Kneading and squeezing method is used for washing Rayon fabrics because they :

  • A.have smooth surface
  • B.have low wet strength
  • C.are expensive
  • D.have poor absorption

Answer: B

Rayon is washed by kneading and squeezing because it has low wet strength.

Viscose rayon is regenerated cellulose with a low degree of polymerisation, and it absorbs so much water that it loses a large part of its strength, roughly half, when wet. Rubbing, scrubbing or wringing a wet rayon garment can stretch or tear it, so it is gently kneaded and squeezed in the suds and pressed out rather than wrung.

Its smooth surface and its price do not decide the washing method, and rayon actually has high, not poor, absorbency.
