Producers of laundry detergents either use the dry mixing method, the agglomeration process, or the spray drying method to make laundry detergents. However, spray drying is the best method because it produces a lightweight, well-hydrated product that doesn’t cake. In this technique, a mixer combines the surfactant with a builder like sodium silicate to form a slurry that ages in an aging tank. They spray dry the mixture in a spray drying tower, filter it, modify it with enzymes, fragrances, and colors, and move it to a storage machine for packaging.

Laundry pods have become popular due to their convenience. They contain water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol and liquid cleaning agents in pods. Unlike regular laundry detergents, they are pre-measured to provide a consistent result.

Its production eliminates water, allowing the cleaning ingredients to remain stable for a long period. Laundry pods are a good laundry detergent option; however, the concern about laundry pods is how unsafe they can be for children, who could mistake them for candies. As part of the safety rules, producers have been advised to make them child-proof by using child-safe caps and making sure opening them requires both hands.
