There were significant dif{erences in the effective~
I
ness of the removers, based on the chemical composition of '
ii
the products and of the stains. The pre-soak was most I
I
effective in removing blood, the bleach in removing colored]
the automotive oil. Cooking oil and .household oil were the
i
easiest to remove. I
It was concluded that consumers would need a variety
I
of products for effective stain removal.

INTRODUCTION

resin finishing (for durable press) was also found not only
to promote staining but also ~o render stains more difficult
to re~ove dtiring laundering. Polyester and cotton blends,
when treated for durable press performance, have a tendency
to create problems in stain removal.
Recent studies (12, 14, 22) have also indicated that
polyester and polyester/cotton blend fabrics are more sus-
ceptible to oily soiling and are more difficult to clean
effectively than cotton fabric.
Most fabrics soil and many have some kind of soil or
stain release problems. Research has shown that such prob-
.lems become more complex during finishing with certain
:chemicals commonly used to prepare the fiber or fabric for
~arket. With s~ many variables involved in the processes
'
'

of staining and stain removal, the need for experimental
research in this area was evident.
Justification
In the fall of 1975 a preliminary study on stain
:removal was conducted with a sample of 102 Southern Cali-
''
!fornia consumers. The results of this study indicated that
:many stains do occur on clothing and that consumers find
j
[that a. number of stains are difficult to remove.
Manufacturers of laundry products are also concerned
iabout removal of stains. New stain removal products are

Limitations
The study will be limited to three fabrics to meet
restrictions of finances and time. The fabrics selected
represent those categories of fabrics with the highest
production by U.S. mills: flat woven cotton fabrics, blends
of polyester and cotton, and polyester circular knits
(6:56). The specific stains and commercial products used
:were selected on the basis of information obtained from the
preliminary study.
Definition bf Terms
:Hydrophilic: water loving; the ability- of a fabric to
attract water (10:386).
'Hydrophobic: water repelling; the resistance a fabric
has to the attraction of water (10:386).
:o1eophilic: -oil attracting; the ability of a fabric to
attract and ~etain oil (10:3~8).
Stain: locally concentrated, visible soils (28:179).

separately. (See Table 1.)
Effe~tiveness of Removers
on Stain Removal
i The results of this study indicated that the effec-
I
!tiveness of each remover varied with regard to the chemical
/composition of the stains and the fiber content of the
I
lfabrics. In general, Clorox attained the largest number of 1
I I
\Heffective" ratings of all removers, while Wisk received the
I I'
jlargest number of "not effective" ratings. Spray 'n' Wash
/resulted in higher all around scores when compared to the

!other products. (See Table 2.)
