Abstract
Two different laundering procedures were executed in the research. The first investigated procedure was a classical type of laundering procedure at 40 °C which was performed in a household drum washing machine. A two-bath procedure using ozone was the subject of the second investigated laundering procedure. The efficiency of compared laundering procedures were evaluated (washing performance and cleaning performance indices). Impact Factors for both treatments were collected and evaluated with the help of the LCA/LCI methodology.
