Laundry Detergents

Laundry detergents are essential cleaning chemicals used to remove dirt, stains, and odours from clothing and textiles. They are available in a variety of forms ranging from liquid, powder, tablets, and capsules. Laundry detergents may have hazard pictograms on the packaging. Visit our UK REACH page for more information and expertise. Laundry detergents are available in Bio and Non-Bio formulations. Bio (Biological) laundry detergents contain an enzyme which helps break down dirt, stains, and soiling, offering a much more powerful clean. Non-Bio (Non-Biological) laundry detergent doesn't include this enzyme and uses other cleaning methods, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin.

When choosing laundry detergents, you should consider the product format as powders and liquids tend to be the most cost-efficient, but will require dosing correctly to minimise wastage. Alternatively, capsules and tablets offer mess free and accurately measured dosages. You will also need to consider between Bio and Non-Bio formulations based on the requirements of the fabric or textile. Finally, You may want to consider using stain removers for heavily soiled fabrics, and fabric conditioners to keep the fabric soft after a wash.
