How are laundry detergents formulated?

Laundry detergents are complex formulations of many chemicals. In the table below, we’ve summarized the key ingredient groups (ingredients may fit into several categories) [1-3].

Ingredient Group	Ingredient Subgroup	Examples Ingredients	Role in Detergents
Surfactants	Anionic	· Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) · Ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS)	Present in all detergents, surfactants are the ‘soap’. They clean by reducing surface tension and dispersing dirt. Anionic are the most popular, but the other subgroups have specific uses (e.g. cationic in fabric softeners).
	Nonionic	· Ethoxylated alcohols · Fatty acid esters
	Cationic	· Benzethonium chloride · Cetylpyridinium chloride
	Amphoteric	· Cocamidopropyl betaine
Builders (‘sequestering agents’)		· Citric acid · Polycarboxylates · Boric acid	Bind calcium in hard water to prevent the formation of ‘soap scum’.
Bleachers		· Tetraacetylethylenediamine · Sodium perborate Ciara's official music video for 'Goodies' ft. Click to listen to Ciara on Spotify: featured on Playl.

Decolorize or remove stains not affected by surfactants (e.g. red wine).
Enzymes		· Proteases · Lipases · Amylases	Help to break down difficult stains and allow for lower wash temperatures.
Soil Repellants (‘polymers’)		· Carboxymethyl cellulose	Irreversibly bind to clothing fibers, preventing dirt from reattaching.
Foam Regulators		· Dimethylsiloxane	Reduce the quantity of foam.
Whitening Agents (‘optical brighteners’)		· Sulfonated diamino-stilbenes · Distyrylbiphenyl	Fluorescent agents reflect UV rays, making clothes appear ‘brighter’.
Fabric Softeners		· Eesterquats	Are antistatic, and so fibers appear softer. Also, help to reduce drying times.
Stiffeners		· Starch · Polyvinyl acetates	Help to stiffen clothes when ‘fluffy’ is not preferable (e.g. shirts over towels).
Fragrances		· Butylphenyl methylpropional	Add a pleasant smell to detergents.
Dye-Transfer Inhibitors		· Polyvinylpyrrolidon	Help to prevent dyes being transferred between items of clothing.
Other Ingredients	Fillers	· Water (aqua) · Sodium sulfate	Give the detergent structure, often with no impact on the cleaning ability.
	Buffers	· Sodium carbonate	Set the optimal pH for the detergent.
	Preservatives	· EDTA · Benzisothiazolinone	Prevent the growth of microbes, increasing shelf-lives.
