Jede Woche landet sie im Korb, die Wäsche. Ob Kaffeefleck oder Tomatensauce – Waschmittel entfernt fast alles und wird oft großzügig ins Waschmittelfach gegeben. Aber was passiert eigentlich in der Wäschetrommel? Warum riecht Wäsche so angenehm und frisch? Ist Waschmittel schädlich für die Umwelt? Seit wann gibt es Waschmittel überhaupt? Diesen und weiteren spannenden Fragen gehen unsere Moderatorinnen Charlotte und Melina in dieser Episode von „Alles Chlor!“ auf den Grund.
