• Foam and Foam Stability:
Ross Miles foam column is used for measuring foam
height and stability. In this method 200ml of a shampoo
solution falls through an orifice into a glass column
containing 50ml of the same shampoo solution. Height
of the column is measured at specified times. The
height of the column is considered to be proportional to
the volume
• Detergency and colouring Action:
Cleaning action can be tested on wool yarn in
grease. Place 5g of wool yarn in grease of 200ml of
water containing 1g of shampoo in a flask. Temperature
of water should be 35C. Shake the flask for 4min at the
rate of 50times a minute. Remove the solution and take
out the sample. Dry the sample and weigh it. Calculate
the amount of oil removed under exp. conditions

• Wetting action:
The Draves- clarkson test is a standard method
to determine the effectiveness of wetting cotton
skein. though there is no relation between dyeing
of cotton yarn or fabric and shampooing, this test
can be used to stud the wetting action.
• Eye irritation:
Shampoo which are less irritant to eye are
preferred. this test is performed on the eyes of
mice. the shampoo producing lesion can be
removed easily with water is said to be less irritant

• Oral toxicity:
Oral toxicity can be given in terms of its
LD 50 i.e. number of grams of material per
kg of body weight required to kill half of the
test animals used. Rats are used for this
test.
• pH:
Soap based shampoos are most effective
in pH 9.0-10.0, synthetic detergent based
shampoos are effective in pH. Range of 6.0-
