| Method | Stain-Removal Mechanism | Typical Duration | Fabric Damage Risk | Environmental Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SWRD & SHYLD | Photocatalytic oxidation (ROS-driven) | 30 min – few hours | Very Low | Eco-friendly, non-toxic |
| Traditional Bleach | Harsh chemical oxidation | Rapid (minutes) | High (risk of fabric damage) | Toxic chemicals, environmental risk |
| Detergents & Surfactants | Surfactant cleaning action | Moderate (multiple wash cycles) | Moderate | Moderate environmental impact |
| Enzymatic Cleaners | Biological enzyme breakdown | Moderate to slow (hours) | Low to Moderate | Biodegradable, limited stain scope |
| Stain-Protectant Sprays (e.g., Scotchgard) | Surface barrier formation | Prevention-focused, limited post-stain effectiveness | Low | Chemicals with moderate environmental concerns |
| Oxygen-Based Cleaners (OxiClean) | Oxygen-based chemical oxidation | Moderate (hours) | Low to Moderate | Relatively eco-friendly but chemical-based |
| Competitor Name/Type | Metal-Free | Kill Power & Speed | Robustness | Transparency | Dual Action (Self-Clean + Sterilise) | Ingredient Longevity | Zero Leaching | 100% Regulatory Compliant Globally | Eco-Friendly (Safe Aquatic Life) | Versatile Application | Cost-Effectiveness | Final Score |
