Detergent powder is more aggressive than the
liquid and undoubtedly less advantageous in
in some aspects. It is prepared, usually with
rather, strong substances which also react
through particular substances (enzymes) which
destroy dirt by detaching it from the laundry,
but does exert any abrasion on the fabric. The
laundry washed with detergent powder, when
dried, is rather rough and dry because of these
aggressive substances that are absorbed by
the fabrics. This requires generally rinsing with
fabric softener. Furthermore, the enzymes may
cause allergies in some people particularly
sensitive. Not to mention that it is less soluble,
powder of this type of detergent can be
deposited in the dispenser and in the drainage
system, causing the incrustation of the tubes.
On the other hand, it is the only detergent that
ensures a pure white washing due to sodium
perborate (a strong and aggressive whitening
agent) effective even at low temperatures (refer
to the labelling and the degree of dirt).

The liquid detergent is undoubtedly the most
modern.
It
possesses
features. Being less alkaline, it preserves the
quality of the fabrics. Although it does not
contain abrasive substances however it cleans
nested dirt. Thus, in contrast to the detergent
powder, it cleans without hardening the laundry
fibres, thanks to the absence of an insoluble
residue that upon drying becomes hard. The
laundry is more soft and therefore require
