Yet another ingredient in laundry detergents is diethyl ester dimethyl ammonium chloride (DEEDMAC). It is a fabric softener. It is a cationic surfactant that is rapidly biodegradable. It works by reducing the friction between fibers, and between fibers and... 

Synthetic musks are important ingredients for the fragrance industry. They are heavily used in laundry detergents, fabric softeners, cleaning products, air fresheners, and so on, and in cosmetic and personal hygiene products such as hand soap, shampoo, and perfume. Nitro, polycyclic, macrocyclic, and the newest dass, alicydic musks constitute the four major classes. The OSPAR (Oslo-Paris) Commission summarized information on their environmental behavior that was relevant to its charge, namely protection of the northeast Atlantic marine environment [37]. Most of the identified uses of synthetic musks are expected to lead to their release to... 

I started reacting to everything glue, paint, perfumes, laundry detergents and fabric softeners, smoke, car exhaust, newspapers. This sensitivity made it very difficult for me to go to a supermarket or shopping mall. At a hospital I became disoriented from the cleaning and disinfecting products. I became ill... 

Cationic surfactants tend to be specialty items that are tailored for diverse uses such as germicides, textile applications, corrosion inhibitors, and fabric softeners. Their primary growth has been in fabric softeners for home laundry detergents. Because cationics are antistatic agents, they perform well in removing static charges associated with synthetic fabrics. 

The cationic detergents invariably contain amino compounds. The most widely used would be the quaternary ammonium salts, such as cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, a well-known germicide and di-stearyldimethylammonium chloride (DSDMAC), known as fabric softener for cotton diapers and as a laundry rinse-cycle fabric softener [4]. 

Amphoteric surfactants. These compounds have the characteristics of both anionic detergents and cationic fabric softeners. They tend to work best at neutral pH, and are found in shampoos, skin cleaners, and carpet shampoos. They are very stable in strong acidic conditions and are favorably used with hydrofluoric acid. For example, compounds of alkyl-betain or alkylsulfobetaine type possess both anionic and cationic groups in the same molecule even in aqueous solution. These surfactants are rarely employed in laundry detergents because of their high costs [3, 4]. 

Plentifiil amounts of toxins are also found in our laundry detergents, fabric softeners (don t be fooled by their lovely names and pretty scents—these chemicals are some of the worst health offenders), room deodorizers, perfumes, colognes, air fresheners, cosmetics, and personal hygiene products. For eyeopening information on the effects of these toxins, the many hidden places they lurk, and how to eliminate them from your body, read my books The Brain Wash and The 4- Week Ultimate Body Detox Plan. Regardless of how you come into contact with them, the majority of these toxins acidify your body. 

In general, laundry aids contribute to the effectiveness of laundry detergents and provide unique functions. Laundry aids include builders, bleaches, enzymes, fabric softeners, and optical whiteners. 

Although the incorporation of enzymes and fabric softeners strengthened the market position of heavy-duty liquids, it did not solve the basic problem of limited general detergency performance in normal washing. As noted earlier, heavy-duty liquids came close to the performance of the first nonphosphate laundry powders. With time, however, the performance of nonphosphate laundry powders improved... 

U.S. commercial products were selected for rheological characterization, demonstrating the breadth of rheology exhibited by current household and personal care products. Products include fabric softeners, dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, shampoos, and dentifrices. 

This section briefly describes the anionic and nonionic surfactants commonly used in commercial HDLD formulations. Cationic surfactants, although used on a large scale, are found predominantly in rinse-added fabric softener products. LAS, alcohol ethoxylates, and alkyl ether sulfates are three of the most widely used surfactants in liquid laundry detergents [44], Recently, various external considerations, such as environmental pressures, have prompted manufacturers to change their surfactant mix to include newer natural-based surfactants [45-47], including alkyl polyglucosides (Henkel) [48],...
