After receiving a salary, everyone has a shopping list, and when a test purchase is planned, washing powder will certainly be included in the leading list along with other purchases for the home.

As you know, there are a lot of laundry detergents and let's see which washing powder is good, and the rating of the top 12 will help you make a choice in favor of quality.

Naturally, it is difficult to talk about which washing powder is better, especially without knowing your laundry preferences. Therefore, before buying the first powder for a typewriter familiar from advertising, you need to determine its purpose.

So, before choosing a washing powder, select a specific group for yourself, for example:

• Group "universal". This group necessarily includes a very different powder, one that is suitable for white linen, and for synthetics, and for colored fabrics. Also, such products remove a large amount of contaminants.
• Group "special". This group of powders for an automatic machine includes those that contain special additives that fight a certain type of pollution, for example, yellowness or grayness of linen.
• Group "standard". As a rule, the best powder from this group is suitable for frequent washing and for clothes that are not very dirty.

Of course, when choosing which powder will be better for washing, your things must be checked for the quality of its constituent substances and try not to pay attention to the name.

It is known that a safe powder, in which there are few active substances, weakly removes stubborn dirt. The same thing happens and vice versa, the best powder that removes stubborn dirt does not please with quality and price.

Among other things, the best washing powder should not cause allergies. It is quite possible to find one on the shelves. If you are looking for a really high-quality product, then you need to rely on your needs, or rather on what types of pollution you most often take, as well as what types of fabrics prevail in your wardrobe.

Best Inexpensive Laundry Detergents

While with many products there is a rule that price directly reflects quality, this is not always the case with powder. Of course, no one will deny that the rating of the best washing powders certainly includes well-known brands of manufacturers, such as Procter & Gamble, Nevskaya cosmetics, Persil, etc.

But the winner is not the most recognizable product, but the one that has been tested, necessarily harmless and of high quality. But to find cheap products that meet environmental standards and are able to remove dirt with 100% probability is almost impossible.

But despite this, not hyped Ariel or Tide entered the cheap rating of washing powders. Even if the name of the product does not evoke any associations in memory, this does not prevent it from getting into the TOP of 2016 and 2017, which passed the test of washing powders among consumers and perfectly cope with the task assigned to them.

So, which powder will answer you better, our small TOP, which contains the most affordable laundry detergents.

Sarma-Automatic Mountain freshness

If you have a lot of white laundry and you wash it often, then you will probably need a lot of powder in order to satisfy the need for frequent washing. Naturally, every housewife wants to save money, especially when it comes to expensive detergents.

One of the laundry detergents is Sarma powder, which is also used for colored laundry. This powder perfectly shows its qualities in the form of whitening, thanks to the enzymes included in the composition.

eared babysitter

For those parents who constantly struggle with stains from juices, paints and grass, the Eared Nanny remedy is perfect. Of course, the advertisement in the photo, which demonstrates its hypoallergenicity with inscriptions, has nothing to do with this, since children are still sensitive to the substances that make up the composition, namely phosphates.

But if these substances were not contained there, then it would not cope so well with various kinds of pollution, which ordinary powders rarely or incompletely wash.

Bimax 100 spots

No less effective in terms of fighting for cleanliness from all kinds of stains is Bimax powder, which is used for almost any type of linen (with the exception of delicate fabrics).

Many note its high efficiency in the fight against complex stains. But this powder has not very high-quality solubility at low temperatures, as well as poor washing when washing "Mini".

Losk 9 Total system automatic Mountain lake

The hostess, accustomed to the practicality and versatility of detergents, is perfect powder from Losk. This tool is used as a powder for cleaning various surfaces, and also use it for its intended purpose for any type of fabric.

The only drawback that he is accused of is the strong aroma that can cause allergic reactions.

Persil Expert Color automatic

For washing colored clothes, it is quite difficult to choose a product, especially when it is subject to frequent pollution. Many powders, containing bleaches, affect the colors and give them whiteness, but Persil helps to preserve the color.

