When it comes to daily laundry, laundry powder or laundry detergent, as well as laundry beads, are naturally indispensable. Whether choosing machine washing or hand washing, these three are the most commonly used laundry products.

However, the three products may seem similar, but in reality, laundry powder, laundry detergent, and laundry gel beads have certain differences in essence.

That is to say, when cleaning clothes with laundry powder, it needs to be rubbed by hand to remove the dirt on the clothes. If you don’t rub by hand, the particles inside the laundry detergent cannot melt, so laundry detergent is not suitable for machine washing clothes.

When cleaning laundry detergent, simply pour the detergent into the washing machine without melting it, because it is a liquid and can directly blend with clean water. However, the cleaning power of laundry detergent for clothes is not as strong as ordinary laundry powder!

Moreover, laundry powder has better stain removal ability than laundry detergent. This is mainly because laundry detergent is in granular form, which can cause significant friction between clothes and increase the friction between them. Moreover, stains are easier to remove, and the cleaning ability of laundry detergent is relatively weak. However, if it is summer clothes or lighter clothes, it can still meet the requirements. But for winter clothes, laundry detergent is still better.

What about laundry gel beads? Let’s leave a suspense for now! Laundry powder, laundry detergent, and now the laundry gel beads, if you want to find the most suitable one for you, but you still don’t understand the difference between these three!

08 We will summarize the advantages and disadvantages for Laundry powder,Laundry detergent and Laundry beads

 

1. Laundry powder

Advantages: The cleaning effect is very strong and can effectively clean dirty clothes.

Disadvantages: Not easy to dissolve and rinse, causing significant damage to clothing; If not completely dissolved in water, there may be residues that can cause skin allergies and dryness when in contact with clothing.

2. Laundry detergent

Advantages: Compared with laundry powder, it is gentler and causes less damage to clothes and skin. Clothes washed with laundry detergent will be softer and fluffier. Additionally, laundry detergent usually does not contain phosphorus, and its impact on the environment when discharged outdoors is minimal, making it more environmentally friendly.

Disadvantages: Compared with laundry powder, laundry detergent has weaker stain removal ability; The price of laundry detergent is slightly higher; The ability to remove dirt is weaker, and for clothes with large stains and difficult to clean, pre-treatment or secondary cleaning is needed.

3. Laundry beads

Advantages: No need to estimate usage every time, just one at a time; Compared to laundry detergent, it has stronger stain removal ability and occupies less space. Secondly, a laundry gel bead is equivalent to a fabric softener, antibacterial agent, fragrance bead, and laundry detergent.

Disadvantage: The outer membrane of the gel beads is prone to breakage when exposed to water, and once damaged, it can cause other gel beads to stick together. Therefore, when taking them, keep your hands dry; Not suitable for hand washing, it can easily cause waste, and the price is slightly higher.

 

Finally, we would like to say that laundry powder, laundry detergent, and laundry gel beads each have their own advantages and usage habits. Personally, we tend to lean towards laundry detergent, which we often use.
