What is the difference between laundry detergent and softener

The working principle of laundry detergent is similar to that of traditional laundry detergent and soap, and the active ingredients are all surfactants. The difference is: the traditional washing powder and soap use anionic surfactants, mainly sodium alkyl sulfonate and sodium stearate, with strong alkalinity (the pH of washing powder is generally greater than 12). Laundry liquids mostly use non-ionic surfactants, the pH is close to neutral, mild to the skin, and after being discharged into nature, the degradation is faster than that of washing powders, so it has become a new generation of detergents. The following laundry liquid processing manufacturers introduce the difference between laundry liquid and softener: the active ingredient of laundry liquid is mainly non-ionic surfactant, and its structure includes hydrophilic end and lipophilic end, in which the lipophilic end is combined with the stain, and then the laundry detergent Processors separate stains and fabrics through physical motion (eg, hand rubbing, machine motion). At the same time, the surfactant reduces the tension of the water, so that the water can reach the surface of the fabric, so that the active ingredients can play a role. Softener, usually refers to fabric softener, also known as clothing care agent, is a kind of laundry care products. It is suitable for use with detergents in the process of fabric washing and nursing, which can make the fabrics soft, fluffy and static. The function of the fabric softener is to evenly apply a protective film to the surface of the fabric fibers. Due to the adsorption of the softener on the surface of the fibers, the friction coefficient between the fibers is reduced, the mobility is enhanced, and the fibers are inherently smooth, stretched, and compressed. Performance is also restored, so the fabric becomes softer, loftier and more stretchy. During the washing process of clothes, the fine fibers are often entangled, tangled together, and even broken. After the clothes are washed many times, the alkaline effect of the detergent will affect the inherent smoothness, extensibility and elasticity of the fibers. The only thing is that the whole clothes look old and shapeless, and feel more blunt to the touch. The more the clothes are washed, the more obvious this feeling is. Of course, after the fabric is conditioned by the softener, the fibers return to their original shape, and the wrinkles on the fabric are also significantly reduced. The laundry liquid processing manufacturer makes the original complicated ironing work simple, easy, time-saving and labor-saving. This is the secret to soft clothing.
