vtwonenWe do many household tasks on autopilot: we don't immediately think about why we do it a certain way, but we do it out of habit. You can also count laundry in that list. However, there are certain things that are good to know when it comes to this job. What type of laundry should you do using liquid detergent and when do you prefer to choose washing powder? thanks for the vtwonen.be You will understand it from now on once and for all.
Benefits of liquid detergents
Liquid detergents dissolve quickly in water. This is ideal for washing at low temperatures such as 20 and 30°C and short wash programmes, because the detergent starts working immediately when the washing machine starts running. Colored laundry is also easier to clean using liquid detergents, because it does not contain bleach and the colors are not affected.
It is easy to determine the amount of liquid detergent by pouring it into a bottle cap, squirting a drop into a “laundry ball” or using a capsule. This means you waste less product and your laundry is more sustainable. Liquid detergent is also better for the environment, because synthetic fibers containing this agent are less likely to be released into drained water.
Reading advice: Why is the remaining time in your washing machine never correct?
In short: When do you use liquid detergents?
When running a short wash cycle
If you wash at low temperature
If you are doing colored laundry
Your washing machine also deserves due attention: This way it lasts longer and bacteria doesn't have a chance.
Benefits of washing powder
Powdered detergents are often much cheaper than liquid detergents and leave a slightly fresher scent on clothes. But the powder dissolves less at low temperatures, which can cause stains on fabrics. Washing powder can be divided into two different categories: main detergents and sensitive detergents.
Main laundry detergent: This is only suitable for permanent colors (colored wax) and white wax. Laundry powder often contains bleach. So red wine, sauce and juice are no match for washing powder. You can also use main laundry detergent for wash programs at 40, 60 or 90°C. Since the powder often contains bleach, it can be harmful to your washing machine. Therefore, always read the packaging carefully first.
Gentle cleanser: This product is made for fine fabrics, such as wool and silk. Delicate laundry detergents do not contain bleach and are therefore ideal not only for delicate laundry, but also for colored clothes. Whether or not it contains brighteners varies depending on the delicate washing powder, so always read the packaging carefully before using it.
Small loads, big loads: This is the maximum amount you can fill the washing machine with.
In short: When do you use washing powder?
If you wash at high temperature
If you wash white or colored clothes
If you want to whiten stubborn stains
