So, to help everyone out just a tad, this user shared to her 80.1k followers on TikTok the vital information many of us were clearly missing in our lives.
The woman started the short clip asking: "Do you know the difference between Non-Bio and Bio washing up powder?"
According to the woman, whose entire page is dedicated to sharing 'fun facts', Bio detergent 'contains enzymes that help to break down common stains such as food'.

However, Non Bio detergent 'do not have these enzymes'.
So, she continues, if you're prone to sensitive skin or have certain skin issues like 'eczema' or 'psoriasis' - then Non Bio is the option for you.
Additionally, if you have 'young children', the Non Bio stuff is said to be your best bet.

Confirming the TikTok creator's reasoning, a fifth added: "My eczema is the reason I know."
Another echoed: "I learnt the difference because eczema.
"I’ve found loads of people without sensitive skin have no clue though."
One however, was clearly more baffled by the prices of the various different boxes of laundry detergent powder.
They noted: "Wow washing powder is expensive now."
So, there you have it - use Non Bio for sensitive skin and Bio for extra tough stains.
