The laundry industry has been addicted to a couple of stereotypes, one alluding to the 1950s housewife, the other dating back to cavemen. Both create female-exclusive product targeting with little thought to “masculine” laundry. This delayed the industry’s recognition of a quiet revolution taking place at home.
