Given how many years of humans have spent in space, it might be surprising to know that NASA still does not have a laundry detergent solution for its astronauts. At present, individuals who live in the International Space Station must wear the same clothes several times in a row before breaking up a series of new clothing, which is delivered as part of the cargo delivery.
Humanity prepares to return to a manned space mission, which will involve government and private individuals, some of them may be as far as Mars. This anticipated long-term room trip will require a new solution to clean clothes because it is not practical to send a large number of new clothes to a distant destination.
Even though it needs a laundry detergent solution, washing clothes in space more complicated than his voice.

The tide has developed a new type of detergent intended to be used in a closed water loop system in space, especially during deep space mission. Detergents described fully degraded with the ability to overcome cleanliness, odor, and stain problems.
Detergents will be sent to the ISS as part of a cargo trip in 2022, giving astronauts at the space station opportunity to test the product in a number of experiments. Data will contribute to new innovations involving laundry in micro and other environments both on ISS and in the possibility of other future missions involving the moon and Mars.
