The best laundry detergents – powders, gels, concentrates

Powder is a popular and old detergent. It consists of granules containing phosphates. These substances are available and cheap, but they have disadvantages:

· Rinse out for a long time;

· Slowly dissolves in water;

· Provoke allergies.

Bleaching agents and enzymes are added to the powders, which are excellent at dealing with dirt. Therefore, such tools are versatile and popular. Nevertheless, their use is advisable only for long wash programs and in the case of heavy soiling.

Some manufacturers have replaced phosphates in powders with safer analogs – silicates and carbonates, which do not cause allergies and irritation, therefore, they are positioned as children’s or hypoallergenic. They are not as effective at fighting heavy contamination as their aggressive phosphate counterparts, and are slightly more expensive.

Washing gels combine the advantages of both types of powders:

· Do not contain phosphates;

· Cope well with pollution;

· Dissolve in water instantly;

· Easy to rinse.

The products brought from Korea and Japan are considered to be of high quality, however, Russian-made gels cope with stains no worse, but at the same time they are much cheaper.
