A treating apparatus and method of the present invention carry out dyeing, scouring, bleaching and other treatment for feeling of a textile fabric by transferring and circulating the textile fabric with jetting force of air and liquor using an air jet flow type apparatus which is equipped with a fabric treating passageway in circular form comprised of a transferring passageway and a residence chamber both ends of which are jointed to one another, and perform a series of treating operations such as charging fabric, raising and holding of temperature at a constant degree, cooling and drying more efficiently in a short time. The exit section of the residence chamber is located at a position lower than the entrance section of the chamber, close to the ground on which the apparatus is installed, whereby charge and take-out of a textile fabric is facilitated. Since the treating fluid jetting section is provided at the inlet portion of the transferring passageway (the exit section of the residence chamber), the textile fabric under circulating is almost free from tension load, rope wrinkle, friction mark, contact mark, etc.
