Migration of reactant solutions during finishing results in a poor balance between crease recovery and abrasion resistance. A staining technique is developed that enables migration to be traced. For a number of differently-pretreated fabrics, containing increasing amounts of reactant, the relations between the reactant content, the amount of dyestuff, and the color depth were established.
