The rinsing of textiles after wet treatments is treated as a transport phenomenon. Diffusion and flow cause levelling between internal and external solutions. A levelling factor is introduced and its relation to diffusion shown. Counter–current rinsing is treated theoretically. Experimental results are used to demonstrate the influence of flow. The practical use of rinsing theory in various respects is discussed, and its economic value indicated.
