Our manufacturing operation combines detergent formulation expertise, specialised processing equipment, internationally recognised quality systems and integrated supply chain management. We manufacture concentrated laundry detergent paste, laundry stain removal products and a range of liquid household cleaning products for the South African retail, wholesale and commercial markets. Our facility supports national retail distribution, independent retailers, bulk commercial customers and international export partners. As a South African detergent manufacturer, we focus on product performance, consistency, manufacturing efficiency and reliable supply. ## Concentrated Laundry Detergent Paste Manufacturing OhSo Bright's flagship product is its 3-in-1 Concentrated Laundry Detergent Paste. Unlike conventional laundry powders and liquids, the concentrated paste format delivers cleaning performance using a relatively small quantity of detergent per wash. The product has been developed for South African washing conditions, including hand washing and top-loading washing machines. The recommended dosage is approximately 20 g per standard 3 kg to 4 kg washing load. A 1 kg pack provides up to 50 washes when used according to the recommended dosage. The concentrated formulation is designed to: - Remove everyday dirt and laundry stains. - Clean white and coloured laundry according to garment care instructions. - Provide fabric-softening benefits during washing. - Reduce the amount of detergent required per load. - Offer practical packaging options for retail and commercial customers. Our manufacturing operation produces the detergent paste in different pack sizes to meet consumer, wholesale and commercial requirements. ## Specialised Detergent Manufacturing Technology Manufacturing a concentrated laundry detergent paste requires controlled processing conditions and specialised equipment. Our production facility uses industrial mixing vessels and processing equipment designed to produce consistent detergent formulations. The manufacturing process includes: - Controlled raw material addition. - Mixing and blending. - Production process monitoring. - Batch quality control. - Product consistency checks. - Filling and packaging. - Finished goods inspection and release. Controlled manufacturing procedures help maintain consistent product appearance, concentration and performance between production batches. This is particularly important when supplying retailers and distributors requiring dependable product specifications across multiple production runs. ## Laundry Detergent Packaging and Product Formats Different customers require different detergent pack sizes. Our concentrated laundry paste range includes formats suitable for individual consumers, independent retailers, wholesalers, laundries and commercial users. Packaging formats include: - 20 g single-wash sachets. - 100 g and 200 g pouches. - 480 g retail pouches. - 1 kg retail buckets. - 5 kg commercial buckets. - Larger-volume formats for selected supply requirements. The small sachet and pouch formats are suited to value-focused retail markets, while the larger packs support households and businesses requiring bulk laundry detergent. Commercial laundries, guesthouses, accommodation establishments, cleaning contractors and other bulk users may enquire about larger pack options. ## Laundry Stain Remover Manufacturing In addition to concentrated laundry detergent paste, our manufacturing operation produces OhSo Bright Stain Away, a laundry pre-treatment product. Stain Away is designed for application directly to stained fabric before the main wash. The product is suited to common laundry problems including collars, cuffs, grease marks, food stains and heavily soiled areas. The 150 g Stain Away format supports retail and online distribution. Laundry detergent and stain removal products form complementary parts of the OhSo Bright laundry care range. ## Household Cleaning Product Manufacturing Our manufacturing capabilities extend beyond laundry detergent. The wider OhSo Bright household cleaning range includes: - Dishwashing liquids. - Multipurpose cleaning sprays. - Floor and tile cleaning products. - Pine gel cleaning products. - Car shampoo. - Other specialised household cleaning formulations. These product categories require appropriate manufacturing procedures, raw material controls and packaging systems. Product development and manufacturing requirements differ according to formulation, intended application, pack size and customer specifications. Our household cleaning manufacturing operation supports the continued expansion of the OhSo Bright product range. ## ISO-Certified Manufacturing and Quality Control Saradox operates an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system.

This capacity supports ongoing retail demand, new product introductions, promotional activity and export requirements. National retail supply requires more than the ability to manufacture products. Successful distribution also depends on production scheduling, accurate packaging, dependable order fulfilment and consistency between manufacturing batches. Our operation combines manufacturing with material requirements planning, inventory management and supply chain coordination. This supports customers requiring regular deliveries and dependable finished product availability. ## Detergent Product Development and Formulation Product development is an important part of our detergent manufacturing capability. Our pilot production facilities support trial batches ranging from approximately 30 kg to 100 kg, depending on product specifications. These facilities allow new formulations and product modifications to be assessed before commercial production. Development activities include: - Detergent formulation development. - Cleaning performance evaluation. - Fragrance development and assessment. - Viscosity and product consistency evaluation. - Stability assessment. - Packaging compatibility. - Process optimisation. - Product adaptations for specific markets. Product development requirements vary according to the intended application, formulation complexity and commercial objectives. ## Contract and Private Label Detergent Manufacturing Saradox undertakes selected contract and private-label manufacturing projects for businesses seeking a South African manufacturing partner. Potential projects are assessed individually according to the product category, formulation requirements, available production capacity and commercial feasibility. Contract manufacturing services may include: - Manufacturing using suitable customer formulations. - Development or adaptation of detergent formulations. - Small-scale pilot production. - Product manufacturing and filling. - Packaging and labelling. - Production quality control. - Finished goods supply coordination. Customers interested in private-label detergent manufacturing should provide details of the required product, intended market, estimated annual volumes, packaging format and existing formulation status. Contract manufacturing projects are subject to technical and commercial evaluation. ## Bulk Detergent Supply for Commercial Customers Concentrated laundry detergent paste offers a practical alternative for businesses using laundry detergent regularly. Potential commercial customers include: - Commercial laundries. - Guesthouses and accommodation businesses. - Cleaning service providers. - Industrial and workplace laundry operations. - Wholesale distributors. - Independent retail groups. - Bulk household cleaning product buyers. Customers seeking OhSo Bright branded products may enquire about wholesale supply, commercial packaging formats and distribution arrangements. Businesses requiring products under their own brands should contact our manufacturing team to discuss feasibility and minimum order quantities. ## Detergent Manufacturing for Export Markets Our manufacturing and supply chain operation supports export customers across Africa and international markets. The wider group has experience exporting personal care and household products to more than 25 countries. Export orders require careful coordination of product specifications, packaging requirements, documentation, freight arrangements and destination-market compliance. Our export team works with distributors and commercial buyers to assess product and shipping requirements. Detergent products may require market-specific packaging, labelling or formulation assessments before export. ## Sustainable Detergent Manufacturing Water management plays an important role in responsible manufacturing. Our Durban facility incorporates harvested rainwater into its manufacturing operations, reducing reliance on municipal water supplies. Production water use is managed through the facility's quality and manufacturing systems. This investment supports resource management and greater operational resilience. We continue to evaluate manufacturing efficiency, production planning and packaging options as part of our broader operational improvement activities. ## Why Choose a South African Detergent Manufacturer?
