laundry detergent
Clothing cleaning agent
Laundry detergent is a cleaning agent formulated to remove dirt, stains, and odors from fabric during washing.
It comes in liquid, powder, or pod form.
Unlike soap, detergents use synthetic surfactants that work in hard water without leaving residue: I'm out of laundry detergent again.
