Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of laundry detergent technology, specifically to an environmentally friendly antibacterial laundry detergent and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Laundry detergent is an essential cleaning product in modern households. With increasing health and environmental awareness, higher demands are being placed on the performance of laundry detergents. Traditional laundry detergents, in order to achieve powerful cleaning and antibacterial effects, typically contain phosphorus, chlorine bleach, optical brighteners, and chemically synthesized antibacterial agents. These ingredients are discharged into the environment with wastewater after washing, are difficult to degrade naturally, easily cause eutrophication of water bodies, damage aquatic ecosystems, and may accumulate in organisms through the food chain, posing a potential threat to the environment and human health. Furthermore, long-term use of chemically synthesized antibacterial agents can easily lead to drug resistance in microorganisms, reducing their antibacterial effectiveness and potentially disrupting the normal flora balance on the surface of human skin.

[0003] To address these issues, some laundry detergents marketed with "green" or "natural" concepts have emerged. However, these products often suffer from the following shortcomings: First, they have a narrow antibacterial spectrum and unsatisfactory antibacterial effects, especially against many common pathogenic bacteria; second, they sacrifice cleaning power in pursuit of natural and environmentally friendly products, resulting in cleaning performance that fails to meet daily needs; and third, the synergy among the components in the product formula is poor, leading to poor product stability or easy deactivation of natural active ingredients.

[0004] Therefore, developing a laundry detergent that can effectively remove dirt, has broad-spectrum and highly effective antibacterial activity, and is also biodegradable and environmentally friendly has significant practical importance and market value. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical difficulties and provide an environmentally friendly antibacterial laundry detergent and its preparation method. The prepared laundry detergent uses antibacterial ingredients from natural sources and environmentally friendly surfactants, which have both excellent cleaning ability and broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, and are environmentally friendly and gentle on the human body.
