    think that bio has enzymes in it that lift/dissolve stains, these are not in non bio so are suitable for babies and very sensitive skins. However non bio will not clean as well as bio or coloured powder in my experience

    powder for white clothes ie arial in the green box contains bleaching agents but the liquid doesnt

    coloured powder and liquid contains the enzymes but not the bleach

    Hope that I have got this correct, this is what I think it means anyway from the what I have read !!

    Also, bio not suitable for wool or silk
    Bio not suitable for very hot water as enzyme become denatured at high temperature.
