Soapless Detergents
Soapless Detergents was one of the first series of Unilever Educational Booklets. Written in the early 1960s, the booklet gives an account of the research and development that gave rise to soapless detergents. At the time this was still a relatively new industry and the environmental concerns about some of the early detergents had not yet become an issue to be addressed in an educational booklet.
Some of the content of this booklet was updated and represented as part of Detergents the first of the Unilever Ordinary Series in the late 1960s.
