washing-liquid non bio

hi,
might seem daft but i usually use colour liquid for darks and bio for whites

this week by accident i ordered liquid 2-1 instead of colour

now i read that only bio powder has bleaching agents so when i do a colour wash do i really need colour liquid or can i just use the mistaken 2-1 liquid as it wont have bleaching agent

if so why bother with special colour liquid if all liquids dont have bleaching agent ??

bit of a garble,well done if you understood the ???

I would use the 2 in 1 liquid on whites until I noticed my whites were looking grey. I'd rather that than have faded coloureds.

non bio powder also has bleaches just no enzymes. I would use the liquid on colours rather than whites as the lack of bleach will not keep the whites white.

All powders except colour stuff will have bleaches. Non bio just doesn't have enzymes. Liquids don't have bleaches. Don't know what colour liquids are missing. Optical brightners maybe?
