Is your detergent secretly damaging your washing machine? While you trust it to keep your clothes fresh, the wrong formula could be causing unseen harm leading to clogged pipes, residue buildup, and costly repairs.
Before your machine pays the price, let’s break down the science of detergents and why Mugi Ultra is designed to protect both your fabrics and your appliance
Your washing machine is an investment, and the detergent you use plays a crucial role in its longevity and efficiency. Many people focus solely on cleaning power without considering whether their detergent is harming their appliance.
The wrong detergent especially high-pH, chemical-heavy formulas can cause residue buildup, clogging, and internal corrosion, leading to costly repairs or reduced machine lifespan. That’s why choosing a machine-friendly detergent like Mugi Ultra is essential for both fabric care and machine maintenance.
Mild, Medium & Strong Liquid Detergents: The Science Behind Their Formulations & Where Mugi Ultra Stands
When choosing a liquid detergent, the strength of its formulation directly impacts fabric care, stain removal, and machine compatibility. Detergents are generally classified into three categories based on their pH levels, enzyme concentration, and surfactant strength
Understanding Liquid Detergents: Mild, Medium & Strong – What’s Right for Your Machine?
Not all liquid detergents are the same. Depending on their formulation, they fall into three main categories:
- Mild Liquid Detergents – Gentle on fabrics & skin
- Medium Liquid Detergents – Balanced cleaning & stain removal
- Strong Liquid Detergents – High-intensity cleaning for stubborn stains
Where does Mugi Ultra stand? Thanks to its neutral pH, enzyme-based stain removal, and fabric conditioning properties, it sits between mild and medium-strength detergents—offering powerful cleaning without fabric or machine damage.
- Mild Liquid Detergents – For Delicate Clothes & Sensitive Skin
Characteristics & Chemical Composition
- pH Level: Neutral to slightly acidic (6-7)
- Surfactants: Low concentration (~5-10%)
- Enzymes: Minimal or none (to protect delicate fabrics)
- Additives: Often hypoallergenic & dye-free
- Common Uses: Baby clothes, silk, wool, hand-wash fabrics
Mugi Ultra’s Difference: Unlike many mild detergents that lack stain-fighting power, Mugi Ultra maintains a neutral pH but still includes enzymes for effective stain removal making it gentle yet efficient
- Medium Liquid Detergents – Balanced Cleaning & Fabric Protection
Characteristics & Chemical Composition
- pH Level: Slightly alkaline (7-8.5)
- Surfactants: Moderate (~15-20%)
- Enzymes: Protease, amylase, lipase (to break down stains)
- Additives: Fabric softeners & color protectors
- Common Uses: Everyday laundry, casual wear, office clothes
Mugi Ultra’s Edge: It belongs to this category but has a lower pH than most medium detergents, ensuring better fabric care and machine longevity while maintaining strong stain-fighting power.
- Strong Liquid Detergents – Intense Stain Removal for Heavy-Duty Loads
Characteristics & Chemical Composition
- pH Level: Highly alkaline (9-11+)
- Surfactants: High (~25-30%)

- Bleaching Agents: Optical brighteners & oxygen bleach
- Common Uses: Work uniforms, sportswear, greasy clothes
Mugi Ultra’s Stain-Fighting Enzymes: Designed to break down tough stains without harming machine components. Unlike strong detergents that can cause wear and tear inside the washer, Mugi Ultra is powerful yet safe for all machine types.
