Abstract

The research deals with the impact of two Sinner circle parameters, chemistry and mechanical agitation, on effects in washing of standard and naturally soiled fabrics at the temperature of 60 °C. The share of chemistry is analyzed by powder and liquid detergents and alternative agent - soapnut shells. Variation in mechanics is being provided through the transfer of the active substances in the bath using ultrasound at 37 and 80 kHz and exhaustion process in Linitest. Results of this study showed that washing in an ultrasonic bath possesses a stain removal potential, especially at frequency of 80 kHz.
