Frequently Asked Questions About Laundry and Dish Product Testing

Yes. We offer test methods for both hand dishwashing liquids and automatic dish detergents. Test conditions are adjusted based on intended product use.

Claims that imply superiority must be backed by side-by-side lab testing against market leaders using identical test conditions. Our team can help design and execute these comparative tests.

While fragrance preference is often subjective, our lab can help evaluate eco-related performance claims such as low-temperature wash effectiveness, phosphate-free formulations, and biodegradability, often in support of Ecolabel or Safer Choice certifications.

Turnaround time varies depending on sample volume, complexity, and scheduling. Most performance tests can be completed within two to four weeks. Contact our lab to discuss your timeline.
