Does liquid detergent expire?

10 years ago

I am buying small 50 oz liquid detergents when they are on sale at Dollar General and Kroger. The reason I am doing this is because I have one kid going off to college this year and another in 2 years. They are going to need the smaller bottles to take with them and for me to send to them in their care packages..with many tears going along with it.

I would say yes, liquids can go bad..preservatives are only going to last so long, once they die bacteria will bloom in the detergent. .how long this will take I have no idea, but I doubt it will happen within a year or even two. Is there a reason you chose liquids instead of powder, powder would weigh less?

I can't find the post but Laundry Mitch tested some liquids he'd had for years and they were fine.
