We read 247 detergent, floor-cleaner and toilet-cleaner listings from Flipkart's own search data on 28 October 2026 and sorted them by what the stated MRP was doing rather than by price.
One product accounts for ten of the tiles. IFB's appliance descaling powder is listed ten separate times, selling between Rs. 132 and Rs. 339 - against seven different stated MRPs running from Rs. 499 to Rs. 1,750. The badge on those ten runs from 54% to 90%.
One descaling powder, ten tiles, seven stated MRPs
| Listing | Pack subtitle | Selling price | Stated MRP | Badge | Ratings | Note |
|---|
| IFB IFBESCALER Detergent Powder | 1000 g | Rs. 172 | Rs. 1,750 | 90% | 483 | highest stated MRP and deepest badge of the ten |
| IFB Descal-washingpowder-800G | 800 g | Rs. 151 | Rs. 1,299 | 88% | 227 | — |
| IFB PACK OF 6 | 0.6 kg | Rs. 132 | Rs. 1,115 | 88% | 622 | cheapest of the ten |
| IFB descaling powder 800gm | 800 g | Rs. 137 | Rs. 999 | 86% | 5,666 | most-rated of the ten |
| IFB Powder for washing machine | 800 g | Rs. 146 | Rs. 999 | 85% | 534 | — |
| IFB HSR Descal Powder 500gms | 0.5 kg | Rs. 136 | Rs. 850 | 84% | 5,222 | — |
| IFB DSCALE WASHING POWDER 900 GRAM | 9 g | Rs. 169 | Rs. 999 | 83% | 2,017 | title says 900 gram, subtitle says 9 g |
| IFB IFBDESCALER | 400 g | Rs. 134 | Rs. 499 | 73% | 2,540 | same money, lowest stated MRP |
| IFB DESCALER | 300 g | Rs. 134 | Rs. 499 | 73% | 282 | identical price to the tile above |
| IFB HSR Descal | 1 kg | Rs. 339 | Rs. 740 | 54% | 4,463 | shallowest badge, dearest of the ten |
Two of these tiles sell at exactly the same money, Rs. 134, and both state an MRP of Rs. 499 for a 73% badge. A third sells at Rs. 137 and states Rs. 999 for an 86% badge. The three-rupee difference in price produces a thirteen-point difference in badge, because the badge is computed against a number the listing prints rather than against what anyone else charges. Nothing here asserts that any stated MRP is false or improper, or alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by IFB or any seller named - pack sizes differ across these tiles and a seller may set a reference price for its own pack. The practical point is only that the percentages are not comparable to each other.
Five listings state an MRP more than eight times the price
| Listing | Selling price | Stated MRP | MRP multiple | Badge |
|---|
| IFB IFBESCALER Detergent Powder | Rs. 172 | Rs. 1,750 | 10.2x | 90% |
| LG DRUM CLEAN descaling powder | Rs. 216 | Rs. 1,999 | 9.3x | 89% |
| Clear XL Japanese Multipurpose Cleaner | Rs. 241 | Rs. 2,199 | 9.1x | 89% |
| IFB Descal-washingpowder-800G | Rs. 151 | Rs. 1,299 | 8.6x | 88% |
| IFB PACK OF 6 Detergent Powder | Rs. 132 | Rs. 1,115 | 8.4x | 88% |
These five produce four of the shelf's deepest badges. The top one states Rs. 1,750 against a Rs. 172 selling price - 10.2 times. For context, the median listing on this shelf states an MRP about 2.9 times its price, and the whole 247-tile read has a median badge of 65%.
We report those figures exactly as the listings publish them and make no claim about whether any pack ever sold at the stated figure. What they are useful for is calibration: once a badge is built on a multiple like this, the percentage stops describing a saving and starts describing the reference number.
The pack subtitle cannot be divided by on this shelf
A per-100g or per-litre comparison would be the honest way to rank a laundry shelf, and on some Flipkart categories the pack subtitle supports one. Not here. One IFB tile whose own title reads "DSCALE WASHING POWDER 900 GRAM" carries the subtitle "9 g" - a hundredfold difference between the two fields on the same tile.
Because one field contradicts the other, no per-unit figure is computed anywhere on this page. Where a pack size is quoted above it is quoted as the listing prints it, not used as a divisor. If you want a per-gram comparison on this shelf, take the weight from the product page rather than from the grid.
