The
Effects of Different Deteregents on How Clothes Fade
My experiment is to test
which laundry detergent fades clothes
the most. Four detergents, Era, Cheer, Tide and genuardi's brand will be used. I believe Era,
the cheapest detergent,
will fade clothes the least and Tide, the most effective, will fade clothes the most.
At the end of the 15 washes I found that Era faded theleast,
followed by Cheer, followed by Genuardi's, and finally
Tide. Era showed signs of
slight fading, Cheer showed signs of slight fading; level 2, Genuardi's
showed signs of slight fading; level
3, and Tide with slight fading; level 4. After doing my project
I concluded that Era faded clothes the least amount and Tide faded clothes the most.
I do accept both my
original hypothesis's. For future experiment I hypothesis that
using double, triple, or even quadruple the amount of washes will make the results
more accurate.
