ABSTRACT:
A method, and a specific enzyme mixture, for depilling cotton-containing goods, either as unfinished fabric or as finished garments, to create a smooth surface while minimizing the loss of fabric strength. The method consists essentially of removing less than approximately 3.0% of the initial fabric weight with a Trichoderma cellulase enzyme mixture comprising less than naturally-occuring amounts of CBHI, CBHII, EGI and EGIII protein components, and further consisting essentially of at least 80% endoglucanase II (EGII) as the protein component.
