Basic Laundry Detergent

(8 customer reviews)

Original price was: $0.10.Current price is: $0.01.

Basic Laundry Detergent is a cleaning agent specially formulated to remove dirt, stains, and odors from fabrics. It contains surfactants to lift grime, enzymes to break down organic stains (like food or sweat), and brighteners to keep clothes looking fresh. Some detergents also include mild fragrances for a pleasant scent and softeners to reduce fabric stiffness. Available in liquid, powder, and pod forms, it works effectively in both standard and high-efficiency (HE) washing machines. Ideal for everyday laundry, it tackles general cleaning needs while being gentle on most fabrics. For sensitive skin or delicate garments, fragrance-free or specialized detergents may be preferred.
