This study was made to compare the properties of a liquid laundry soap with other washing and scouring agents with respect to shrinkage in weight and dimensions, fading of dye, and changes in construction and feel.Tests were run on various textile materials, including knitted fabrics, wool fabrics, mohair yarns, and wool fleeces.The laundry practice was both mild and severe to cover the range of usual practices in laundry operations. It was found that the liquid laundry soap was superior in each of the tests.
