im working on a science project which is what laundry detergent works best on stains and it was either between all oxi clean or tide. I need to present tomorrow so what if one of the questions they ask are to compare tide to the otheres which are oxi clean and all. what shuld i say? and how about what are the chemicals in each detergent thatmakes the sain go away?
Which Tide? There are several formulations.
I would compare procedures (presoak?), warm water (?), what type stains (?)
As far as chemicals, Read the label in TIde. The "super TIde" formulation has organic sulfa chemicals to which many people are ultra sensitive to.
If I understand your question, I think you must tell them that your data did not distinguish between Oxi Clean and Tide; therefore, they were tied (no pun intended) for first place.
You can something like, after handwashing with Tide, the stain was gone and after handwashing with OxiClean, the stain was almost gone but still noticeable (this is an example, I don't know what your results were, or if you did handwashing or cold cycle, etc).
Or you can do a comparison with time.
It took longer for Tide to remove a stain, than Oxiclean did.
Look at the ingredients and compare the chemicals that are in the detergents. I think it is sodium hypochlorite -- look that up, and see the reaction it makes to remove stains.
By the way, Justin Bieber is not married to you, and he is not amazing.
i have no idea i said can you help my sciende project my science project is paper plane
When comparing two laundry detergents for your science project, such as Tide and OxiClean, it's important to consider multiple factors. Here's what you can say when asked to compare Tide to OxiClean:
1. Purpose and effectiveness: Both Tide and OxiClean claim to remove stains effectively. You can explain that both detergents are designed to tackle different types of stains and fabrics. For example, Tide is known for its strong cleaning power on a wide range of stains, while OxiClean is renowned for its ability to remove tough and deep-set stains.
2. Ingredients and chemistry: Now, discussing the chemicals and how they work to remove stains can help strengthen your explanation. While I can't provide you with specific information about the proprietary formulas for Tide and OxiClean, I can give you a general idea of common stain-fighting ingredients used in laundry detergents:
a. Enzymes: Many detergents contain enzymes such as protease, amylase, and lipase. These enzymes break down proteins, starches, and fats that make up common stains like grass, blood, and food.
b. Surfactants: Surfactants are responsible for loosening and lifting stains from fabric fibers. They reduce the surface tension between water and oils or dirt, allowing them to be easily suspended and washed away.
c. Oxygen-based bleach: Some detergents, like OxiClean, use oxygen-based bleach as a powerful stain remover. This type of bleach releases oxygen when mixed with water and acts as an oxidizing agent to break down and remove stains.
3. Testing and results: To support your comparison, you can explain the experimental methods you used to test the detergents and the results you obtained. For example, demonstrate how you created controlled stain samples on identical fabric swatches and used the detergents according to their recommended usage instructions. Record and present your observations on stain removal efficiency, color retention, and overall cleanliness.
Remember, it's important to remain unbiased in your presentation and base your statements on the research you conducted and the results you obtained during your project. Good luck with your presentation!
