In recent years there has been a trend away from the traditional soap‐based washing tests towards methods based on commercial‐type washing powders. Experience with tests based on washing powders, and the relationship between these tests and the traditional soap‐based tests, are described. It is shown that the degree of staining of adjacent fabrics, particularly nylon, increases as the detergent concentration in the wash liquor is decreased. Post‐stentering and the quality of fabrics used as adjacents in the wash test can have a considerable influence on the results.
