Manufacturers offer different forms of detergents - powdered, tablets, gels. Recently, another option has appeared on the market - sheet washing powder. We learn how to use it and how it differs from ordinary powders.
Laundry Detergent Powder
The main problem of detergents is the presence of harmful components, and the better they wash, the more aggressive substances are in them. The most harmful ingredient in synthetic detergents (SMS) is phosphate. The first phosphate-free analogues were significantly inferior to phosphate analogues in purifying abilities. Manufacturers are constantly working to create tools that combine efficiency and environmental friendliness. Laundry detergents in sheets - the development of Korean scientists.
What does the powder look like in sheets?
Washing sheets are square in shape. Smell - poorly expressed or completely absent. The main difference and advantage of the plates is the composition. They are made of compressed powder and, unlike conventional SMS, do not contain phosphates, phosphanates, zeolites and parabens. All these substances, entering the human body, contribute - slowly, but surely, to the development of dangerous diseases, including cancer.
Many EU countries have banned SMS with phosphates, phosphanates and zeolites.
So that the cleanliness of the linen does not require such terrible sacrifices, chemical scientists have created compounds without toxic substances. They cope well with complex pollution without harming human health. Perhaps creating such an unusual shape, manufacturers wanted to highlight their product, make it recognizable. A new safe tool, not only differing in composition but also in form, attracts attention, stands out among hundreds of items.
What is the composition?
The main active ingredients in Korean washing plates:
- enzymes;
- lipases;
- proteases.
All these components are characterized by their natural origin, but at the same time they excellently wash off the pollution.
