bleaching detergent, auxiliary washing detergent
"Klarwaschmittel" is not simply a "Vollwaschmittel" which would imply a regular main washing detergent. See the following definition:
"Klarwaschmittel
Verwendet im 2. Bad, in Verbindung mit einem Vorwaschmittel. Klarwaschmittel sind mit Vollwaschmittel vergleichbar, enthalten jedoch Perborat als Bleichmittel."

An example would be Ozonex used for industrial laundry purposes.