After the washing powder refreshes clothes with new colors. Also, the components included in the composition perfectly fulfill their purpose for removing stains.

The best washing powders: price - quality

Of course, the name that every best washing powder has is not sold for a penny. Therefore, the washing powder corresponds in quality to its price and vice versa, but this is not always the case.

Sometimes manufacturers completely forget about the quality of raw materials, as well as its safety for the body. As a result, not only the reputation of the manufacturer suffers, but also human health. Also, cases of fakes, especially popular brands, are not excluded.

In any case, if you are sure that the laundry detergent that you buy in the store is original, then by all means pay attention to its composition. After all, as mentioned above, the price and quality are different.

Ariel Mountain spring machine

As always, Ariel is considered one of the best detergents, this powder is not only able to remove dirt at temperatures below 20-30 degrees, but also has a subtle unobtrusive aroma.

Many note that the consumption of this product is quite economical, but the cost and attitude to some delicate fabrics leaves much to be desired.

Persil submachine gun "Frosty Arctic"

But it should be understood that optical brighteners are included in the composition, which means that when washing white linen, you will see the illusion of whiteness, and not actually bleached fabric. Also, the existing fragrance often becomes a problem for people prone to allergies.

Ecover ZERO NON BIO Universal

If you are looking for an environmentally friendly product to wash your clothes, then the Belgian Ecover ZERO will not disappoint you. This powder is intended for those people who care about their health and their loved ones.

There is nothing in the composition that could cause the body to react to its substances, since only BIO-surfactants are found here. Also, this product is odorless, which certainly puts it in the ranking of the best and most harmless.

Tide white clouds

If you do not suffer from allergies, and frequent feasts force you to remove all kinds of stains from the tablecloth, then Tide is one of the few able to clean everything that satisfied and well-fed guests left behind.

This tool copes not only with traces of coffee or wine, it is also able to remove lipstick stains. It also has the advantage of being economical.

Top House Super Effect

For those housewives who are used to spending a lot of powder in one wash, it's time to change the product. This great economical helper is Top House Powder Concentrate.

For washing, this product will last for a long time, since its strong concentration involves the use of a small amount at a time. Washes colored and white linen with equal efficiency. But the disadvantage is the high price.

Which powder is best for white laundry

Of course, if you want to find a good washing powder specifically for white laundry, then you need to choose a composition that includes safe bleaches. As a rule, safe washing powders contain either optical or oxygen bleaches.

This version of the composition is most preferable, since chlorine-containing substances are poorly washed out and can significantly affect human health, especially children, and always not for the better.

Therefore, if you are looking for a safe laundry detergent that whitens, and not just gives the illusion of whiteness, then choose an oxygenated formula. But do not forget, when choosing a washing powder, you should rely on what things you will use it for.

If you do not suffer from allergies, then any laundry detergents are suitable for you, and bleach (in powder or liquid form) is used separately.

But if the bleaching powder is bought in order to give whiteness to baby diapers and undershirts, then it is better to abandon aggressive compounds in order to avoid skin rashes.

Which powder is the most harmless

Naturally, a good powder will be gentle and not contain surfactants or have a safe amount of them. Young mothers and housewives will be especially concerned about finding the best laundry detergent.

After all, the safest version of the powder does not mean that it will be useful for washing at all. All safety lies in the fact that soap chips are usually included in the composition, but surfactants are practically not mentioned, the same applies to phosphates.

Of course, such gentle substances are not only harmless to the skin, since they are easily washed out from the fibers of the fabric, but they are also harmless to the washing machine, since they do not settle on the hoses and are easily washed off the surface.

But the chosen safe product does not always do the job, especially when it comes to children's pollution left from playing on the grass, juices and other pollution. Therefore, choose a product that washes and does not harm health.

