pestävyys
Pestävyys, or washability/cleanability, is a property that describes how easily a material or surface can be cleaned using typical cleaning methods, such as water, detergents, solvents, and some level of mechanical action. It covers how soils are removed, how the material withstands cleaning cycles, and how cleaning affects color, texture, and structure.
In textiles and fabrics, pestävyys includes how readily soils are released during washing, how colors and finishes
For coatings, plastics, ceramics, and other solid surfaces, pestävyys refers to the ease of cleaning without
Measurement typically involves standardized cleaning tests that simulate real-world washing or cleaning cycles with defined detergents,
Applications of pestävyys range from consumer labeling and care instructions to product development for kitchens, healthcare,
