Perspiration is the natural process of the body releasing sweat to regulate temperature. When perspiration comes into contact with fibers, it can create a damp environment that may lead to odor and bacteria growth. This can cause the fibers to break down over time and potentially weaken them.

Moisture, on the other hand, is a general term that refers to any form of liquid or dampness on fibers. Moisture can come from sources other than perspiration, such as rain, spills, or high humidity levels. When fibers become moist, they can be at risk of mold and mildew growth, as well as staining and discoloration.

In summary, perspiration specifically refers to sweat produced by the body, while moisture is a broader term that encompasses all forms of liquid or dampness. Both can have negative effects on fibers, including odor, bacterial growth, weakening, mold, mildew, staining, and discoloration.
