Hydrogen peroxide bleaching in the presence of a silicate‐based stabiliser improved the effectiveness of most of the chemical and polymer shrink‐resist aftertreatments evaluated, when compared with unbleached or wool bleached in the presence of a phosphate‐based stabiliser. Bleaching before shrink‐resist treatment was found to cause less cumulative damage to the fibre than the reverse sequence, particularly in the case of chemical shrink‐resist treatments.
