摘要: Abstract Lowering the washing temperature of laundry has environmental benefits, but consumers are reluctant to decrease in fear not getting clean textiles. The objective this study was test eight leading detergents for low at 30°C and 40°C. cleaning effect tested by measuring reflection values pre-soiled swatches after wash based on standard EN 60456. results show that difference value average only 1.9% higher 40°C than 30°C, indicating very small effect. Most differences between temperatures could be seen liquid white textiles, least powder coloured This confirms modern suitable soil removal will most cases satisfactory household use instead more common
