The principle of action of the "Laska" product
The main purpose of the entire Laska series is to remove dirt and stains from all types of fabrics as carefully as possible. The peculiarity of these gels is that they perfectly wash things at low temperatures - already from 30°C. “Laska” not only washes, but also has a conditioning effect.
The composition includes enzymes and surfactants, which during the washing process create a thin film on the fibers of the fabric. This film instantly dissolves particles of dirt and stains, washing them out of any items. The gel, unlike powder, does not leave grains in the fabric fibers and is completely removed when rinsing. Therefore, such washing products are recommended by dermatologists for people prone to allergies, as well as for children's clothes.
Some Laski products contain dyes and optical brighteners that protect the color of things, preventing them from fading.
After washing with Laska, clothes retain their freshness and pleasant aroma for a long time. Gels can be used for washing in washing machines, as they make the water soft and dirt is washed out faster.
Varieties of "Laska"
To ensure that your clothes don’t wear out longer and are pleasing with their appearance, you need to choose your laundry detergents wisely. A series of gels is intended for different types of fabrics and includes products with different compositions and effects. Let's take a closer look at the Laska line.
"White Glow"
The gel is created specifically for white clothes and bed linen. Powerful whitening formula instantly removes stains and dirt. Clothes are refreshed and become snow-white. This concentrate washes cotton, linen, and synthetics, but is not recommended for use on natural wool and silk. It should also be taken into account that the effect will only be noticeable after several washes, because bleaching agents have a cumulative effect.
"Black Shine"
An excellent product for all types of black fabrics. Washes even delicate and thin lace fabrics. Doesn't wash out the color at all. Black things remain the same black even after many washes. The gel eliminates gray deposits from salts in water. It has an antistatic effect and softens hard water - this is important when machine washing. The substances included in the composition eliminate creases in the fabric, making it easier to iron. In addition, the concentrate protects clothes from pilling.
"The Magic of Color"
Specially developed concentrate for colored items. The components of the gel prevent paint from washing out from fabrics, and softening substances make the surface of the linen smooth. Thanks to this, clothes look almost like new after washing with Laska. By the way, this gel can also wash black clothes. Just remember to separate them from the colored ones. White items can also be washed with this gel, but there will be no whitening effect.
"The Magic of Balm"
The gel is intended for natural silk and wool. Bamboo extract penetrates the fabric and makes the fibers smooth and elastic. The surface of the fabric becomes shiny and all wrinkles are smoothed out. This product can be used to wash items made of velvet, silk, guipure or cashmere. Delicate and thin fabrics will be protected from damage due to the balm in the product.
"Active and Fresh"
This gel washes any sportswear, shoes and equipment. People leading an active life now don’t have to worry - the concentrate will easily eliminate unpleasant odors from sweat and refresh things. The gel easily washes sneakers, sports bags, and swimsuits. Even membrane clothes can be washed with this product - high-tech fabrics will not be damaged. With regular use, your sportswear will always be clean and tidy!
"Care and Repair"
Concentrate for daily washing. This gel perfectly refreshes any clothes, and it can be used for children's clothes. "Care and Repair" is recommended for allergy sufferers because it is completely washed out of the fabric, without leaving even microscopic particles that can irritate the skin. The product protects against pilling and makes things incredibly soft. Gentle care for those for whom it is important to feel comfortable every day.

Composition of gels "Laska"
All products in the line are concentrated liquid gels. In terms of washing quality, they are not inferior to conventional washing powders. The active components quickly dissolve even in cool water and begin to work immediately. Gels do not leave particles in fabric fibers after washing, so they can also be used to treat children's clothes.
The composition of liquid products "Laska" includes the following components:
- phosphates;
- nonionic surfactants (up to 5%);
- washing base;
- emollients (glycerin, lanolin);
- enzymes;
- bleaches;
- anionic surfactants (from 5 to 15%);
- perfumes, preservatives;
- Dyes safe for health.
The enzymes used in each type of Laska gel are different. Some are designed to whiten fabrics, while others effectively break down sweat and biological traces. Still others remove fat and acids. That is why Laska is equally effective at removing both sweat and ketchup stains.
Bleaching agents do not contain chlorine or its derivatives, therefore they act gently and do not destroy fabrics. These bleaches are safe for health.
How to use "Laska"
Before using the concentrate for washing, you need to familiarize yourself with the methods of its use. The instructions for each product are usually indicated on the packaging, and you should not ignore the recommendations given by the manufacturer.
When machine washing, there is no particular difference in which compartment you pour the gel into. You can pour it directly with or without washing powder. Washing powder is sometimes added with “Laska” to enhance the effect, especially if the clothes are very dirty. “Laska” is used sparingly due to its concentrated formula, so one bottle of the product will last for a long time.
Before loading items into the machine, they must be sorted by color and type of fabric. White linen and clothing should always be washed separately.
Let’s take a closer look at how to use “Laska” for different types of fabrics.

For every 5 kg of dry laundry, you can use up to 110 g of washing machine concentrate. When washing by hand, you will need 40-50 g of product for every 5-6 liters of water.

It is necessary to take at least 100 g of product per 5 kg of items when washing in a machine. For hand washing, add 50 g of gel per 5-6 liters of water.

Atlant SMA35M101. This model has a powder receptacle with expanded functionality. In addition to the 3 main compartments, there is a special tray for bleaches. If the housewife wants to use a liquid product, she should install a special curtain according to the instructions.
Miele Wmg120wps. High-tech automatic machine. One of its features is a convenient powder receptacle. Powders of all types are consumed intelligently thanks to “smart dosage” - the device takes as much substance as determined by the program, taking into account contaminants and loading level. In addition to the 3 main compartments, there is a special section for capsules. It can accommodate one unit of the three presented. The manufacturer makes certain capsules specifically for MieleWmg120wps.
Correct filling of liquid powder determines the quality of the wash. If you follow the recommendations in the instructions, taking into account the characteristics of the concentrates, you can count on a positive result.
How to wash black and white
Gel "Laska" provides an individual approach to different types and shades of fabrics. You can be sure that with regular use your items will remain practically new. “Laska” takes care of the fabric and prevents it from deteriorating during washing and spinning.
Wash black and white clothes separately, even if the items don't seem to fade - the heat in the washing machine and exposure to detergents can leave stains on the fabrics. Please note that silk and wool are best washed at low temperatures, while cotton and linen can easily withstand 60°C.
To preserve whiteness and prevent the appearance of gray plaque, it is best to regularly use Laska Shine White gel. Optical brighteners remove stains and dirt, while softeners smooth fabrics and add shine.
Wash black items at low temperatures. The optimal value will be 40-50°C. If you have hard water in your region, the concentrate consumption will increase by 30%, take this into account and increase the dosage if things are more dirty than usual.

Washing colored and sports items
When washing colored clothes and bedding, you need to carefully sort the clothes. Be sure to separate blue and bright red items - these dyes are not very durable and can leave stains. Do not use “Laska Shine White” when washing colored items - the bleaching components will make the color dull. However, gel for colored clothing retains color by retaining the dye in the fibers of the fabric. Softening components make things soft, smooth out creases and add shine.
"Active and Fresh" is the best way to wash and freshen any sportswear. For machine washing, you can select a temperature range of up to 60°C. It is at this temperature that enzymes most effectively eliminate the smell of sweat and make things fresh even after a short wash.
It washes well with Laska and thermal underwear. It becomes fresh and soft, which feels very comfortable when worn.
What to choose?
Before you buy a powder, you should think about what purpose you are purchasing it for?
