Key Features: Now, let's take a closer look at the key features that make this detergent stand out:
-
Super Concentrated Formula: This detergent is 4X ultra-concentrated, which means you need to use very little of it to get great results. For medium or small loads, just use 3/4 oz, and for large or heavily soiled loads, use 1 oz. This not only saves you money but also reduces packaging waste.
- Fragrance: Add Fragrance up to 3%. 1% is a great start and will give your laundry loads plenty of scent.
-
Stain-Fighting Power: Tough stains don't stand a chance against this detergent. For extra-stubborn stains, you can even pretreat by applying the detergent directly to the fabric, rubbing gently, and soaking for five minutes.
-
Eco-Friendly: This detergent is a green choice in more ways than one. It's USDA Certified Biobased at 97%, biodegradable, and free from 1,4-dioxane, making it safe for both your clothes and the environment.
-
Hypoallergenic: If you have sensitive skin, you can rest easy knowing that this detergent is hypoallergenic and designed for very low irritation. Now once you add other ingredients you may not want to use this marketing terminology as you have to prove that the ingredients you add are also hypoallergenic.
-
Free from Harsh Chemicals: Say goodbye to dyes, synthetic fragrances, and optical brighteners. This detergent contains no such additives, making it gentle on your clothes and your skin.
-
Compact and Convenient: Despite its high concentration, this detergent can fit into a small bottle, offering more wash loads per container. Plus, it's designed for use in both standard and HE machines.
-
Customizable: If you like to experiment with your laundry routine, this detergent is compatible with a wide range of additives for enhanced appearance or performance. I love that you can also break down the concentrate to create more detergent to sell or use for personal use.
Sales Tax Certificate Requirement: For small businesses, it's important to note that purchasing Cola®Det 4X Ultra Concentrate requires a valid sales tax certificate. This certificate ensures that your business is compliant with tax regulations and eligible for wholesale purchases. Be sure to obtain your sales tax certificate before making your purchase.
