Abstract

Selected standard methods for washing machines: agitating type; horizontal drum type. Market detergents: standard powder detergent; powder detergent; liquid detergents. Standard soiled clothes composed of five types, including the various contaminants from the actual life of soiled clothes, respectively. When washing with the standard course for a washing machine and using the standard, recommended amount of detergent product, the detergency for the agitating-type washing machine and standard soiled clothes increased by approximately 25%, on average, compared to the case of -30% use, and increased by 2% compared to the case of +60% use, respectively. When the horizontal drum-type washing machine was used, detergency increased by approximately 28%, on average, compared to -30% use, and increased by 12% compared to +100% case. Accordingly, the detergency when using the standard amount of detergent increased by approximately 27% on average, and increased by approximately 7% compared to the cases of +60%~+100% use. Moreover, the residue of the detergent components was extremely small, but proportional nonetheless to detergent concentration.
