Blackwater vs. The Aisle.
Most "heavy-duty" detergent is the same suburban formula in a darker bottle. We didn't do that.
Everything Inside The Bottle.
All the technical answers.
Formula & Ingredients
Petroleum-cutting surfactants, plant-derived enzymes for set-in protein soils (sweat, skin oil), pH-balanced builders to lift mineral grit (concrete dust, hydraulic fluid). No dyes, no synthetic florals, no fabric softeners.
FR & High-Vis Safety
Safe on FR-rated cotton, Nomex, FR-treated knits, Carhartt duck canvas, and high-vis reflective tape. No chlorine bleach, no optical brighteners, no silicone-based softeners.
How To Use
Heavy soil: 1 capful per load (HE compatible, all washer types).
Pre-treat: For set-in stains, apply a small amount direct to the stain and wait 5 minutes before washing.
Cold water OK: Works in cold, warm, or hot — runs best with full surfactant action at warm.
Care & Storage
Store below 90°F out of direct sunlight. Shelf-stable for 24 months from manufacture date. Recyclable HDPE bottle (#2).
Shipping & Returns
FAST shipping on first order. 30-day money-back guarantee. Pause or cancel any subscription anytime.
Common Questions.
How is it different from Tide or Persil?
Mainstream detergents are tuned for everyday household soil. Blackwater is formulated specifically for petroleum oils, concrete dust, smoke, sweat-set odors, and embedded grease.
Is it safe on FR and high-vis gear?
Yes. No chlorine bleach, no fabric softeners, no optical brighteners — the three things that compromise FR ratings and degrade reflective tape.
How much does it cost per wash?
The 32 oz Workwear Detergent runs about 44¢ per job-site-grade load.
When will it ship?
We're sizing initial production based on reservation volume. Reservation-holders get a real timeline by email as soon as it's locked.
