English is my first language, but labels on laundry detergent are complete ass. And it seems to be an across the board thing for whatever reason. 90 % of them don't say what it's for on them, just various synonyms for clean, and scent or no scent. The other 10% say "detergent" or something vague in SUPER small text. I just Googled laundry detergent and the results were exactly as I just described. Like shit hopefully this jug of nondescript liquid makes my clothes clean lol.
Asian here, my home is addicted to all scented products including laundry with generous amounts of fabric softener. The river water is so hard it's a necessity in any case, but we love everything having a good smell. In fact, the nearest market sells more scenting products than cleaning products if you can believe it.
the Big Laundry conspiracy runs deeper, fabric softener ruins some fabrics, and degrades most others
