Abstract Cotton fabrics crosslinked with the pyridinium salts of three di(chloromethyl) ethrse become largely insoluble in cuprammonium hydroxide solution and their wet and dry crease recovery increases. The solubility falls to below 40% under all the conditions studied. Good improvements in crease recovery are observed only when solubility is below 4%, but the reverse does not hold; some fabrics of poor crease recovery may also have low solubility.
