Bio vs Non-Bio Detergent

Foxy Laundry have a variety of products to process laundry. If you wish us to use Non-Bio detergent please let us know when you give it to us.  You can provide your own detergent if you   

Bio detergents use enzymes for powerful stain removal at lower temperatures, ideal for tough stains on cottons and synthetics, while non-bio detergents lack enzymes, making them gentler for sensitive skin, babies, and delicate fabrics like wool and silk, which enzymes can damage. The choice depends on your laundry needs: bio for tough cleaning, non-bio for gentleness and sensitive skin.  

Bio Detergents (Biological)

• Contains: Enzymes (proteins that break down stains like food, grease, grass). 

• Best for: Heavy soiling, tough stains, energy efficiency (works well at low temperatures). 

• Fabrics: Cotton, synthetics (polyester, nylon). 

• Avoid: Wool, silk, delicate fabrics (enzymes can damage protein-based fibers). 

Non-Bio Detergents (Non-Biological)

• Contains: No enzymes, relies on other cleaning agents (surfactants, bleaches). 

• Best for: Sensitive skin, allergies, babies, delicate fabrics (wool, silk, dyed items). 

• Fabrics: Good for all fabrics, especially those sensitive to enzymes, and helps maintain vibrant colors. 

How to Choose
