laundry detergents

Fabric cleaning agents

Laundry detergents are cleaning agents formulated specifically for washing clothes and fabrics.

The plural typically refers to the product category or to multiple brands and formulations: The store stocks dozens of laundry detergents.

Unlike bar soaps, these detergents are designed to work in washing machines and rinse cleanly from fabric.
