What Makes a Great Laundry Product?
Laundry care today isn’t just about cleaning—it’s about finding the perfect balance between performance, fabric care, sensory appeal, and sustainability. While attributes like stain removal and fragrance have long dominated consumer choices, the demand for gentler and more eco-friendly options is on the rise. With diverse product formats like liquids, powders, and pods now available, the choice often depends on individual preferences and specific laundry needs. In this blog, we’ll explore what consumers value most in their laundry products and how innovative formulations can cater to these evolving preferences.
Key Attributes of Laundry Products
A high-performing laundry product must address multiple priorities, including:
- Stain Removal Power: The primary function, removing dirt and stains effectively without damaging fabrics.
- Fabric Care: Gentle formulations that maintain the softness, durability, and vibrancy of fabrics.
- Eco-Friendliness: Biodegradable ingredients and sustainable practices to minimize environmental impact.
- Skin Friendliness: Mild products that reduce the risk of irritation for sensitive users.

Achieve high performance across various formats, including liquids, powders, and pods
