How to make Detergent (OMO)

A detergent is a water-soluble cleansing agent that combines with impurities and dirt to make them more soluble and differs from soap in not forming a scum with the salts in hard water. OMO detergent comprise concentrated and hypoallergenic powdered detergents and powdered detergents designed specifically for use with white or colored laundry. 

The active detergent components in OMO detergents sold  are surfactants. They  also contain lipase, amylase and other enzymes that help break down protein-based stains. Sodium compounds, such as sodium carbonate (Soda Ash) and sodium sulfate(Industrial salt), are common building and bulking agents. These agents comprise most of the actual mass of the detergent.

  NB: For the measurement of liquid here, we use locozade bottle
Be very careful when using this chemicals and no child should come close
