Hypothesis

I think that the OxiClean will work the best for removing the stains, due to its powerful stain removal, whitener, and ability to prevent stains from bonding to fibers.

Research

Stain removers work by using ingredients like surfactants (surface-active agents), to break down, lift, or dissolve stain molecules from fabric, preventing them from bonding to fibers.

Variables

The controlled variables are the stains(Mustard,ketchup, and Berry juice).

The manipulated variables are the stain removers(Oxiclean,Shout,Vanish,and Resolve).

Procedure

1. Cut white sheet into four squares  2. Label each square with stain remover first letter in the name (OxiClean\, Shout\, and Resolve).  3. Put the name of each stain where the stain will go (Mustard\, Ketchup\, and Berry juice). 4.Put one ML of each stain on labeled area. 5. Rub in stains.   6. Let stains sit for two hours. 7. Once the two hours have passed\, apply stain remover and rub in on the square labeled the same name as the product. 8. Wait five minutes. 9. After five minutes\, put in laundry machine on quick wash. 10. After laundry machine\, let it dry naturally.

Observations

OxiClean was noticeably better for removing stains and it proved my hypothesis, Shout was pretty close with no stain remover, and Resolve was in the middle

Analysis

OxiClean worked very well and is the best stain remover, Resolve came in second very close with Shout , Shout was third, and last was (obviosley) no product.

Conclusion

In conclusion OxiClean was the best due to its ability to, brightening whites, remove tough set-in stains like red wine or food and making it noticeably whiter

Application

I believe this knowledge of stian remove can help me in the future to not spend as much money, taking less time with stains, and I’ll know I'm using the best stain remover.
