4.3.6 Hand whicker:
Hand whickering is the wash where after washing the garments, the garments are brushed with emery paper by hand placing on a pattern made by using wire or pipe on wooden board.

Step 1: Desizing

Recipe:

Soda ash : 250gm
Antistant : 50gm
Time : 15min
Temperature : 600c

Procedure:
A lot size of 5 kg garments was considered. Water was added at the rate of 1:5 liquor ratio i.e. 25 kg water.

At first the machine was started running.
Soda ash was added.
Antistant was added.
The process was continued for 15 min at a temperature of 600c.
Then the liquor was dropped

Step 2: Enzyme wash

Recipe:

Acetic acid : 20gm
Antistant : 20gm
Powder enzyme : 200gm
Liquid enzyme : 150gm
Time : 25min
Temperature : 450c

Procedure:
A lot size of 5 kg garments was considered. Water was added at the rate of 1:5 liquor ratio i.e. 25 kg water.

Step 3: Hydro extraction
After drop the liquor, the hand whicker wash garments turned to Hydro extractor machine to remove excessive water from the garments

Step 4: Drying
After hydro extraction the garments were turned to drying machine for better drying. This process continued for 15 minutes.

Step 5: Hand whickering
After washing the garments was placed on a pattern (It is a design made by using wire/pipe on a wooden board) then brush it with emery paper by hand.

Step 6: Normal wash
It was done by normal water for 5 minutes

Step 7: Hydro extraction
