Which washing product?

Children are asked to investigate home-use washing products to find out which ones achieve the best result on stained fabric, by running a fair test. Fabric samples are left to soak in a container of warm water with selected washing products, before being removed, rubbed and then rinsed. Children are encouraged to take measurements and report their observations.