Ecover Concentrate

As you know, in order for the powder to manifest itself as it should, it needs surfactants that do an excellent job of cleaning fabrics. Naturally, the more surfactants, the better the effect after washing.

But a concentration above 5% indicates that anionic surfactants can adversely affect human health. The concentrate from Ecover contains from 5-30% of these very anionic surfactants, so it should be used with caution when washing children's clothes.

baby speci

We have already said above that children's laundry detergents must be the most gentle, but looking at the packaging, you should not trust written advertising headlines. Before choosing, take a look at the composition.

Baby Speci powder, which is intended for children's things, is full of all kinds of surfactants (from 5% and above), as well as optical brighteners that are difficult to wash out of the fabric.

The best washing gels

Just like the best laundry detergent, liquid laundry detergent doesn't come cheap. The thing is that the cost is directly related to the consistency of the substance, and at the same time, the laundry gel is much more effective and easier to use compared to powder granules.

These substances are easily washed out of the fibers of the fabric and at the same time cope with pollution better and are intended for delicate items made from natural threads (silk or wool).

But the best laundry detergents, called gels, also have some drawbacks, such as price, low efficiency, and leaving residue on the pipes of the machine (if they are abused in quantity).

The most popular liquid products are the gels of the following brands:

• Persil Expert Gel;
• synergetic;
• Gel Wellery DELICATE Color.

The abuse of phosphates, surfactants, chlorine and other hazardous substances in the composition of household chemicals for the care of linen and clothes forces one to buy organic and safe for health, in a word, the best washing powders on the market. Finding them is quite difficult, but we have selected for you the most effective, versatile and reliable products for washing children's and adult clothes, both manual and automatic, in a typewriter. This rating was created specifically to make it easier for you to choose the most suitable option for you.

Below is a table with the pros and cons of the two types of funds:

Type	Advantages	Minuses
Dry	Lower price compared to the liquid option	May cause allergies
	Absorbs moisture	Able to enter the lungs when inhaled particles
	Long shelf life	Sometimes remains in the tray, which makes consumption uneconomical
Liquid	Effective at all temperatures	Doesn't work well on heavy stains
	Usually softens fabrics	Big expense
	Has an unobtrusive scent	Does not always whiten in addition to clearing impurities
	Washes off easily	High price
	Hypoallergenic

Based on the results of this table, we can draw the following conclusion: for children and parents with a tendency to allergies, liquid and encapsulated products will be the best choice. The dry version is relevant in all other cases, mainly for washing things from coarse fabrics and when removing heavy dirt.

All housewives want the washing machine to work as long as possible and perform its functions with high quality. Few people think that the service life is affected not only by compliance with the rules of operation, but also by the choice of powders for automatic washing machines. How to choose the right detergent so that it can wash clothes well and at the same time does not harm appliances? We will try to answer this question in this article.

General requirements for washing powder

Often, when buying household chemicals, we are guided not by common sense, but by advertising broadcast from TV screens. Most consumers choose washing powder exactly according to this principle: the hand habitually reaches for a familiar color label with a well-known name. Sometimes the decisive factor is the low price or reviews of friends. Unfortunately, the last thing the buyer thinks about is the effect of the powder on the condition of the washing machine.

When choosing a detergent, it is worth considering not only its cost, hypoallergenicity, washing quality, but also the effect on the internal elements of the machine. Many manufacturers add phosphates to the powders, designed to reduce water hardness. Despite certain benefits, additives adversely affect the service life of some parts of the equipment. It is impossible to check the presence of phosphates in home products, and unscrupulous companies may not indicate information about them on the label.

Often, housewives draw conclusions about the properties of washing powder based on the results of washing, which is not always true. The powder must meet the following requirements:

• do not contain hazardous additives;
• do not cause allergic reactions and other skin irritations;
• qualitatively wash things from pollution;
• wash out well from fabric fibers;
• do not leave sediment on the internal parts of the machine;
• give linen freshness and a natural pleasant aroma;
• do not clog filters.

