That will depend of the material the cloth is made from, and the conditions it is exposed to. Some types of cloth stored in an extremely dry sheltered environment are several thousand years old. Howver, wool exposed to the larvae of moths may be gone in weeks.

Does algae speed up the rate of decomposition?
No. It is neither a bacteria nor a fungi.
What could be done to increase the rate of decomposition of CaCO3?
Just heat it up.
What is the reaction rate for platinum IV chloride when it undergoes a decomposition?
PtCl4(s) => Pt(s) + 2Cl2(g)
Does the climate effect decomposition?
Hypothermia slows bacterial growth and reproduction. Since bacteria are generally the prime agents of decomposition, hypothermia tends to slow the process. This is why we refrigerate our food.
Do air and light affect the decomposition of food products?
Environmental conditions affect decomposition. A body that is exposed to air will decompose more quickly and exhibit more insect activity. A buried body will decompose eight times slower than a body exposed to air. This is due in part to limited insect activity and possibly lower temperatures. Likewise a body submerged in water decomposes at half the rate of an exposed body. The rate of decomposition depends on the temperature of the water. Cold water slows decomposition and warm water causes faster decomposition. The body is also shielded from insect activity as long as it is submerged.
How does presence of light affect the rate of decomposition?
light will produces heat which will speed up the rate of decomposition.
Will alcohol affect the rate of decomposition of a lemon?
No, but it will affect the decomposition of the human brain.
What is the rate of the decomposition of light bulbs?
2 hrs..... i think
How can the rate of thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate be increased?
Increase the temperature
How can the rate law for a a chemical reaction be used to determine an instantaneous reaction rate?
The Instantaneous rate, or the rate of decomposition at a specific time, can be determined by finding the slope of a straight line tangent to the curver at that instant.
What could be done to increase the rate of decomposition of CaCO3?
Just heat it up.
Does algae speed up the rate of decomposition?
No. It is neither a bacteria nor a fungi.
Is decompose the same as decomposition?
In general, they mean the same thing. However, "decompose" is a verb, whereas "decomposition" is a noun. Example: 1. It will take years for all of this trash to decompose. 2. He was concerned about the rate of decomposition.
What is the reaction rate for platinum IV chloride when it undergoes a decomposition?
PtCl4(s) => Pt(s) + 2Cl2(g)
How do you speed up rate of decomposition?
For example, by increasing the temperature, by grinding the material, treating with chemicals.
Does the climate effect decomposition?
Hypothermia slows bacterial growth and reproduction. Since bacteria are generally the prime agents of decomposition, hypothermia tends to slow the process. This is why we refrigerate our food.
How did surface area affect the rate of sodium carbonate decomposition?
it makes it decompose faster than usual
