Laundry equipment is very affordable and any family can have it in their home. After buying a laundry machine, the next thing is to find a suitable laundry detergent product. Laundry products come in many brand names and some people are very particular about brands. Basically, liquid and powder detergents are of the same composition and many people are unaware about this fact. Powder detergents have been in the use for a very long time than liquid detergent products. They started to gain momentum after the invention of modern day washing machine equipments. As we know, miscibility with water is the greatest advantage of liquid detergent products that make them stand out from the rest. Liquid detergent mixes with water very fast and it is great when washing clothes in cold water.
Biological detergents (Detergents that contain active enzymes) are more popular in today’s market than non biological ones. It has been experimentally proved that biological detergents are highly effective in removing stains. Biological detergents will be particularly useful in washing white clothes and it is a great solace for housewives. Stained white clothes are allowed to soak in water with the presence of biological detergent and it is washed. Any detergent product that causes allergic reactions should be discontinued at any cost. As a safety measure, you should wear hand gloves while washing clothes and non biological detergents lack strong chemicals that can remove toughest stains. White clothes can be cleaned with detergents that contain bleach as their major chemical component. It is suggested that two separate detergents should be used for white clothes and colour clothes.

Personally, I have long gone back to the tried-and-true old methods. I have a bar of lye and a metal washboard. It's great exercise, to be sure, and that added element of danger of blindness or death really makes my whites sparkle.

Of course, sticking with that theme, I don't really have many clothes with bold colors. They cost too much and they'd simply fade in the sun while I'm tilling my land behind a donkey.

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN?

I just buy whatever's cheapest.

Does anyone else think the idea of separating "whites" from "coloureds" in the washing machine was a subliminal reinforcement of racist culture? I bet pre-Mandela South Africa invented that. Political.

Also, weren't biological detergents what Saddam Hussein didn't have when we invaded Iraq?
