The bottle should be 325-1, and the creatures 325-2.
If they activated at high temperatures, wouldn't they come alive during their spin in the dryer?
I don't like it.

Interesting, but needs some editing. I don't like the replenishing source bit, nor the regeneration of the bottle. Also, you never specifically state that SCP-325-1 is in SCP-325-2.
The writing needs a bit of tightening up, and a bit of differentiation in the formating wouldn't hurt. Maybe bulleting the stages.
Might it be better for SCP-325 just be a bottle of SCP-325-2, and leave the origins of the organism unknown? And why is a flamethrower used for containment? Wouldn't a spray of anti-bacterial, acid, or alcohol be better and safer?
Thanks for the feedback, I've taken note and am working on altering the article in incorporate it :)
The replenishment of the bottle originally came about in order to keep the SCP some kind of threat, but now I think about it, there's the potential this stuff was made in mass-production, it doesn't need it.
I'm also starting to think of changing it a little. Scrap the micro-organisms and such, and simply make it a substance that will destroy any cellular life, 100% efficiency. Which would of course mean red blood cells, skin and such if it were spilled on someone. From continued reading I've found a dearth of things that infect, but little that kills infectious items. Thoughts?
That would work for me. Any thoughts on the possibility that this stuff could have been made en-masse being hinted at in the article? Personally I'd shit myself at the thought there could be this odd detergent on a shelf in a supermarket somewhere…
Observed to grow in mass? Shouldn't that be "volume", or simply "size"?
Size is a very ambiguous term, especially when used in a scientific context. Just because something grows in size does not necessarily mean it grows in mass. Volume would probably be the best thing to use, since saying it grows in mass implies that the mass is created out of nowhere (which, as we all should know, is impossible).
Right, almost done the new draft, but it should be up properly next week, as life is in the way.
However, I'll bounce the new version around IRC at some point.
EDIT - New version up. Thoughts anyone?
EDIT2 - Major thanks to karajade for his little edits and such, it does actually read and look better. I owe you a digital drink of your choice good sir.
I like it. I don't know what the previous version was like, but this is pretty good.
The rewrites have made this so much better.
As the ████████ company shows no record of producing SCP-325, yet has the facility to do so if the [REDACTED] is added into their manufacture process, one undercover Agent has been inserted as an employee.
That's ominous as hell. Not only could this stuff be replicated, it could be replicated easily, in bulk, and legally sold. Well, legally produced, anyway. I can't see the FDA being too happy about a product that induces suicidal tendancies.
Thanks yoric. I realised from talking with others that my creep factor shouldn't be horrendous exploding bodies or something, just the "That's not so bad. Wait, this is made in a factory…"
So yes, thanks for the feedback all, I just need to think up some more ideas for some better SCPs. Also, thanks to Pig_Catapult for adding some edits to the article, misophobia makes more sense than germophobia.

You stated earlier in the article that, the chemical and physical makeup/ properties of clothes washed by this scp is identical to those of a normal laundry detergent if this "ingredient" is the only difference, then why isn't that in the chemical makeup? Anyways other than that, I really love the idea behind this article. I also loved the execution.
