Abstract The interrelation of researches in detergents, appliances, and textiles is discussed, showing how a major development in one industry can force reactions by the other industries. Several new appliance developments, which might affect detergents, include a water softener built onto a washer and two novel washing systems. The possibilities of a home dry‐cleaner are reviewed, as are appliance industry reactions to the development of permanent‐press fabrics by the textile industry. Some predictions about the washing machine of the future are presented.
