Is biological laundry dertergent more effective than non-biological laundry detergent?
biological variety are certainly more popular and do get your whites much cleaner. However you should never use a biological detergent on delicate fabrics such as silk and wool. biological detergents are full of chemicals. This can leave those of us with sensitive skins a little itchy, especially if you have eczema or dermatitis. non-biological detergents is that they are kinder to the skin, having fewer chemicals. The lack of chemicals however is the reason why they aren't as effective at getting the whites white. They lack an enzyme which is put into biological detergents to break the food stains down. biological detergents are not good for the environment. However there are now washers out there designed not to need any detergents.
