A wild, WILD guess!

In doing the final check of my latest assignment, I ran across that sentence again (from Saturday's post, I didn't stop...).

I wondered if, perhaps, градиент (gradient) might be a typo. I wondered if there was such a Russian word as инградиент, which sounds an awful lot like "ingredient," which would make the sentence actually make sense.

By golly, there is.

I didn't know that.

So here's the final version of the sentence:
In order to improve laundry quality, the work place is stocked with highly efficient powder detergents and ingredients for water treatment, laundry softening, and giving laundry a natural fresh smell.
And that, now, is definitely the last word on the subject.

Cheers...

The Russian word is ингредиент. I should've noticed the typo in your earlier post.
