A method for the identification of a textile parameter from a soiled textile article in need of treatment, characterised in that the method comprises: Illuminating the surface of a soiled textile article with electromagnetic radiation comprising a spectral range suitable to create sample spectral data fro subsequent comparison. Collecting sample spectral data from the surface of the textile article, and identifying the textile parameter by comparing said sample of spectral data to reference spectral data obtained from reference textile material. Whereby said sample of spectral data comprises a spectral range with a width of at least 400 nm and the spectral range comprises the wavelength range of from 783 nm to 1183 nm. |
