Main differences from the usual

Liquid detergents are traditionally used for hand washing delicate fabrics, silk and wool. Recently, liquid detergents have appeared for washing other types of fabrics, including cotton. Liquid detergents are intended for both automatic washing machines and manual washing.

Powdered detergents today still remain the most popular group on the Russian market - their share is about 95%. Conventionally, they can be divided into three price categories: low, medium and high.

Among powdered products, there are granular powders that produce less dust and are more convenient to use. Granulation increases the cost of the powder, so few manufacturers use this method. Powdered detergents can be concentrated, that is, they contain a higher dose of active substances.

Despite the fact that all products are used for washing clothes, they have certain differences:

1. Compound. Unlike powders, cationic and nonionic surfactants predominate in the composition of gels. Bulk laundry detergents contain more anionic surfactants. Therefore, it is easier to refresh the fabric with gel and it is softer.
2. Release form. Unlike gels, powders generate dust when poured into the detergent compartment.
3. Various additives. Due to their liquid formula, manufacturers add various extracts, peroxide salts and water softening components to washing gels. It is impossible to use some of them in the process of making washing powders.
4. Best before date. It is higher for powder than for liquid detergents.
5. Price. Gels are more expensive.
6. Rinse quality. After using the powder, white stains often remain on things.
7. Washing temperature. For gels, the maximum threshold is limited to 60 degrees, and for powder – 90 degrees.

Many housewives prefer liquid detergents, as they consider them more convenient to use. They are satisfied that they are rinsed well and there are no white stains left after them.
