Title : How to deal with Stains.

Problem : Which product reduces stain visibility the most to the eye?

Background: Stain removers work by first dissolving the stain by using different chemicals such as Dipropylene Glycol Butyl which is a very effective cleaning solvent. Surfactants such as Sodium Alkyl Sulfate which remove oily stains and residues activate to help dissolve the stain more. Next the stain begins get eaten away, and then the stain becomes hidden. The stain removers we are using contain different ingredients that make stains disappear. A major ingredient in the Clorox Bleach Pen is bleaching agent called Sodium hypochlorite which is a big part of reducing visibility of the stains. One big time ingredient in the Tide To Go is an oxygen based bleach named Hydrogen Peroxide. These stain removers contain different ingredients to make their product good at removing stains.

W hat makes a product "good" at removing stains? What qualities does it have?- Ashlyn Peters Hypothesis: If we put Tide on the stain, Then the stain will leave the stain visibly better than the others. Why do you think tide will work the best? Jake Sievers

Methods: 80 mL is a lot... Ms. Miller Qualitative & quantitative data? Ms. Miller
 * 1) Place a white T-shirt on a flat surface.
 * 2) Examine and record the current whiteness. How do you plan on recording "whiteness" ?? - Natalie and Courtney
 * 3) Pour and measure 80mL of Welch's Grape Juice using the Graduated Cylinder. Why did you decide to use 80 mL of everything? Jake Sievers
 * 4) Pour the 80mL of Welch's Grape Juice onto one part of the white T-shirt.
 * 5) Remove excess residue by blotting the juice with paper towels.
