Thinking back to my original posts regarding an experiment, I'm wondering if instead of relying on smell, I could look at the bleaching ability of the solution. Maybe take two identical T-shirts and put them into the solutions, and after a few days or even weeks, compare how faded they are. My hypothesis here would be that the solution with very high FC, and high CYA would have less bleaching effect than the solution with lower FC, but no CYA.
If I used a closed system, like a jar with an air tight lid, could I expect FC levels to remain fairly stable, or will I lose FC due to sunlight? The Chlorine has nowhere to go, but it might be converted to a less effective form. Any thoughts?
