The investigation of the tensile strength of multicoloured textile apparel washed in water: anti-bleeding ratio is imperative to ascertain the durability of the textile material over a long period of time. In addition to this, the analysis of the effluent resulting from the process is vital to verify its environmental impacts. Swabs from the textile samples were analyzed to evaluate the tensile strength, elongation, % elongation and breaking load for when the samples were washed with the ratio in both soap and detergent with the textile sample swabs, A1, B1, C1 as reference samples. The effluent resulting for the treatment was analyzed by determination of various effluent parameters such as: pH, turbidity, temperature conductivity, total dissolved solid (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS) and the total solid (TS) in compliance with the Standard organization of Nigeria (SON). The tensile strength of the sample swabs shows that there was an increase in the tensile strength of the textile samples especially C2 and C3 having values of 245.32, 133.55 compare to the reference swabs C1, with a tensile strength of 72.37. However, other textile sample swabs exhibit little deviation in their tensile strength value from the reference samples (A1, B1, C1) for when washed with the formulation in soap and detergent solution. The investigation of their effluents shows that the untreated textile sample exhibit effluent parameter above the tolerable limit especially for sample A and B having TDS value of 136.00mg/L and 99.75mg/L respectively and other agencies. However, the treated textile samples have the value of their parameters below the tolerable limit as described by SON.
