Products that offer sensorial benefits in addition to cleaning are increasingly popular among consumers in the fabric care market. Such sensorial attributes are typically related to touch and smell and help provide a more enjoyable experience to the consumer both during and after the laundering process. This presentation will focus on the XPS and SIMS characterization of fabrics before and after washing with different liquid laundry formulations to determine the amount and distribution of different components on the fabric’s surface.
