What washing powder is better than white linen. What washing powder is best for washing in a machine?

Many powder is charged with the duties: it must effectively remove impurities, smell good, condition clothes, preserve the color and quality of fabrics, soften hard water, protect parts of the washing machine and at the same time be safe for humans and the environment. Meanwhile, outdated standards are in place in our country, allowing manufacturers to add to the composition of the powders much of what has long been banned in European countries. That is why buyers should be on the lookout: the ability to independently determine an effective and safe powder will help protect their family members from many health ills.

How safe should be washing powderWhat requirements should it meet? The world hygiene science has determined that effective and safe detergents do not contain phosphates, chlorine-containing substances, sulfates, ammonia, silicates and boron. As for surfactants, their amount in detergents should be strictly limited: no more than 2% anionic surfactants, no more than 2% cationic surfactants, and no more than 3% nonionic surfactants. Also limited should be the amount of salts of toxic acids (not more than 1%) and flavorings (not more than 0.01%). Only such quantities of active substances are reliably rinsed out of the laundry and do not cause noticeable harm to human health and the environment.

The rating of the best washing powders included the most effective and safest detergents for humans. Composing it, we focused not only on the composition of the powder, but also on the opinions of real customers. We hope he helps you make the right choice.

The best low-cost washing powders

It is known that the pricing of any product includes, in addition to cost and margin, the cost of advertising and product promotion. The price of expensive washing powder is often determined by the presence in its composition of expensive aromas, bleaches and conditioners, as well as the form of detergent. So, the cost of the powder is significantly increased:

• tableting (a tablet can be placed directly in the drum without measuring the required dose of detergent);
• granulation (granular powder does not dust when poured);
• dissolution (liquid detergents dissolve and rinse out more easily).

That is why the most expensive tool is not always identical to the highest quality.

3 SARMA Active Lily of the Valley

The most inexpensive powder
  Country Russia
Average price: 50 rub.
Rating (2017): 4.7

Laundry detergent from the Nevskaya Cosmetics factory costs 2 times less than the promoted brands, and its effectiveness is comparable with both Persil and Ariel. At the same time, this powder is unpopular among housewives. And this is no accident: the composition contains phosphates, sulfates, silicates and optical brighteners, the content of anionic surfactants is exceeded (up to 5-15%). To rinse these substances is very difficult, because the same phosphates are washed out of the tissue only after 10-12 cycles of rinsing in an automatic machine. In this regard, buyers do not recommend using this powder for washing children's clothes, as well as underwear and bedding.

Advantages:

• suitable for any fabrics;
• well washes complex contaminants;
• has a low price;
• possesses antibacterial properties;
• bleaches light fabrics.

Disadvantages:

• contains a large number of anionic surfactants;
• contains phosphates, sulfates and silicates;
• contains optical brightener.

2 Ariel Mountain Spring Machine

Best whitening powder
  The country: USA (production Russia)
Average price: 100 rub.
Rating (2017): 4.8

Ariel powder, barely appearing in Russia in 1991, immediately gained the fame of a miracle cure, because the housewives no longer needed to boil the laundry - the powder whitened it perfectly and eliminated complex pollution during normal washing. This powder remains the best today. This is confirmed by numerous tests, as well as customer reviews. Ariel "Mountain Spring" is ideal for washing clothes, towels and cotton sheets, but is not recommended for knitted clothes. According to buyers, cotton knitwear “sits down” during Ariel’s washing.

As for the composition, here everything is not so optimistic. The composition of Ariel is worse than that of Persil: there are no phosphates, but there are zeolites, and the content of anionic surfactants is exceeded to 5-15% (should be less than 5%). Zeolites, by the way, make linen coarse and tough, and in terms of harmfulness they are only slightly better than phosphates (they are substances of organic origin).

Advantages:

• preserves the pristine whiteness of things with regular use;
• bleaches cotton fabrics;
• rinsed well.

Disadvantages:

• contains optical brightener;
• not recommended for dark and colored fabrics;
• "Sits" knitwear;
• quickly consumed;
• not suitable for woolen and silk fabrics;
• contains zeolites;

World science classifies detergents as the most dangerous substances of those with which a person continuously contacts in everyday life. Moreover: in the book “Hygiene of the use of synthetic detergents”, which was published for a limited circle of physicians back in 1977, it was said that anionic surfactants have a tremendous effect on the reproductive ability of a person, the effect of which “... is similar to ionizing radiation” .

