  • USE OF INGREDIENT WATER IN CLEANING APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20140053611
    Abstract: Systems and methods for laundry applications employ ingredient water having a defined specification. The ingredient water specification may include a maximum total dissolved solids (TDS) and/or a maximum TDS from water hardness ions. Use of ingredient water having a defined specification may allow for more effective laundering using less water and at lower water temperatures. Use of ingredient water may also allow for improved detergency at lower wash temperatures, which may further result in the potential for shorter wash cycles and less chemistry to achieve equivalent results.