If a laundry detergent meets the above criteria, it can be considered a high quality product. Next, we will tell you what to look for when choosing a powder for an automatic washing machine so that it meets each of the requirements.

What you need to know about powders?

Any powder consists of chemical compounds. In the composition of the product, surfactants are usually in the first place. They react with fats and other contaminants, dissolving them and removing them from clothing. These are the main components that play the role of soap and ensure the washing process. Other ingredients include dyes, fragrances, bleaching agents, fragrances, enzymes, anti-scale active additives, etc. Today's popular biopowders and laundry detergents for baby clothes contain a lower percentage of surfactants (compared to conventional ones).

Powders vary in the content of various additives. But how to make sure that among them there are no substances dangerous to humans? Pay attention to the packaging - it should have a special mark of conformity. If it is, then the product has been tested and received a safety certificate. Unfortunately, on fake funds you can also find a similar sign applied without the permission of the checking organization.

Experts advise choosing laundry detergent in boxes rather than plastic bags (the latter are easier and cheaper to fake).

To answer the question of which powder washes better, you need to pay attention to the ratio of all components. Usually expensive powders have more additional additives designed for different types of contaminants. The more special components in the product, the more stains and dirt it can overcome. But this is just a theory. In practice, the testing of washing powders for the quality of washing is not included in the list of procedures mandatory for manufacturers. And if the product has a safety certificate, this does not mean that it will be able to wash clothes with high quality. By and large, you can only find a good product by testing products from different brands.

How to choose the right washing powder for an automatic machine

To choose the right detergent, you need to consider the type of fabric you plan to wash, as well as the type of soiling. For white things, you will need a powder with a bleaching effect, and for colored materials, you need to choose products that can maintain the saturation of tones. When you need to wash delicate fabrics, use a gentle liquid washing machine detergent that rinses completely off your clothes. This will extend the life of your favorite things. Also determine the degree of soiling of clothing. If you are constantly dealing with very dirty things, it is better to buy a powder with a lot of additives to help remove stains. The main characteristics of the detergent are usually highlighted in large print on the packaging.

For washing in automatic mode, you need to choose a special powder for an automatic washing machine, which forms less foam than a hand wash. If this rule is not observed, excess foam in the drum can lead to damage to the parts of the unit. Therefore, choose a powder with a special designation "Automatic" on the package.

Whenever possible, it is best to give preference to powders that say "non-toxic" or "environmentally friendly." They are less harmful to human health, because they do not contain hazardous substances.

The powder should contain less than 5% surfactants and less than 12% phosphates.

Before using the selected powder, you should read the instructions. Do not exceed the norm: this accelerates the wear of the unit parts. Manufacturers often specify the maximum allowable amount of powder in order to increase consumption and, consequently, sales. The following dosage can be considered sufficient for washing: 1 tbsp. l. powder per 1 kg of loaded things, i.e. 1.5-2 times less than what is written in the instructions. It will not be superfluous to also observe the following rules:

• when using a liquid detergent, the water temperature should not be higher than +60 ℃, and pre-washing is not required at all;
• if you wash a small amount of things, the amount of powder must be proportionally reduced;
• for washing children's clothes, add the product not to the powder compartment, but directly to the drum to things (this will increase the effectiveness of the product).

Video

We suggest watching a video that tells how to choose the right powder for a washing machine, depending on the type of clothing, type of fabric and other criteria:

Fresh lemon is not only good for tea: clean the dirt from the surface of an acrylic bath by rubbing with half a cut citrus, or quickly clean the microwave by placing a container of water and lemon slices in it for 8-10 minutes at maximum power. The softened dirt will simply be wiped off with a sponge.

The habit of using the washing machine “economically” can lead to the appearance of an unpleasant odor in it. Washing at temperatures below 60 ℃ and short rinses allow fungi and bacteria from dirty clothes to remain on internal surfaces and actively multiply.

