2. SYNTHESIS/CONCLUSION According to the study carried out on liquid laundry detergents, the products can be ranked as follows 1: Extract of the study 847465A02 Product / Brand Description VLOEIBAAR WASMIDDEL MET INTENS PARFUM AQUA TOUCH 2.625L REF: 325 2017-00060564 COLOR GEL REF: 325-201700060565 Quality Balance Score/5 Quality level Strength(s) Weakness(es) 3,2 Correct intensity Stains Stains On the overall, (CURRENT ARTICLE) is superior to. Conclusion: (ALDI product) presents a comparable global performance level and significantly superior to (benchmark). 1 This final ranking is based on our quality balance scale which takes into account weight per testing (see paragraph 5 RESULTS for details). Significant gap of performance are highlighted with a gap greater than 0.5 point on the quality scores. From 0.3 to 0.5 point, directional benefit can be pointed out
