A formulation for creating a dry, granular cleaning agent intended for washing clothes. This formulation specifies the ingredients, their respective proportions, and the mixing procedure necessary to produce a cleansing product suitable for use in washing machines.
The creation and use of such formulations offer benefits including cost savings through bulk ingredient purchasing, control over the chemical composition of the cleaning agent, and reduction of packaging waste. Historically, homemade laundering solutions were prevalent, utilizing readily available materials like fats and lye, eventually evolving into standardized and readily available formulas for powdered products.
