Why your black clothes never really look clean

If you live with a cat or a dog, you already know the ritual: lint roller by the door, another one in the car, a third one at the office. And still, the moment you sit down, your black jeans tell everyone you have a pet.

The washing machine was supposed to fix this

Here is the frustrating part. You wash the hoodie. You use good detergent. The cycle runs for two hours. And the hoodie comes out... still furry. Sometimes worse - the hair gets spread across the whole load, and your towels come out wearing your dog's coat.

Most people conclude their detergent is bad and buy a more expensive one. It changes nothing. Because the problem is not the quality of your detergent - it is what detergent is designed to do.

Detergent was never built for hair

Laundry detergent is engineered to attack grease, sweat and dirt. That is its job, and it does it well.

But pet hair is none of those things. Hair is made of keratin - a protein. A tough, fibrous protein, the same family of material as fingernails. Standard detergent has no ingredient that acts on it. So the hair survives the wash, clings to wet fibres, and redistributes itself across your laundry.

You cannot roll it away for good, you cannot wash it away with detergent alone. To actually get rid of it, something in the drum has to work on the protein itself.

What the formula changes

This is exactly what Pawder brings to the drum, alongside your normal detergent:

• Protease - the enzyme that works on keratin, the protein the hair is made of
• Washing soda - softens the water so the wash can work harder on your fabrics
• Cellulose - helps keep the loosened hair from settling back onto your clothes

While your detergent does its normal job on dirt and grease, Pawder works on the hair - so it lets go of the fibres and rinses away with the water instead of coming out of the machine with your clothes.

Your routine does not change

Add Pawder to the drum with the included measuring scoop, on top of the laundry. Same programme, same detergent you always use. That is the entire instruction. Each 100 g jar comes with its own scoop.
