Passover Kashrut - Laundry Detergent
Question
Hello and blessings,
Does scented laundry detergent require Passover certification?
Thank you in advance,

Answer
Hello,
Laundry detergent does not require Passover certification. There is no enhancement in this regard.
Even if there are chametz components in the detergent or fragrances, they are certainly unfit for consumption even by a dog.
Additionally, it is not considered 'anointing', so even those who are stringent about anointing with something unfit for consumption will permit this.
