- washing method Four artificially soiled cloths were sewn onto the chest of a cotton T-shirt (Gunze Co., Ltd.). A vertical washing machine (NA-F70PB1, Panasonic Co., Ltd.) was used. The detergent article of each Reference Example in Table 2 was placed at the bottom of the washing tub, and then the cotton T-shirt (Gunze Co., Ltd.) was added so that the total weight was 2 kg. In each of the reference examples, water was added so that the concentration of the detergent composition contained in the detergent article in the washing tub was 0.5 g/L, and the washing was performed for 9 minutes, 1 rinse, and 7 minutes spin-dry time. The temperature of the water used for washing and rinsing was 20° C. In addition, instead of each detergent article, the detergent composition of Example 1-4 in Table 1 that is not packaged in a water-soluble film is put into the washing tub, and the same washing method as above is carried out. This is used as a reference example.
- the four pieces of artificially soiled cloth sewn onto the cotton T-shirt were removed, and the cleaning rate was measured by the following method, and the average value of the four pieces was calculated.
- the reflectance at 550 nm of the unsoiled raw cloth and the artificially soiled cloth before and after washing was measured using a spectrophotometer (SE-2000, manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Co., Ltd.).
- the cleaning rate (%) was calculated using the following formula, and the average value of the four pieces was calculated.
- Cleaning rate (%) 100 x [(reflectance after cleaning - reflectance before cleaning) / (reflectance of original fabric - reflectance before cleaning)]
- the cleaning rate of each Reference Example is calculated by taking the cleaning rate of a Reference Example using a cleaning composition not packaged in a water-soluble film as 100%, and calculating the relative cleaning rate (%) to the Reference Example.
- Each of the cleaning articles in Table 2 can increase the relative cleaning rate, and can suppress a decrease in cleaning power even when the cleaning composition is packaged in a water-soluble film.
