Recently, our market has been particularly in demand for safe and effective powders from Germany. But it turns out that they have a serious competitor – Japanese washing powders are superior to their Western European competitors in terms of environmental friendliness and safety. Let’s find out what the Japanese offer to our consumers.
Why Choose Japanese Laundry Detergents?
Features of synthetic detergents (SMC) made in Japan:
- Eco-friendly and hypoallergenic. Products are made on the basis of natural ingredients – soap and natural materials.
- concentration. Concentrated SMS is convenient to buy, store and dose – they are very economically spent.
- Versatility. They can be used for any linen – they perfectly wash whites and colors, do not leave streaks and do not worsen the color saturation.
Japanese SMS has one significant drawback – high cost. But those who value their health are willing to pay for safety.
When using concentrated products, it is important to follow the dosage exactly. During normal washing, the powder is placed in compartment II (B) of the washing machine, while soaking – in compartment I (A).
Do not put granular product into the drum. This is especially dangerous for colored items – fabrics can become discolored.
Today, more and more people are learning about the catastrophic harm of phosphates. These chemical compounds have a detrimental effect on health, and when they get into drains, they destroy the environment. Japanese products are gaining popularity due to the absence of phosphates and hazardous surfactants. Japanese brands use only non-ionic surfactants in powdered products, which have the property of 100% biodegradation.
