Whenever you browse the laundry detergent aisle at the supermarket or see an advert on television, you are probably inundated by a choice of brands, as well as by a decision between biological or non-biological products.

Like so many people, for a long time, we paid no attention to the difference and opted to buy whichever detergent caught our attention the most or one that we were already familiar with. Recently, however, our curiosity got the better of us and so we asked “what is the difference between bio and non-bio detergent?”. The answer was deceptively simple – biological detergents contain naturally-occurring enzymes whereas the non-bio alternatives do not.
