Which German washing powder to choose? TOP 10 popular funds

German brands are highly valued not only in the technical field, but also in the field of household chemicals. Not only the quality of washing, but also the health of all family members depends on the detergent. We will find out what German washing powders are on our market, how they differ and for what purposes they are intended.

Features of German-made powders

The main requirements for washing powders are efficiency and safety. Products from German manufacturers fully meet these requirements. Their products are usually universal – effective even in cool water, suitable for different materials, for adult and children’s clothing. Most of the products from Germany are phosphate-free.

phosphates once actively used in the manufacture of washing powders. As it turned out, they negatively affect human health, and when they get into the environment, they cause the water to bloom in the seas and rivers (and this is not all the troubles). Phosphate-free powders are in trend today. Leading European manufacturers have long abandoned this component.

Advantages and disadvantages

German concentrated products are not available in every household chemical store. But they can always be ordered online. Of course, you need to choose official distributors so as not to buy a fake.

Conclusions

Summing up:

• German detergents emphasize on safety. Products from Germany mainly phosphate-free. It does not harm health and nature.
• The consumer constantly has to choose between intensive washing and safety. Phosphate-free products are safe, but inferior to phosphate powders in effectiveness. They simply do not wash many dirt, you have to wash it several times, add amplifiers or go to dry cleaners.
• Products manufactured under German brands, can be made in Russia – it is cheaper, but inferior in quality to the original product from Germany.
• There is no “magic” powder that can wash any dirt. Even the highest quality powders cannot cope with all types of contaminants. During washing stain removers may be needed, enhancers, soaking and other ways to deal with dirt.

German powders are effective and safe, their main disadvantage is their high cost. If you care about the health of your family and you care about the environment, buy products that do not contain phosphates. When buying, pay attention to the country of origin – powders produced in Germany are washed more efficiently.
