From hand washing powders and bleach to liquid detergents and capsules, OMO has got you covered.
The Science of Stain Removal
The science of stain removal all boils down to chemistry. Any kind of substance can stain clothing, with the most common stains being blood, grass, chocolate, oil, coffee, wine, mud, and dirt. Our everyday activities – from eating to playing outside – can potentially create stains on our clothing. Laundry detergents are formulated with a range of ingredients including:
- ✦
Enzymes that break down the proteins of the stain into large, insoluble molecules.
- ✦
Bleaches that oxidise the colour of the stain to remove the colour.
- ✦
Surfactants that help the stain – especially oils and grease – to dissolve in water.
All these cleaning agents work together in laundry detergents to create a powerful, stain-removing combination.
