Removing+Stains+From+Fabrics

Izhan A  Cary Academy  ** ABSTRACT **  The whole purpose of this experiment is to find out which fabric gets stained the least by paint after being washed and which method was the best method. It is believed that silk will get stained the least and that hand washing method would be the best method of cleansing. This experiment was done by first having two pieces of 12 cm2 silk fabrics cut out and then stained with 20 ml of blue paint. Once the paint was settled into the cloth one piece was washed in the machine for 15 minutes and one was hand washed for 15 minutes. The same method was done with the two other pieces of cloth (cotton and lace). The results came out to be that silk was indeed the least stained out of all the cloths and hand washed method was indeed the best method for cleansing. On top and below the cloths were big blobs of dried up paint which prevented the experimenter from reaching the stain of the cloths. The hand washed silk was the only piece of cloth that got rid of the big blobs of paint on both sides.
