Which formula would have stronger cleaning power?
Which surfactants blend would have stronger cleaning power as a laundry detergent for automatic machines?<div>
A
SLS 5%
SLE2S 5%
STPP 2%
Wash water pH 8
B
SLS 9%
SLE2S 1%
STPP 2%
Wash water pH 8
Water is very hard but both formulas are clear when diluted with hard water to 0.04% active surfactant.

You question can be reduced to which is stronger detergent SLS or SLES by searching I understood that is SLS.
-
Of course SLS is stronger but 50:50 blend foam much better than 9:1 or just SLS. I don’t know about cleaning power though
-
There is no evidence relation that the more foam the more detergent power.
-
In laundry washing machines you don’t want much foam. In front loading and high efficiency machines foam can cause issues with the sensors.

Good point
Thanks

Hi Abdullah,
• Did you try to neutralize Sulphonic acid with Sodium Hydroxide or Sodium Silicate?
• Is the product a washing powder or a laundry liquid?
• If for a washing powder, is the process for a ribbon blender, V-cone blender or spray tower?
• Do you have an antifoaming agent in the formula?
• For added cleaning, did you consider adding a Sodium Percarbonate or Sodium Perborate with TAED (this will increase the efficacy of a washing powder)?
• Do you have enzymes available to you?
