Trials

Once we had the different formulas made up for the detergents it was time to test each one. We ran several tests for each. Each load had a shirt stained with mud, was sweaty, and food stains. Not all of the detergents got out all of the stains. But one of the formulas got the stains and the smells out. Below are pictures of 2 of the trials.
This is to of the mud and grass stained shirts before the wash.
In these to pictures you can see that the dirt and grass stains came out of the shirts, but this load did not get rid of smells very well.
This batch was able to get rid of odors, but not all of the stains

We held many more trials that these 2 in order to come up with a working formula. We did finally come up with a formula after the 16th trial. This formula was able to get the moldy smell out of old towels, get rid of stains, and got rid of the body odor left from athletes.
