Manufacturers offer different forms of detergents – powdered, tablets, gels. Recently, another option has appeared on the market – sheet washing powder. Learn how to use it and how it differs from conventional powders.
Leaf Laundry Powder
The main problem of detergents is the presence of harmful components, and the better they wash, the more aggressive substances they contain. The most harmful ingredient in synthetic detergents (SMCs) is phosphates. The first phosphate-free analogs were significantly inferior to phosphate ones in cleansing abilities. Manufacturers are constantly working to create products that combine efficiency and environmental friendliness. Washing powders in sheets – the development of Korean scientists.
What does the powder look like in sheets?
The wash sheets are square in shape. The smell is weak or completely absent. The main difference and advantage of the plates is the composition. They are made from a compressed powder and, unlike regular SMS, do not contain phosphates, phosphonates, zeolites and parabens. All these substances, entering the human body, contribute, slowly but surely, to the development of dangerous diseases, including cancer.
Many EU countries have banned SMS with phosphates, phosphonates and zeolites.
So that the cleanliness of linen does not require such terrible sacrifices, chemists have created compounds without toxic substances. They cope well with complex contaminants without harming people’s health. Perhaps, by creating such an unusual shape, the manufacturers wanted to highlight their product, make it recognizable. The new safe agent, differing not only in composition, but also in form, attracts attention, stands out among hundreds of items.
What is the composition?
The main active ingredients in Korean washing plates:
- enzymes;
- lipases;
- proteases.
All these components are characterized by natural origin, but at the same time they perfectly wash off pollution.
