Yes, that is correct. The "whiteners & brighteners" in modern detergents will cause a glow under black light. So will cloth items that have been dry cleaned. The worst example I have ever seen was an SS uniform vet acquired from his attic that was crusty dirty. After being cleaned, it lit up like a Christmas tree.
