Not sure what kind of detergent to use for your laundry? Contact us for some tips and ideas."
It's not always easy to determine what the ingredients in your laundry detergent are there for and what they're supposed to do. Even reading the label can feel like picking elements from the periodic table, not knowing what they are.
"Methylacrylamideopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride copolymer" WHAT?!?
Let's break this down.
1. Surfactants:
These are substances that reduce the surface tension of water, allowing it to penetrate into fabric and remove dirt and stains. Common surfactants include sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate.
2. Builder agents:
These substances help to soften water and improve the effectiveness of surfactants. Examples include sodium carbonate and sodium silicate.
3. Enzymes:
These proteins break down specific types of stains, such as proteins (blood, grass, etc.), starches (food, etc.), and fats (grease, oil, etc.).
4. Brighteners:
These substances help to enhance the brightness and whiteness of clothes by neutralizing yellowing and redepositing brightening agents onto the fibers.
5. Fragrances:
These are added to provide a pleasant scent to laundry.
The specific ingredients and their quantities in a laundry soap may vary depending on the brand and the type of laundry soap (liquid, powder, etc.). However, these are the main components and their functions in a typical laundry soap.
