aundry detergent is manufactured in two essential varieties: powder and liquid form. While powdered detergents still hold a significant portion of the market, liquid detergents feature a set of advantages worth considering. The term “Liquid detergent” is vague and refers to various types of cleaning products in liquid forms. Apart from liquid laundry detergent, it also includes dishwashing liquid, hand soap liquid, a range of different household cleaners, and more. All kinds of liquid detergents and related formulas (such as fabric softeners, e.g.) can be produced in the same plant

Liquid bleach usually contains also some sodium hydroxide (caustic soda or soda lye, NaOH), intended to keep the solution alkaline. Sodium chloride (table salt, NaCl) is often present too, and plays no role in the product's action. Sodium chloride and hydroxide are normal residues from the main production processes.ormulations for household use usually contain 8% or less of sodium hypochlorite by weight, although more concentrated solutions of up to 50% are available for industrial use.[7] Concentrated solutions present serious safety risks. Solid anhydrous sodium hypochlorite is unstable and decomposes explosively. A non-explosive hydrated solid is available for laboratory use, but must be kept refrigerated to avoid decomposition.
