Surfactants are detergent substances that reduce the surface tension of the water, making it easier to wet the fibers and dirt. They break down the dirt into small particles so that it is washed away and at the same time prevent the dirt from accumulating again. Many industrially produced surfactants are 70% biodegradable and are used in detergents.
At LANIUS, we tell you our recommendations for washing the items on the care labels. In addition, we offer our own detergent made from renewable raw materials in our online shop, which can be used for certain fabric groups. You can find further interesting information in our care lexicon.
