Manufacturers of washing powders in Russia

Many large companies left the Russian market after 2022. This also affected manufacturers of household cleaning products for washing machines. In this situation, domestic companies were forced to urgently expand production capacity to satisfy consumers and fill vacated store shelves. Meanwhile, not only have established laundry detergent manufacturers remained in Russia, but new major players have also emerged, whose products are sometimes as good as those of established brands. Let's take a closer look at these companies and the products for "home helpers" they produce.

OL Laboratory

OL Laboratory, or simply Ol Laboratori LLC, is a Chelyabinsk-based company that produces household chemicals for washing machines and more. The company focuses on producing inexpensive yet effective detergents that do not contain phosphates, chlorine, or aggressive surfactants. The brand is responsible for creating laundry soap, washing powder for automatic washing machines, and hand washing powder. Under its own brand, the company produces interesting products.

• Ol Uni Laundry Detergent, 3 Kilograms. A universal detergent suitable for all types of fabric. It effectively removes stains at temperatures from 40 to 90 degrees Celsius, dissolves quickly, and leaves no streaks. It also contains special ingredients that protect household appliances from rust, limescale, and unpleasant odors.
• All Color Washing Powder, 3 kg. This powder also protects your washing machine from limescale and softens hard tap water, in addition to being excellent for washing colored clothes of any material. It's designed to preserve the vibrant colors of colored laundry.

Here is a list of the company's most popular products.

Aikap, a large company located in Moscow, produces a range of household appliance cleaning products, liquid soap, household cleaning chemicals, and much more under its own brand.
