Other than that, most people doing laundry, mothers for instance, also consider the sensitivity of the washing powder. They want a detergent that does not cause irritation, has added fabric softeners that leave clothes feeling soft, and gentle on the skin.
Of course, some people will only buy what their mother used while others consider what’s on sale. But of utmost importance, as evidenced by a study published in 2016, is the ability of a detergent to remove stains and keep colors bright.
Essentially, one cannot rule out the existence of stains.

And stain removal is no easy feat. It only requires the best quality laundry detergents to fight all kinds of dirt and leave the clothes looking and feeling new.
Nevertheless, each stain demands a different treatment, and that is why there are various kinds of laundry detergents available in the market. There are those with enzymes and others without. Enzymes are naturally incorporated in detergents to remove difficult-to-deal-with stains. Thus, most people prefer products with powerful stain removal enzymes that leave clothes looking spotless.

For an effective wash, therefore, many mothers opt for cleaning products that lather on all types of water – soft or hard water – that is, detergents that dissolve quickly and easily in water and make their handwashing task convenient.

From well-known brands to newer names, manufacturers are prioritizing consumer needs to produce effective and gentle detergents, carrying all the features and capabilities of an ideal cleaning agent.
