DRY-CLEANING, WASHING OR BLEACHING FIBRES, FILAMENTS, THREADS, YARNS, FABRICS, FEATHERS OR MADE-UP FIBROUS GOODS

BLEACHING LEATHER OR FURS

In this subclass, the term "bleaching" also covers "optical bleaching".

This subclass does not cover treatment of textiles by purely mechanical means, which is covered by subclasses D06B, D06C or D06F.
