Throw a piece of boiled protein into the container and leave for 24 hours.

If after this period the protein has not changed, this means that your detergent is ineffective and may not wash well.

If after 24 hours the protein has become soft and the dissolution process has begun, then the detergent is suitable for washing dark substances.

The most powerful and effective product is indicated by almost complete dissolution of protein, which means that the washing powder will cope with even complex stains.
