• Laundry liquids are formulated using ingredients, which provide better washing performance without harming the environment. The most common ingredients that are used in making laundry liquids are water, ethoxylated rapeseed methyl esters, potassium soap of coco, sodium citrate, limonene, and citronellol, among others.
