Detergent powders are widely used in Indian households, yet their actual performance often differs from the claims made during marketing. In this study, six commonly available brands—Rin, Wheel, Henko, Surf Excel, Tide, and Ariel—were evaluated on several physicochemical and cleaning parameters. The analysis included pH measurement, solubility, foaming stability, surface tension, conductivity, critical micelle concentration (CMC), and practical cleaning action on stained fabrics. Results revealed that all tested detergents were alkaline in nature and highly soluble, though variations were observed in residue content and foaming ability. Significant differences in surface tension and CMC values highlighted the role of surfactant composition in overall cleaning efficiency. Among the tested products, Surf Excel and Ariel consistently demonstrated superior performance across multiple parameters. The findings provide useful insights for consumers in selecting appropriate detergents and contribute to understanding the relationship between formulation and cleaning action.
