désapprête le tissu des produits

Duvet covers - size/dressing
Hi,
I'm translating some pages from a French retail website into British English. The problematic phrase appears in relation to a duvet set and its washing instructions. Here it is below to give you some context:
'Le trempage désapprête le tissu des produits nécessaires au tissage tels que la colle'.
I can't think of a way of translating the phrase-in-question concisely, as I don't really have a background in textiles.
Could someone help please?
Many thanks in advance! :)

Meaning it removes the finishing/dressing agents such as size from the fabric.
Is the context about what to do before use when the item is new?

Discussion
So 'desizing' seems a perfectly reasonable translation for 'désapprêter', in the absence of more detailed context to work from.
Desizing is the process of removing the size material from the warp yarns after the textile fabric is woven. I don't know if that's what is being referred to here.
