Bio-tex is a historic laundry detergent brand that gained fame in the 1960s as a pioneer in utilizing biological enzymes to break down organic stains like grass, blood, and grease. Originally developed in the Netherlands by the company Kortman & Schulte, it became a Revolutionary product for both hand washing and soaking.

Today, the brand is part of the global portfolio of Unilever. While it originated in the Netherlands and maintains a very strong presence in the Dutch and Scandinavian markets (where it is often considered a domestic staple in countries like Denmark), it is produced across various Unilever manufacturing facilities. The brand is particularly well-regarded for its specialized products like 'Bio-tex Green' (for soaking and hand washing) and 'Bio-tex Blue' (for pre-washing/intensifying), which are designed to be effective even at low temperatures without using harsh bleaching agents.