To combat moths, there are special traps. In the sticky layer with which they are covered, pheromones of females are added to attract males. Sticking to the trap, they drop out of the breeding process, which leads to a decrease in the moth population.

Before removing various stains from clothes, you need to find out how safe the chosen solvent is for the fabric itself. It is applied in a small amount to an inconspicuous area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe thing from the wrong side for 5-10 minutes. If the material retains its structure and color, you can move on to stains.

Stretch ceilings made of PVC film can withstand from 70 to 120 liters of water per 1 m 2 of its area (depending on the size of the ceiling, the degree of its tension and the quality of the film). So you can not be afraid of leaks from neighbors from above.

The easiest way to remove scale and soot from the sole of the iron is with table salt. Pour a thick layer of salt on the paper, heat the iron to the maximum and several times, pressing lightly, run the iron over the salt bedding.

In the dishwasher, not only plates and cups are washed well. It can be loaded with plastic toys, glass shades of lamps and even dirty vegetables, such as potatoes, but only without the use of detergents.

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 that you will not spend a lot of money on and has a low weight, which will soon lead to the fact that it will quickly run out. Or expensive, but, according to the sellers, very economical, without phosphates, made using the latest technology, and in addition multifunctional, which can be washed and cleaned with pleasure. Or maybe you need to take a product with various additives, enzymes, in combination with a conditioner that is specialized in use.

Washing powder has become an indispensable assistant that is required every day. Its active ingredients do an excellent job with washing, however, being sprayed in the air, remaining on fabrics and penetrating the skin, they are harmful to health. In the West, they have long studied this problem and have become environmentally friendly powders with a safe composition. Some of these powders can be bought from us.

The most common type of allergy to household chemicals is a reaction to washing powder.

Harm of conventional powders

In our country, washing powders under the brand name of world brands (Henkel, P & G) containing anionic surfactants (a-surfactants) and phosphates in high concentrations have been established. A-surfactant is the main active component of the powder, which, upon contact with the skin, is absorbed through it into the blood, distributed through the tissues, accumulates in them, changes the composition of the blood and reduces immunity. For safety in the powder of anionic surfactants should be no more than 3-5%. But most sold powders of a-surfactant contain 5-15%. Phosphates increase the dangerous effect of a-surfactants on the human body and pollute the environment. Optical brighteners are harmful. They remain on the linen after rinsing and create the illusion of clean linen. Contact with skin may cause irritation.

Rinsing should be carried out in hot water, because surfactants and phosphates are practically not removed at temperatures below 50 ° C.

Powders can be environmentally friendly

Today, in Europe and the USA, in the production of washing powders, a-surfactants are replaced with biodegradable surfactants or eco-surfactants, which are made from glucose and alcohols, chemical fragrances are replaced with natural essential oils, and phosphates are replaced with a natural substance sodium disilicate, which increases washing efficiency.

In the Russian market, Frosch has established itself as a safe washing powder. This environmentally friendly German powder does not contain harmful surfactants, bleaches and phosphates. Ideal for families with children and . At the request of the manufacturer and the reviews of Russian housewives, all Frosch household chemicals are very effective products that are safe for humans and the environment.

Another eco-powder is Frau Helga. It is also completely soluble in water, does not contain phosphates, and rinses out perfectly. The content of a-surfactants is not more than 5%.

Russian development - environmentally friendly concentrated washing powder for Faberlic. All components of this powder are of vegetable origin. It also does not contain phosphates, a-surfactants derived from palm oil.

At first glance, safe powders are expensive, but this is an erroneous opinion, because they are very concentrated, and very little is required to add to the wash. Thus, one pack of eco-powder always lasts longer than usual.

Automatic washing machines have long been an integral part of everyday life. Their appearance in everyday life allowed a woman to save her time and effort. Having entrusted washing to an automatic machine, you can spend an evening with your family. In order for the device to serve for a long time and properly, proper use and careful care is required.

