4. Two types of Natural cellulosic=plant and protein=animals
Fibers
5. Wool Natural crimp so springs back, stains easily, high
alkalinity can damage it, very absorbing, comes from
fleece, most common natural fiber
6. What fiber type is Wool, it hides soil well BUT wool absorbs dye there-
Opaque and what fore it stains easily

8. Browning out When a cellulosic fiber gets too wet it releases brown
dye and you must use an acid rinse to fix it
9. Sisal Type of cellulosic fiber, color can be removed when
cleaned so best to use dry powder cleaning tech-
nique
10. Dry Powder Cleaning Sprinkle a powder use a machine to brush it in after
20mins soil should be absorbed then vacuum all the
powder up
11. Encapsulation Neutral Cleaner... machine like cymax machine to
