I learned this interesting thing today:
Synthrapol is a special detergent used in pre-scouring fibers before dyeing, and in washing out fiber reactive dyes after dyeing. It is also sometimes used as a surfactant or wetting agent to improve dye penetration.
DH picked up some cotton boles last summer that I want to do something with but must do more research.

I used to tie dye professionally so have a lot of experience with synthrapol. A little goes a long way and the generics aren’t near as effective as the brand name.
