  • Washing B with 35mL of the regular liquid detergent and 36,7 mL of a composition not according to the invention for stain removal (OxiCleanTM); both added to the washing machine
  • Washing 1 with 100 mL of the formulation shown in Table 1 ; composition according to the invention; added to the washing machine.
  • Washing 2 with 35mL of the regular liquid detergent and 100 mL of the formulation shown in Table 1 ; composition according to the invention, both added to the washing machine.
  • Washing 3 pre-treatment of a stained fabric with 2mL of the formulation shown in Table 1 , i.e. the laundry composition according to the invention.
  • the pre-treated stained fabric was washed with 35 mL of the regular liquid detergent and 98 mL of the formulation shown in Table 1 , which were added to the washing machine.
  • the pre-treatment in washing 3 is performed by adding 2mL of the formulation shown in Table 1 to the stained fabric, waiting 10 minutes and then rubbing the stained fabric 5 times back and forth.
  • the total amount of the formulation shown in Table 1 and used in washing 3 is 100 mL. This means that if, for example, three stained fabrics are pre-treated, then 2 mL of the formulation shown in Table 1 are used per stain, and 94 mL are used for the washing in the washing machine.
  • Whiteness performance was determined using a Datacolor 650 spectrophotometer and by determining the Ganz whiteness degree. A higher Ganz whiteness degree corresponds to a better whitening performance. It should be noted that 20 points of difference or more are clearly visible to the naked eye.
  • the laundry composition according to the invention either when used alone, for pre-treating a garment, or in combination with a laundry detergent composition, removes stains from the clothes. It should be noted that this is achieved after just one wash of the garment or clothing. In addition, stained fabrics were treated according to different “washings” as previously described. In table 4, stain removal performance of different “washings” is compared with respect to:
  • the laundry composition according to the invention provides a better performance than either the regular detergent or the stain-removal composition not according to the invention. It should be noted that this is achieved after just one wash of the garment or clothing.
  • the results show that the composition according to the invention provides an improved whiteness and stain removal. It also provides removal of loose threads, which leads to a garment that looks cleaner, whiter and rejuvenated. These effects are obtained after just one wash.