The shelf in numbers
| Read on 28 Oct 2026 | Flipkart laundry and cleaning |
|---|
| Listings read | 247 |
| Selling price range | Rs. 76 – Rs. 883, median Rs. 219 |
| Discount badge range | 0% – 90%, median 65% |
| Distinct brand names | 149 |
| Listings publishing no rating | 60 of 247 |
| Listings with a stated MRP above 8x the price | 5 |
| IFB descaling-powder tiles | 10, across 7 stated MRPs |
| Shallowest badges on the shelf | Tide Plus 2%, Godrej Descal 8%, Pee Safe 13% |
The shallowest badges on this shelf belong to the names you already know. Tide Plus is badged 2% (Rs. 881 against Rs. 899), Godrej Descal 8% (Rs. 330 against Rs. 360), Pee Safe 13% and Lizol 21%. The 80%-plus badges belong almost entirely to brand names with no rating history on the shelf - 60 of the 247 tiles publish no rating at all. Sorting this category by discount moves the established brands to the bottom of the page, which is worth knowing before you use that sort.
Three checks before buying cleaning supplies on Flipkart
One: compare the money, not the percentage. On this shelf two tiles at Rs. 134 show 73% while a Rs. 137 tile shows 86%; the badge is tracking the printed reference price, not the deal. Two: check the pack size on the product page. The grid subtitle disagrees with the product title on at least one tile here by a factor of a hundred.
Three: look at whether the listing has any ratings behind it. Nothing on this page is a judgement of cleaning performance - no bottle or sachet was bought, opened or used, and "Kills 99.9%", "Disinfectant" and "Descaling" are the listings' own words. Prices change without notice and cart-level coupons are not visible in listing data - check the live page before buying.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do detergents and cleaners cost on Flipkart in October 2026?
Across 247 detergent, floor-cleaner and toilet-cleaner listings read on 28 October 2026 from Flipkart's own search data, selling prices ran Rs. 76 to Rs. 883 with a median of Rs. 219. The discount badge ran 0% to 90%, median 65%. The shelf carried 149 distinct brand names, and 60 of the 247 tiles published no rating at all.
Why does the same IFB descaling powder show 73% off on one tile and 90% on another?
Because each tile states its own MRP. IFB's descaling powder appears ten times in this read against seven different stated MRPs - Rs. 499, Rs. 740, Rs. 850, Rs. 999, Rs. 1,115, Rs. 1,299 and Rs. 1,750 - while the selling prices stay between Rs. 132 and Rs. 339. Pack sizes differ across the tiles, so they are not all the same purchase. We report the published figures and allege nothing about them; the consequence for a shopper is that the percentages cannot be compared with one another.
What is the biggest discount on Flipkart's cleaning shelf right now?
In this read the deepest badge was 90%, on an IFB descaler selling at Rs. 172 against a stated MRP of Rs. 1,750 - a multiple of 10.2 times. Five listings in the read state an MRP more than eight times their selling price, and those five produce four of the deepest badges on the shelf. The median listing states about 2.9 times its price.
Can I compare Flipkart detergent prices per 100g?
Not from the search grid in this read. One IFB tile whose product title reads "900 GRAM" is subtitled "9 g", so the two fields on the same listing disagree by a factor of a hundred. Because of that, no per-unit figure is computed anywhere on this page and pack sizes are quoted only as the listings print them. Take the weight from the product page if you want to divide.
Do the well-known cleaning brands have the best discounts on Flipkart?
In this read, no - they have the shallowest badges. Tide Plus was badged 2% (Rs. 881 against Rs. 899), Godrej Descal 8%, Pee Safe 13% and Lizol 21%, while the 80%-plus badges belonged largely to names with no published rating history on the shelf. That is a statement about how each listing sets its reference price, not about product quality - nothing here was bought or used.
Prices & codes last verified: October 28, 2026
Every selling price, stated MRP, discount badge, pack subtitle, star average and rating count on this page was read from flipkart.com's own search data on 28 October 2026, logged out, from India, with nothing bought. Nothing was purchased, delivered, opened, diluted, applied or used, and no claim is made about cleaning performance, disinfection, descaling effectiveness, fragrance, skin safety or surface compatibility for any product. "Kills 99.9%", "Disinfectant", "Descaling" and "Multi-Fragrance" are the listings' own words, reproduced and not verified or tested. The 247 listings were reached through four Flipkart search queries and are not a census of what Flipkart sells - results vary by query, ranking, login state, pin code and time of day, and listings are per seller and per pack size. A stated MRP is the figure each listing prints; we report it, compute badges and multiples from it, and assert nothing about whether any pack ever sold at one. Nothing here alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by IFB, LG, Tide, Godrej, Lizol, Pee Safe, Pidilite or any other brand or seller named, and printing a high reference price is ordinary retail practice reported as published fact. The ten IFB tiles differ in stated pack size and are not asserted to be the same purchase - they are grouped because they are the same brand and product family. No per-unit price is computed anywhere on this page because the grid's pack subtitle contradicts the product title on at least one tile. Prices change without notice and cart-level coupons are not visible in this data - check the live listing before buying. Zoutons may earn a commission on purchases made through links on this page; this does not affect what is written above.
