HMS Original & Pumice Stone Comparison Process
Note: Trials should be done in the same type of sample washing machines.- Prepare 5 pieces of garment or leg panels for each trial. Garments or leg panels’ sizes should be the same and they must be of the same fabric type.
- Spare 1 garment or leg panel and put the remaining four pieces in the machines.
- Put 1 bucket of pumice stone (approx. 5 kg) in the first machine and 1 bucket of HMS (approx. 6.5 kg) in the second machine (volume of stones must be the same).
- Fill HMS’ machine with 40, and pumice’s machine with 50 liters of water (HMS needs 20% less water).
- Set the machine speed to 25-28 cycles per minute, without steam, with cold temperature, and set the timer for 120 minutes.
- Take out 1 garment or leg panel from each machine every 30 minutes and mark stone type and time.
- After 120 minutes, you will have 5 samples from each stone trial (10 in total):
- Raw + 30 + 60 + 120 minutes of pumice stone
- Raw + 30 + 60 + 120 minutes of HMS
- Iron all samples and compare time and effect accordingly.
