==History==
By around 600 BC, the Phoenicians had already fabricated the first soap in the world - the much praised ancestor of washing powder. In 1890 the German chemist A. Krafft discovered that non-soapy substances frothed up if you combined them with alcohol. This was the origin of our modern detergents which don't leave any greasy residue on laundry. Since Germany suffered badly from a lack of soap and needed masses of lubricants for weapons and military vehicles during the First World War, the Germans H. Gunther and M. Hetzer picked up Krafft´s idea and produced the first commercial detergent as a sort of preliminary solution to the problem.
==Did You Know That?==
In 1890 the German chemist A. Krafft discovered that non-soapy substances produce a lather if you combine them with alcohol. The Germans Gunther and Hetzer rediscovered this quality and produced the first commercial detergent as a lubricant for weapons and tanks. Soap is not fashionable any more. Detergents are the latest trend! More and more women are using the new grease-reducing powders instead of traditional curd soap.
