what is pre wash detergent

A pre-wash detergent is a type of detergent that is used in the pre-wash compartment of a washing machine. A pre-wash cycle is an extra cycle that can be added at the beginning of most washing machine cycles, and it is used to clean particularly dirty clothes before they enter the main washing cycle. The pre-wash cycle is usually run with cold water and detergent, and it is used to loosen up and clean away a lot of dirt from heavily soiled clothes. A pre-wash is not necessary, but it can be particularly useful for families where there are lots of spills and muddy clothes on a regular basis. If you have particularly stained or soiled clothing, you can add detergent or stain remover to the pre-wash compartment for maximum effectiveness. It is important to note that not all washing machine cycles allow for a pre-wash, and some cycles, such as the quick wash cycle, wool cycle, delicate cycle, hand wash cycle, and rinse and spin cycle, do not allow for a pre-wash.
