Laundry Detergent Loses Is Potency

Are you one of those people who thought laundry detergent can be kept for a year or more? Well, this might surprise you that its potency only lasts for a few months. It might still bubble up a bit and retain some of its scents, but a detergent’s cleaning powers are greatly reduced after the six-month mark. The same thing applies to bleach. Once you open them, the product begins to oxidize.

If you’re from a big family and you do laundry multiple times a day, then these bottles are definitely a great investment for you. Smaller households might fare better with retail-sized products, though.
