easily if it was pretreated with 0.3% EDTA and 1.5% starch solution.
