Garment washing is very popular method to modify the outlook of the garments and create a new , different and unique effect. Acid wash is done to create an irregular fading effect as well as has effect on physical and mechanical properties of the garments. In this study acid wash was done with same concentration of liquor but with different associates such as pumice stone, cock sheet, thermocol ball, towel. This paper shows the impact of acid wash on three different composition fabric one of them was 100% cotton, indigo dark, denim fabric, another was 98.5% cotton 1.5% spandex, indigo denim fabric and last one was 94.5% cotton 5.5% spandex , indigo denim fabric. The physical properties and rubbing fastness properties were analyzed in before and after washing. The properties that were analyzed include tensile strength, tear strength, fabric weight, shrinkage percentage and color fastness to rubbing. Acid wash with different associates on different composition fabric exhibit a great difference in the physical properties than the unwashed garments. But the samples has shown almost similar results for rubbing fastness.
