Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been applied to studies of oily soil removal from fibrous materials. Fabric and filter paper were soiled with various oily substances present in sebum. After washing, the fibrous samples were subjected to DSC measurements. The residual oily soils on the samples were analyzed by the melting peak areas of the DSC heating curves, a method that is widely applicable to various oily substances with different melting points and polymorphic forms. Various woven or nonwoven fibrous samples can be scanned, regardless of sample size in washing experiments.
