This is a cost thatconsumers are not willing pay and even during a recession many consumers are rather investing in premium detergents with caringbenefi ts to ensure their clothes are not damaged and maintain a new look for longer. Last but not least; consumers are constantly looking for products that are good for them, their clothes, and the environment. Together these consumer demands are requiringdetergent manufacturers and retailers to look for high-performance fabric care solutions.
