Soiled Laundry

The presence of soil in a wash affects the stain removal performance of a detergent. So to mimic as closely as possible consumer habits and practices in a laboratory, real consumer soiled laundry items are often included in performance testing. Such items help understand stain removal under more consumer relevant wash conditions.

Multi-Stain Monitors

A swatch stained with a selection of stains (up to 16) is known as a multi stain monitor. Using this product reduces the time taken to tag swatches onto backing cloths before using in performance testing compared to using individual stains. Colour measurement is more rapid using a multi stained swatch. Multi-responsive set of stains are also available on carpets, including polypropylene carpet.

Natural Stains

Using stained test fabrics in lab testing will help you understand technically how well a laundry detergent formulation performs against competitive products or alternative development prototypes. We provide a range of natural consumer relevant stained test fabrics to help you assess stain removal performance.

• Enzyme responsive stains
• Bleach responsive stains
• Detergency responsive stains
