    UK Detergents - Facts & Figures

    British Surf is equivalent to our Omo,which is a secondary brand focusing on scent.Bold is a scent-oriented brand too.Those brands have focused more on leaving fresh scent on garments and removing tough odors rather than fighting difficult stains,therefore their enzyme formula is much simpler.
