Laundry Supplies

The Google product category ID for Laundry Supplies is 627. It sits under Household Supplies and has 20 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 20 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy

Measured by how much sits beneath them, Laundry Supplies is second largest of the 18 categories under Household Supplies, with 20 categories below it.

The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Bleach (4982) on level 4: Laundry Supplies › Bleach. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (627) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Laundry Supplies"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 20 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.

Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 627, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

What sits under Laundry Supplies

20 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.

All 20 of them are leaves: none of the subcategories under Laundry Supplies continues any further, so one of those 20 names is the most specific value this branch can give you.

Questions about Laundry Supplies

What is the Google product category ID for Laundry Supplies?

627. The full path, "Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Laundry Supplies", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.

Should I use Laundry Supplies or one of its subcategories?

Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Laundry Supplies has 20 directly below it, starting with Bleach (4982), Clothespins (5704), Dry Cleaning Kits (7320), and 20 in total further down. 627 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.

Where does Laundry Supplies sit in the taxonomy?

At level 3, under Household Supplies (630). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Household Supplies → Laundry Supplies. If your product does not belong under Household Supplies, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Laundry Supplies is not quite right?

Look across the rest of Household Supplies first — there are 17 other categories at this level: Drawer & Shelf Liners (7351), Floor Protection Films & Runners (499674), Furniture Floor Protectors (7214), Garage Floor Mats (8522), Garbage Bags (2374), Household Cleaning Supplies (623), and 11 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Household Supplies (630) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How much more specific can I get than Laundry Supplies?

1 level more. The longest route down from Laundry Supplies is Laundry Supplies > Bleach, ending at Bleach (4982) on level 4. Not every branch below Laundry Supplies runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.

How big is Laundry Supplies compared with the categories next to it?

It is second largest of the 18 at its level, carrying 20 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