The best baby washing powders

In August 2015, experts from Roskontrol magazine tested six children's laundry detergents. During the test, it turned out that all the tested samples contain a very large number of surfactants, exceeding the maximum allowable values \u200b\u200bby several times. Surfactants are known to be extremely toxic to childhood organisms. Penetrating through the skin, they cause not only allergic reactions in children, but also impaired immunity, destruction of internal organs and destabilization of the nervous system.

Residents of modern megacities are increasingly discovering various allergies. One of the most common causes of such a reaction, doctors seriously consider the environmental situation. Food producers aggravate the situation by adding harmful preservatives, which, although they improve the taste, but ruin our health. Household chemicals are no better - often a rash on the skin and itching appear from a poor-quality powder.

For kids and adults

It’s sometimes difficult for allergy sufferers to find a detergent. Therefore, we present a rating of children who will do the least harm.

From birth, we try to protect children from chemistry. Newly made mothers do everything possible to continue breastfeeding, and they themselves try to use exclusively healthy products. Then the probability of switching to the milk mixture is reduced, and the baby's immunity is strengthened in a natural way.

Another problem is diapers. It is simply impossible to do without this hygiene product for up to two years. It is worth buying diapers only in trusted places, because counterfeiting is quite common these days.

And finally, washing powder. Diapers, baby's undershirts and tiny bodysuits get dirty with great speed, and we can’t do without us.

The rating of washing powders for babies opens the tool “Our mother”. Many parents recommend this particular concentrate, due to its hypoallergenic properties. As a part, silver ions are declared, as well as decoctions of a string and chamomiles, the presence of which will not be able to harm even the smallest. According to user reviews, washing powder   perfectly copes with its task, and in the case of hand washing does not dry the skin.

In second place is the brand “World of Childhood”, whose manufacturers are proud of the absence of flavorings, synthetic additives and dyes. We are confident that such a tool will cope with baby diapers and vests, but traces of grass are definitely not on his shoulder.

The next in quality continues “Stork”. This universal remedy contains aloe vera extract, acting as a conditioner. Judging by the reviews of mothers, the powder copes with all kinds of pollution. However, it cannot be used for washing silk and wool.

Children's "Tide", according to the manufacturer, is suitable for sensitive skin. Despite the extract of aloe and chamomile in the composition, parents increasingly complain of allergies from this powder in newborns.

Caution, Allergy!

The rating of detergents for babies contains samples that cause the most complaints from consumers. The products of Eared Nannies are well known to us - they are various detergents and bright yellow packaging with a bunny. The powder easily copes with any impurities even at low temperatures, and with constant use it does not damage the tissue. However, it is this remedy that sounds more often than others when talking about allergies in babies.

As part of the “Children's Tender Freshness Myth”, the manufacturer honestly indicated the presence of synthetic components, optical brightener and enzymes that could cause an unpleasant reaction.

The worst powder recognized "Peanut". The inscription on the package “does not cause allergies” in practice does not pass the test. With handwashing, many mothers complain about sneezing and discomfort in the nasopharynx, so we do not recommend experimenting with a newborn.

Detergent for the whole family

In order to find out which detergent is suitable for all family members (except for babies), we examined the most famous brands. Every day, TV ads tell us about the magical properties of powders that can cope even with the most complex tasks.

All tests, according to the results of which the rating of the best washing powders is compiled, pass approximately the same. A group of experts takes tissue samples, in our case, cotton, and puts the most popular spots on them: chocolate, ketchup, wine, grass, gouache, dirt, cosmetics and motor oil. For greater effect, test specimens are left for some time so that the contamination penetrates the tissue structure as best as possible.

The next step is washing according to the dosage and temperature recommendations on the package. Experts evaluate how well the powder coped with a particular pollution.

P&G

The best detergents, the ratings and reviews of which deserve first place, are produced by “Procter and Gamble”. Among the brands owned by this company, you can find Pampers, Venus, Always, Oral-B and other personal care products and household chemicals that fill the store shelves.

Two types of Ariel powder - “Color Lenor“ and “Mountain Freshness” shared the first place. Laundry detergents did a great job with mustard, ketchup, dirt and gouache. The only thing that Ariel failed to do was to completely remove stains from cosmetics.

Nefis

The top three also included BiMax “100 spots”. Laundry detergent from Nefis Cosmetics (the largest russian manufacturer) easily overcame all declared pollution, with the exception of mustard. It is worth noting that the results of the study completely coincided with the opinion of the hostesses. Many consumers, when compiling their rating of automatic washing powder, prefer BiMax. Sometimes this tool is not used for its intended purpose, for example, for cleaning cutlery. The effect is obvious, but no one has studied the consequences of using household chemicals, so we do not recommend experimenting.

