Science fair

Bailee chose to participate in the science fair this year. Her question was " what cleans laundry stains the best" she chose three types of laundry stain removers and then for kicks we picked toilet bowl cleaner to test on one.
After surveying some of our friends we chose 4 stains to test. Grass, Mustard, Tomato, and Car grease. We stained each corner of 8 wash clothes with one of these stains. with 8 wash clothes she pretreated 4
and soaked the other 4.
Then she let them sit for 15 minutes
and then washed them all together so that there would not be any differences in the temperature of the water or the amount of soap used.

The results were kind of interesting. Most of the laundry cleaners were about the same in taking out the tomato, mustard and grass, But this one was the only one that worked on car grease...
But the cleaner that worked the very best on everything except the oil was....She did a great job on her board...
and she took 3rd place in district. Good job Bailee!!!
