Q: Should people be worried about chemicals in their laundry detergents?
No, laundry detergents follow strict regulations and are not significantly harmful. The claims of cancer-causing ingredients are often based on fear marketing rather than fact.

Not significantly, as the pH of shampoo doesn't greatly impact color preservation, rather it's dependent on the type and amount of surfactants used.
