laundry soap

Fabric washing agent

Laundry soap is soap formulated for washing clothes.

The term encompasses both bar soaps rubbed directly on fabric and powdered or liquid products, though modern formulations are technically detergents rather than true soaps.

I need to pick up some laundry soap at the store.
