Bears will chew off grey water valves on trailers when they smell some detergents. Guys who bait for bears like old donuts, cinnamon rolls, out dated fruit pies etc. my wife works in a bread store out dated goods are favorites with hog farmers and bear baiters. Cows love regular old bread.
Detergents?

When I was a kid, my mom was a surgical nurse for an eye doctor who would throw an annual party for his staff and families at his place in the country. The highlight of the evening was putting out such old bakery items from a local steakhouse on the back patio. We kids were fascinated to watch the raccoons and opossums show up to feast on the tasty & sweet bounty. This was in southern KS so no bears in the neighborhood but a raccoon is a cousin to a bear.
