Have said this before
P&G, Unilever, Henkel et al have launched these in wash stain removers/boosters in response to several changes in wash day products.
First is the large switch away from powdered detergent which contain oxygen bleaching systems, to liquids, gels, pods, or whatever that do not. We've covered this before; enzymes and whatever else in liquid detergents these days do a decent enough job for stain removal, but some marks and or remaining traces need bleaching to totally shift. The other trend is toward detergents (both powder and liquid formats) for colors that also do not contain bleaching agents. That is fair enough if one's washing does not have serious stains, if not see above. TOL powdered detergents such as TWB, Persil, Ariel with oxygen bleaching systems true one doesn't really need anything else. Mayhaps for very badly stained washing to increase dosage, but that usually will suffice. If one examines these in wash stain removal products will find among other things; oxygen bleach (with or without activators), maybe a source of alkalinity (washing soda, borax, etc..), perhaps some enzymes, and there you have it. All the things one is missing (more or less) when using a liquid detergent. Keep in mind makers of Tide, Ariel, Henkel and others aren't fools. These in wash stain removal products also go after the "green" or whatever consumers what use liquid (or powder) detergents that are MOL or BOL in terms of cleaning ability. Case in point: Notice in adverts this Skip/Tira Nodoa is shown with *liquid* detergent. Tide did same with their various "in wash" stain removers/boosters. Even on packet some of them showed a bottle of liquid detergent next to the stain remover product. Miele with their Ultra Phase line simply mates liquid detergent and oxygen bleach cartridges. Amounts of either product are dispensed according to soil levels and other factors. This post was last edited 07/05/2018 at 00:14 | ||

Far less difficult and dear method
Which one also has advocated previously; simply add pure sodium carbonate when doing laundry with any liquid detergent.
Nearly all TOL offerings by Henkel, P&G, Unilever, etc... already contain complex enzyme cocktails. It is a slight rise in pH and bleaching that is wanted. Both easily done via sodium percarbonate. Ecover sells the stuff in little packets as do others. You can also find larger containers at laundry/chemical supply places. Personally am not fond of Oxi-Clean and similar products. It and most others tend to be heavy on washing soda. | ||

@Neutral It's still a *very* slow launch. They have done almost no push of it at all. | ||
