The effect of liquor ratio on the amount of cross‐staining and shade change in the ISO 105‐C08 wash fastness test has been studied in order to improve the correlation between the results from the laboratory test and to those obtained in a domestic washing machine. It has been shown that the correlation obtained for cross‐staining but not shade change is improved when the liquor ratio is reduced below the 50;1 currently in use. A revised setting of 20;1 is recommended for an international ring test to confirm repeatability and reproducibility.
