Background:

Previous research applied a two-distribution statistical method to analyze oily soil detergency.
This method models detergent power and soil adhesive force distributions.

Purpose of the Study:

To adapt and validate the two-distribution statistical method for analyzing the detergency of solid particles.
To investigate the influence of soiling conditions on soil adhesion and removal.

Main Methods:

Utilized a Terg-O-Tometer to soil cotton cloth with red iron oxide dispersion.
Conducted four consecutive washings using dodecyl sulfuric acid sodium salt (SDS) and alcohol ethoxylate (AE) solutions.
Analyzed changes in removal efficiency over repetitive washing cycles to determine soil distributions.

Main Results:

Computer simulations of predicted removal efficiencies closely matched experimental data.
Introduced 'Removal Resistance' to characterize different adhered states of solid soil.
Increased soiling mechanical power led to higher Removal Resistance (greater adhesion) and increased soil load.
Iron oxide concentration primarily affected the total amount of soil, not its adhesive properties.

Conclusions:

The two-distribution statistical method is applicable and effective for analyzing the detergency of solid particles.
The study provides a quantitative framework for understanding solid soil removal dynamics.
Removal Resistance serves as a useful metric for assessing soil adhesion under varying conditions.
