dieses Wäsche-Elixier
this elixir for your washing machine


Explanation:
The elixir can also be added to your washing machine when you put on a load of washing. It is absorbed by the clothing which then holds this extra strength in its fibres and protects us each time we wear it.

The client will be disappointed if you shy away from using 'elixir' in the copy.

Explanation:
Most people couldn't tell elixier from stale beer, so it's always a good idea to use vocabulary that rings a bell.
