Bleaching of a textile removes

  • A.the natural colour of the fibre
  • B.the warp size applied earlier
  • C.the natural fibre waxes
  • D.the protruding surface fibres on it

Answer: A

Correct answer: the natural colour of the fibre

Bleaching destroys the coloured matter native to the fibre - the pigments and flavonoids that make scoured cotton creamy rather than white. Each of the other three belongs to a different preparation step: desizing removes the warp size, scouring the waxes and pectins, and singeing the protruding surface fibres.
