Anti-Spotting Testing in Dishwashing Liquids
The anti-spotting performance of dishwashing liquids is crucial to ensure that dishes are clean and dry after washing without any residues or spots. This testing ensures the product meets quality standards and satisfies consumer expectations for cleanliness and hygiene.
Spots, which can be water spots or grease spots, occur when the dishwashing liquid fails to completely rinse off the surface of the dish. These spots not only affect the aesthetic appeal but also indicate incomplete cleaning. The process involves evaluating the product under controlled conditions that simulate real-world use scenarios.
At Eurolab, our dedicated team conducts comprehensive anti-spotting tests using state-of-the-art equipment and methods that adhere to international standards such as ISO 15024-6:2017. The testing procedure includes:
- Preparation of Specimens: We prepare dish samples with controlled levels of grease, food residues, and water hardness.
- Treatment with Dishwashing Liquid: The dish samples are treated with the dishwashing liquid under specific conditions to mimic actual use in the kitchen.
- Observation of Spotting: After rinsing, we observe and measure the presence and extent of spots on the dishes.
The anti-spotting test is not just about spotting; it also involves assessing other critical parameters such as:
- Efficiency in removing food residues
- Rinse aid performance
- Dish drying effectiveness
The results of these tests are reported according to the specified criteria, ensuring transparency and reliability. Our testing protocols ensure that the dishwashing liquid performs optimally in both domestic and commercial settings.
