Daz

Does Daz washing detergent kill germs? I'm wondering because I can't find anything on the box that says it does, nor does their website.

Not really, any detergent should help, washing at high temps does that.

Yes or else your clothes would stink from the build up of bacteria

More importantly, do they still do the doorstep challenge

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the hotter the wash the more likely germs will be killed.

50C for super bugs, a good old 40 for most normal washes

Maybe the bleaching agents might kill germs, but I'm not sure.

CILIC BANG, BANG AND THE DIRT IS GONE!
Sorry I had to do it, I don't know if it kills germs but I do know that CILIC BANG is awesome.

Cilic or Cillit?

Normal wash temperature won't kill germs, I would assume the detergent removes them from the clothes.

Enzymes and sheets yo!

No they wouldn't, because the bacteria would be washed out...

Doesn't mean they necessarily die.

I would assume that, if the detergent didn't kill germs then they would multiply from the moisture and heat if you used a radiator/dryer to dry? If this is the case then I need to find a washing detergent that specifically states that it kills germs.

The reason I ask is because I'm trying to reduce my facial spots, and if my washing detergent won't kill the germs then washing my pillow case, ect, is in vain.

Daz just makes me come out in an itchy rash, I know other people that can't use it either, I wonder wtf is in it

They wouldn't do much multiplying on the radiator. If washing powders do anything, then they remove grease and dirt from clothing/bed linen. Without grease and dirt to feed on, the bacteria won't be doing much growing. Also, removing the dirt from your pillowcase is surely going to help your fight against spots in itself?..

But why would there still be (any significant level of) bacteria when you are drying them after a wash? The majority of bacteria has been WASHED OUT.

You're not getting spots from your pillow case (or we'd all have them...). You're getting them because you have bad skin.

Drink more water and use a Teatree oil face wash. That will get better results than changing your washing powder

Most detergents have the same effect on me. I switched to non-bio and the itches and rashes have disappeared. Give it a try!
