Fabric & wrinkle care
Evaluate smoothness appearance, wrinkle release or recovery, dimensional and appearance effects, colour care, and repeated-laundering outcomes under defined conditions.
Fabric Care
Laundry Detergent Performance Testing
Tandell combines full-scale laundering with controlled laboratory methods to compare detergents, additives, enzymes, formats, and use conditions.

Specialized programs
Go beyond a single cleaning score.
Fabric softness
Compare softness, re-wettability, static control, whiteness retention, and related fabric-conditioning performance using controlled treatments and evaluation.
Enzyme assays
Measure activity for relevant enzymes such as protease, amylase, lipase, or cellulase at defined sampling points and connect the result to controlled laundry-performance studies.
Related expertise
Connect application testing with measurement.
Surface tension, contact angle, foam structure, microscopy, colour, gloss, rheology, and controlled separation analysis can help explain why products perform differently.
