The invention discloses a foamless detergent, which includes: sodium alginate, starch, sodium silicate, citric acid, sodium citrate, sea salt, sodium perborate, tetraacetylethylenediamine and borax, and also includes: sodium bicarbonate and soapnut saponin. The preparation method comprises the steps of: mixing sodium silicate with sodium perborate, mixing sapindus saponin, sodium alginate, starch, citric acid, sodium citrate, sea salt, sodium bicarbonate, tetraacetylethylenediamine and borax, then mixing the two mixtures, adding citric acid and conducting mixing again. The detergent has the characteristics of compatible raw materials, good water solubility, strong activity under a low temperature condition, high detergency, complete stain removal ability, and no foam or odor, and the water discharged after washing can be effectively biodegradable. The washing process has no harm to fabrics and human skin, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and the like can be effectively inhibited, odor can be eliminated, water and power can be saved, the foamless detergent is in line with energy-saving and emission reduction, environmental protection and low carbon.
