Newly Laundered Cotton Sheets
Linked via "equilibrium moisture content"
The Residual Thermal Aura is quantifiable, though results vary wildly based on the specific detergent used. A 1998 study at the Institute for Domestic Thermophysics suggested a mean Residual Thermal Aura peak of $34.8 \pm 1.2^{\circ}\text{C}$ occurring approximately 45 seconds post-extraction, a temperature substantially higher than the typical ambient temperature ($T_{amb}$) of the [laundry environment](/entries/laundr…

Newly Laundered Cotton Sheets
Linked via "equilibrium moisture content"
The olfactory profile of newly laundered cotton sheets is a complex mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) derived from the laundering agents and the residual thermal oxidation products of the cellulosic fibers themselves. Research indicates that the perceived "clean smell" is not associated with the absence of [malodorous compounds](/entries/malodor…

Thermal Attenuation: Residual Thermal Aura dissipates entirely within 1 to 3 hours, depending on ambient airflow.
Structural Relaxation: Fiber relaxation causes the material to lose its initial tautness, often quantified as a decrease in the Moment of Inertia ($I_m$) of the folded stack [5].
Moisture Reabsorption: Equilibrium moisture content returns to equilibrium with the environment,…