Among the incredible variety of offers of detergents, it is difficult to determine the best. Every day on the shelves of supermarkets you can see hundreds of different offers, hundreds of different brands, different volumes, compositions. How to choose? Laundry detergent, for which you will not spend a lot of money, and has a small weight, which will soon lead to the fact that it will quickly end. Or expensive, but, according to sellers, very economical, without phosphates, made using the latest technology, and in addition multifunctional, which can be washed, cleaned with pleasure. Or you may need to take a product with various additives, enzymes, in combination with a conditioner that is specialized in use.

• 1st place. The leader among detergents is another TOP HOUSE product - TOP HOUSE concentrated super effective washing powder. It has enhanced washing ability.

What to choose? The choice is yours. In our top 10, the most worthy options were presented.

When choosing a powder, we, of course, want it to provide excellent washing quality and, with the wave of a magic wand, make dirty laundry with stains perfectly clean. And with all this, he should be careful about the fabric. Then what kind of washing powder is better to wash everything?

Each washing powder cleans certain contaminants better or worse. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to disassemble in the types of powder.

Types of washing powders

All washing powders are divided into powders for hand washing or washing in machines of the activator type, as well as powders for automatic washing machines. The purpose of the powder is always indicated on its packaging.

If we compare the composition of washing powder for hand washing with powder for an automatic machine, then they practically do not differ. The only difference is that the powders for the automatic machine foam less. Excessive amount of foam impairs washing things in the machine. During washing, its drum rotates, things rise and, falling, beat against water - this is what increases the efficiency of washing. When there is too much foam, it begins to hold the laundry like on a pillow, therefore, things can be removed worse. Therefore, for this type of washing, use only special low-foaming laundry detergents marked “Automatic”.

The composition of the washing powder

Modern powders mainly contain the same substances: phosphates, surfactants, soda, bleaches, antifoams (for automatic washing machines) and some other components. Also often in the composition of washing powder you can find the word "enzymes", they are also bioadditives. These components cope well with spots of protein origin.

Such a powder can easily wash off blood, wine, and much more, which ordinary soap and cheap powder cannot handle. However, silk and wool items cannot be washed with modern powders with bioadditives, they discreetly corrode natural fabrics, and things quickly wear out. For wool and silk, select the powder with the appropriate inscriptions on the package.

Ecological laundry detergents are slightly more expensive than conventional detergents. Their main difference is that they do not contain phosphates, and therefore quickly decompose without harming the environment. It is phosphates that destroy the stratum corneum of the skin, thereby facilitating the penetration of harmful substances into the body, especially for children.

Choose a powder

It is best not to skimp and purchase special washing powders for different types of washing: for colored items, for products from wool and silk, for delicate fabrics, for items that need bleaching and stain removal.

If you purchase a universal washing powder, you should carefully select the program and temperature for washing. But universal powders usually wash worse than special ones.

When choosing a quality powder, keep in mind that you can not boil linen with it. High temperature is strictly contraindicated for modern detergents, otherwise high-quality powders will behave as cheap. High temperatures destroy biologically active substances. Most often, housewives wash at 40 degrees and at this temperature, modern powders are most effective.

What is the best washing powder?

Almost all tested powders showed sufficient washing efficiency, overcoming the standard of 30%. The best results and the efficiency of washing in 65-75% showed Persil, Ariel and Tide washing powders.

Perfectly clean linen without a single spot is the dream of any self-respecting housewife, especially when there is very little time for washing, and the family is big. Therefore, women are wondering which washing powder is the best to wash, looking for the most effective, experimenting for a long time and not always finding it.

Indeed, in addition to the cleanliness of things, we also want the fabric to not be damaged when washing, and also that its components do not cause allergies.

So all the same, how to determine what is the best way to wash?

Each of the powder formulations has a different effect on different types of contaminants. It is also very important how you wash clothes, what fabrics they are made of. Therefore, you first need to familiarize yourself with the varieties of detergents.

Kinds

All detergents can be divided into the following categories:

• for hand washing;
• for washing in activator type machines;
• for automatic machines.

The purpose of the detergent should be indicated on its packaging.

If we compare the compositions for handwashing and for the automatic machine, we notice that they almost do not differ.

The only difference is, perhaps, the great ability of the first to foam. Excessive amount of foam affects the quality of washing clothes in the machine. Her drum spins during operation, things turn over and hit the water. It is precisely these water strokes that increase the efficiency of cleaning clothes.

If too much foam is formed, it keeps the laundry from falling like a pillow, and therefore, washing things off worsens. Therefore, for the automatic machine, you only need to use special detergents marked “Automatic” and foam absorbers in their composition.