Instruction

Read the instructions that came with your automatic washing machine carefully before you start using it. Locate the detergent compartment at the top of the machine. With a little effort, open the box by pulling it towards you.

The detergent compartment most often in typewriters has three compartments. Determine the purpose of each individual compartment. They are marked with numbers or special icons. The gradation in washing machines is usually as follows: the left compartment is for the main wash, the right compartment is for prewash, and in the middle is the compartment. By the size of the compartments, you can also determine their purpose: a large one for the main wash, a smaller one for prewash, the smallest one for rinse aids.

To determine where to fill the washing powder, you can use the following method. Start the washing machine. Wait for the moment when the flood of water begins. Pull out the detergent compartment and see which compartment is filled with water. This will be the compartment for the main wash. It is necessary to pour the washing powder in the required amount into the compartment intended for it before washing. Also fill in the appropriate compartment conditioner.

To define the main wash compartment, pour water into the drawer. From the compartment designed for detergent, water will instantly flow into the tank. If necessary, the detergent compartment can also be pulled out during washing, for example, if you need to add fabric softener. In a situation where the detergent is not completely washed out of the compartments with water, clean the box.

There are special detergents that must be put directly into the tank of an automatic washing machine. These are powders that do not have multi-colored granules in their composition. Their use when washing in the tank of the machine requires a special container.

Advice 3: How to choose washing powder and what they are

A good washing powder should not only perfectly wash things, but also not harm either the fabric or the health of your loved ones. Modern manufacturers offer such a huge selection of washing powders that, at times, it is very difficult to understand all this diversity and make the right choice.

Types of laundry detergents

The quality of washing directly depends on how suitable the powder you purchased is for your purposes. Each package indicates which wash it is suitable for - hand wash, automatic machine or activator type machine, this inscription should not be neglected
Powders for hand washing lather well, unlike those intended for washing machines. Therefore, you can not use such a product for "automatic washing", because. the machine will not be able to wash and rinse the clothes well. It is equally important to consider what type of fabric the powder is intended for. Usually there are powders of three types: for linen and cotton, for wool and synthetics, and universal.

Ordinary washing powders can harm a child's sensitive skin. They often cause irritation to the skin and mucous membranes. Therefore, for washing children's clothes, it is necessary to choose special powders with a less harmful composition, i.e. not containing soda and bleach. The same applies to allergy sufferers.

There are two types of bleach in laundry detergents: chemical and optical. The first includes bleach, all kinds of peroxides and oxygen. All these substances destroy the color in the fabric. But it should be borne in mind that oxygen is more gentle on fabric fibers, so it can even be used to wash colored laundry. Optical brighteners do not destroy color, but hide it. Its action is based on the fact that the powder contains special particles that settle on the fabric and mask spots. After washing, they remain on things, and when light falls on them, it refracts and colors them in blue, violet and blue, making the fabric appear snow-white.

How to choose a good powder

First of all, you need to carefully study the packaging. It is good if it indicates that the powder is non-toxic or environmentally friendly. But, despite this, it is necessary to study its composition. The content of surfactants in a good laundry detergent should be less than 5%, and the amount of phosphate products should not exceed the threshold of 12%.

It is best not to save on your things, but to purchase a separate powder for each type of fabric. For wool and delicate fabrics, cotton, white, black and colored items, there must be a separate detergent for washing children's clothes. In addition, it is advisable to purchase a stain remover powder. You should also pay attention to what type of washing the powder is intended for - manual or machine. Moreover, if the “manual” does not foam well, this indicates its poor quality.

It should be remembered that the quality of washing depends not only on the washing powder, but also on the correct use of it. Not enough detergent will make washing ineffective, and the excess will remain on the fabric. It is considered the norm that for 5 kg of things you need 5 tablespoons of powder, and for 4-4.5 kg - 4.
