Surfactants Monthly - January 2025
Many consumers globally have an average of 3-5 detergent bottles in their household [Western world most likely], and more than half are unsure of how much to dose [I dunno – just fill the cap right?]. Henkel aims to take the guesswork out of the equation with smart dosing. As a first step, Henkel is announcing two new smart detergent dosing devices that can be used in existing laundry and dishwashing appliances.
Somat Smartwash: The world's first smart detergent dosing device that automatically senses dishwasher parameters to determine the right dose of detergent and additives at the right time needed to deliver all-in-one optimal results over months.
Persil Smartwash: A groundbreaking laundry solution that autonomously senses washing machine parameters and automatically doses the right amount of detergent at the right time in the wash cycle for the best stain removal and fabric freshness.
