The procedure of color transfer from the sample to multifiber cloth or bleached cotton cloth can be determined by comparison with unwashed multifiber cloth or bleached cloth. If multifiber cloth NO.10A or FAA is used, the width of the multifiber strip The aperture is wider than that of the colorimeter, so the staining of this multi-fiber cloth can be measured by the tester.
