Specialized laundry detergents with strong antibacterial properties are designed to provide enhanced protection against bacteria and microorganisms. These detergents contain higher concentrations of antibacterial ingredients compared to regular detergents. It is important to note that while specialized detergents offer enhanced antibacterial properties, they may also contain additives that can be harsh on certain fabrics or cause skin irritation. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when using these detergents. Additional Antimicrobial Agents in Specialized Detergents
