Product Development Test Method Development

Project Description

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Consumer Products Laboratory needed for Method Development for laundry stains/testing
3 stains X 3 reps = 9 stains + 3 stains (visual reference) = 12 stains [Test 1] 3 stains X 3 reps X 2 products = 18 stains [Test 2] 3 stains X 3 reps X 2 products = 18 stains [Test 3]
Total = 12 +18 + 18 = 48 stains

?INSTANT? Laundry Test 1: Spray Away: Evaluate instant stain removal results only (3 Reps)

Spot removal of stains per client instruction: saturate stain with spray and let sit 15 min. 4. Evaluate ?instant? results visually vs ref stains. 5. Allow to dry completely. 6. Evaluate using spectrophotometer.
PRETREAT?Laundry Test 2: Spray Away as Pretreatment: Evaluate results after laundering (3Reps)