Composition

Powders of a new generation mainly contain the same substances:

• surface active compounds
• phosphates;
• soda;
• defoamers;
• enzymes or dietary supplements;
• bleach
• flavorings and fragrances;
• components from scale (for machines), etc.

In the composition of almost all detergents in the first place are surfactants (surfactants). They combine perfectly with fats, remove stains and general pollution, washing them out of the fabric. This is the main component that directly provides clean laundry. An exception to this rule is children's washing powder and bio-powders, in which the percentage of surfactants is much lower.

Means with enzymes well wash off spots of protein origin in automatic machines. Such a powder can easily remove traces of blood, wine, and much more, which is beyond the power of ordinary soap and cheap composition. However, it can not be used for silk and woolen things, as it imperceptibly destroys natural fabrics, which leads to quick wear of things. For these fabrics, you need to select funds with the corresponding marks on the package.

In modern powder formulations, delightfully white linen makes "Active oxygen".

Their prices are slightly higher than usual. Their main difference is that they do not have phosphates, which allows them to decompose quickly, without violating the environment and without harming human skin.

After all, it is phosphates that damage the stratum corneum of the skin, thereby facilitating the penetration of harmful microorganisms and substances into the body, especially for children. Use a harmless powder to wash children's clothes! And for the care of newborn underwear, buy detergents based on natural soap.

How to choose a powder?

On the market we see a very large assortment of products of domestic and foreign brands. But focusing only on the price and promising colorful advertising when choosing is impossible. In terms of sales and customer reviews, the leading positions in our market are held by products from Losk, Persil, Tide, Ariel. They have proven themselves to be quite effective, although they are not suitable for everyone.

Now that we know that the types of washing compositions differ in the content and quantity of certain additives, we’ll try to figure out how to choose them correctly.

Additives can be designed for different types of tissue and certain contaminants. The quality of washing with any composition is precisely determined by the necessary ratio of certain additives and their type of matter and stain. The quality of these enzymes also affects the effectiveness of washing, because some manufacturers use better chemical components, while others use cheaper ones.

If you have to wash clothes from very different materials, it is best to buy special powders for various types of fabrics:

• for things made of wool and silk;
• for color products;
• for bleaching and stain removal;
• for delicate fabrics;
• children’s.

Also, do not ignore washing liquid gel and capsules.

If you decide to use a universal detergent, carefully select the program and temperature. Keep in mind that even with the most suitable washing regimen, universal powders do not wash as well as special ones.

When choosing an expensive high-quality dry powder, remember that you can not boil linen with it. High temperature is categorically contraindicated in modern high-quality detergents, otherwise they will work as cheap.

High temperatures kill biologically active substances. Wash at 40 degrees - at this temperature they are most effective.

What affects the quality?

If the powder formulations are approximately the same, then maybe you should not chase the brands, but rather use cheap ones?

It turns out that the amount of active additives and the percentage of ballast and surfactant directly affect the quality of household chemicals. According to experts, it is more efficient to wash with the addition of 150 g of an expensive product than 300 g of a cheap one.

This is due to the fact that an inexpensive powder contains a large amount of sodium sulfate, which does not have a cleansing effect or any other effect. That is, this substance is simply ballast, because of which the consumption of such a composition increases sharply.

A characteristic feature of quality is the tendency of the granules to stick together with a difference in humidity, rather than crumble.

A distinctive quality of an inexpensive powder is the poor solubility in any water, regardless of temperature. This is especially noticeable with handwash. But, if you look closely, you can see that even with machine wash, sodium sulfate is very poorly washed off from colored things and leaves white spots.

Liquid gel or capsules are a good alternative to powder, since they are guaranteed to quickly dissolve in water and at the same time retain bright colors.

How to use powder formulations in an automatic machine?

The rules for successful washing with powder in the machine are extremely simple:

• choose a washing product according to the type of laundry and the type of soiling;
• use it exactly in accordance with the dosage indicated on the package (excess of it will lead to excessive foaming, and a lack of it will lead to a lack of active ingredients);
• its amount should correspond to the amount of laundry in the car;
• when washing at low temperatures, you need to pour less of it: it does not dissolve well in cold water, so you should not waste it;
• always read the instructions on the packaging and stick to it.

Of course, children's clothes need to be washed with special compounds that contain special ingredients that remove stains from juices, chocolate, paints, etc. It should also be borne in mind that water in different places and even in different areas of the same city is markedly different in hardness.

This explains why some women praise the same baby powder, while others criticize. Here you can only experimentally find baby powder for washing, which will be most effective than all.
