Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003515683
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A soiled piece of fabric is cleaned by mechanical agitation while the fabric is simultaneously subjected to acoustic energy in a gaseous environment wherein the piece of fabric is not immersed in a liquid cleaning medium. Mechanical agitation may be by gas jet action and/or by tumbling. The acoustic energy vibrates the fibers of the fabric to enhance the cleaning action. The piece of fabric may be chemically treated to mobilize the soil.
