Wait for me, don't run too fast!
I am checking that I have the right ingredients to repeat the experiment which led to nothing.
You talk about laundry detergent then soda and I noticed “vinegar”, “dishwashing liquid” here and there.
What exactly does it take to have your experience of which you have no trace, nor realization which would amaze me?
I don't know anything about laundry detergent, there are some things in laundry detergent:
Basic laundry detergent ingredients
To be effective, laundry detergent must be composed of many chemical elements. A basic detergent contains:
• Detergents: synthetic cleaning agents and surfactants. Their role is to disperse the dirt particles present on the laundry in the water.
• Complexing products or anti-redeposition agents, which complement the role of surfactants by preventing dirt from being deposited again on the laundry.
• Sequestering agents, which increase the power of a detergent product. They are not essential for the detergent to be effective, but a detergent that does not contain them should contain more surfactants.
• Enzymes (hydrolases), which act on organic molecules (stains) which they break up for better elimination.
• Alkaline compounds, which improve the action of surfactants and maintain the Hydrogen potential (pH) of the solution sufficiently high.
You can't be serious? as a tennis friend would say.
