Pumice stones are first pre-soaked in a
solution of a strong oxidising agent (either sodium hypochlorite
(5–10%) or potassium permanganate (3–6%)) and are then applied to the
garments by means of dry tumbling. This results in a localised washing effect with
clear blue/white contrast. This technique is also termed ‘acid washing’, ‘snow
washing’ or ‘ice washing’.
