Where to pour and how to use liquid powder

where to pour liquid powderAs an alternative to conventional dry powder, new detergents appear on the household chemicals market, such as liquid powder or gel, capsules and tablets. Particular attention should be paid to liquid powder, because it has several advantages over a dry analog. However, many still can not decide to buy a new detergent just because they do not know how to use it correctly, how much and where to pour it. It is about the detailed instructions for using liquid powder, we decided to write an article.

Instructions for use

Liquid laundry detergent is a gel-like concentrated detergent that contains not only substances that remove dirt, but also substances to soften water and soften fabrics.

On bottles of such products, the manufacturer indicates how much it is necessary to pour funds for one washing cycle, depending on the pollution and the degree of hardness of the water. As a rule, it is 75-150 ml of powder. However, at this expense, you can work on one powder, which is beneficial to the manufacturer. Therefore, do not trust the information on the label.

Skillful housewives have found that for effective washing things with gel-like powder, 1-2 tablespoons of concentrated detergent are sufficient. Moreover, if there are especially dirty items of clothing, then they can be smeared with a product in advance and allowed to lie down. This expense refers to washing machines with an average load of 5-6 kg and a water consumption of 35-50 liters. In machines with a larger drum capacity and water consumptionWhen fully loaded, 3-4 tablespoons of the product may be required.

powder cuvetteAs for where to pour the powder, it is definitely difficult to answer. Everything will depend on the model and manufacturer of the automatic machine. In most "washers" the powder cuvette is divided into three compartments, one of them is for dry powder of the main wash, it is designated II or B. In this compartment, you need to pour liquid powder.

But in some automatic machines, pouring a gel-like product into this compartment is prohibited by the manufacturer. That is why, before pouring, you need to study the instruction manual of the machine. In such cases, the washing gel is poured into a special container, which is put together with things in a drum.liquid container

In modern machines, the powder cuvette has a special device due to which liquid powder can be poured into the cuvette compartment. On top-loading machines, a special shutter may be provided in the liquid compartment.washing machine powder receiver

Liquid Powders: Pros and Cons

Liquid laundry detergents are increasingly gaining popularity, as housewives note quite a few advantages in their application. We list them:

  • such a powder is better than dry rinsed out of things, and leaves no residue on clothes, so it is recommended for washing bulk items, outerwear and wool products;
  • liquid detergent dissolves faster in water and penetrates better into fabric fibers, providing an effective wash;
  • liquid powder suitable for washing delicate fabrics;
  • a bottle of washing gel is convenient to store, while it is hermetically sealed and smells of chemicals do not disappear;
  • components of high-quality liquid powders are more environmentally friendly and safe; such powders are less likely to cause allergies;
  • liquid powder is better washed out of the powder receiver.

Of the shortcomings of the powder in liquid form can be called its high cost. However, this is subjective. And one more minus is that you can wash things with liquid powder at a temperature of no more than 600WITH.

So, you need to use washing gels in an automatic machine not according to the instructions indicated on the detergent, but according to the instructions of the washing machine. It may indicate not only where to pour the detergent correctly, but also how much it is needed.
