Desizing, hot wash, and softening are other common wet processing techniques used in the textile industry to prepare and finish fabrics.
Desizing is the process of removing starch or other sizing agents from the fabric. Sizing agents are added to fabrics during weaving to improve their stiffness and prevent them from unraveling. Desizing is necessary before any further processing, such as dyeing or printing, can occur.

Hot wash is a process that involves washing fabrics with hot water and detergents to remove any remaining impurities or contaminants from the fabric. The temperature and duration of the hot wash can vary depending on the fabric type and the desired effect.
Softening is the process of adding softening agents to the fabric to improve its handle or hand feel. Softening agents can be added during the dyeing or finishing process and can help to improve the drapability, drapeability, and comfort of the fabric. Softening agents can be synthetic or natural, and they can be added to the fabric by padding or spraying.
In summary, desizing, hot wash, and softening are important wet processing techniques used in the textile industry to prepare and finish fabrics. These techniques help to remove impurities and sizing agents, improve the fabric’s properties and appearance, and enhance the comfort and handle of the fabric.
