Bio tends to do a better job of cleaning organic stains like grass and food because it contains biological cleaning agents but that leaves residues in the material which can continue to actively "digest" and disintegrate organic material. It's a mild effect but can cause irritation of sensitive skin. In extreme cases it can cause clothes to literally fall apart. Persil used to have a brand that did just that and had to be withdrawn.
Non-Bio detergents don't work quite so well as organic versions but they don't leave the irritating residues which is why they're recommended for babies clothes in particular.

also people with sensitive skin can be irritated by Biological powders, hence the demand for NON Bio still.

Bio products have no phosphates which harm the environment, they also don't have as many suds. Non-bio products contain phosphates which are harmful to our water table, they produce lots of suds.

bio doesn't get as many soap suds because this is generally used in automatic washers. Non bio makes loads of suds and is generally used in twin tub washers and for hand washing, hope that's helped...............

bio refers to it being bio-degradable meaning that it will return to the earth without harming it, non bio will not degrade and return to the earth

from working weekends in a supermarket, i can tell you that non-biological, means it doesn't contain any biological chemicals,which can damage sertain clothes and some people can be allergic to it. therefore biological means it does contain it!
