Liquid Twirl (AFCO 5355) is an alkaline liquid laundry detergent which is a blend of surfactants, emulsifiers, water softening agents, optical brighteners, and highly effective in removing oily and greasy soils from fabrics. For best results, AFCO 5355 should be used in combination with HD 3000 (AFCO 5303), which boosts the alkalinity of the wash solution .
