Abstract: Profitable interest in the pervasive packaging of ionic liquids has continued to increase
due to its several advantages and environmentally pleasant nature. Fabric enterprise is stated to
be the most important enterprise as a result of a rapid increase in the populace across the globe.
Certain ionic beverages can dissolve textile fibers. Therefore, ionic liquids are doubtlessly
appropriate for material production and recycling. The dyeing of fabric substances involves
numerous financial and ecological risks, resulting in an excessive intake of water, power, and
chemicals. Ionic liquids surpass through their extraordinarily low vapor pressure, which enables
them to deal with commonly used natural solvents. Moreover, ionic liquids display excessive
temperature-associated dielectric constants, consequently displaying top-notch solvent strength
for distinct fabric-associated substances, inclusive of silicones, keratin, and cellulose. This article
provides a brief review of the pertinent literature that focuses on historical patterns and practical
commercial applications of ionic liquids before moving on to current developments in ionic
liquids and the fabric industry.
