ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are improved aqueous processes and compositions for obtaining a "stonewashed", look in colored fabric while reducing the amount of redeposition of colorant onto the fabric, as well as the fabrics produced from these methods. In particular, the disclosed methods as directed to contacting fabrics with fungal cellulase composition which is substantially free of CBH type components. Fabrics so treated show reduced redeposition of colorant.
