15 best washing powders

The duties of the modern powder impose much. It must effectively remove dirt, smell well, condition the laundry, maintain the color and quality of fabrics, soften hard water, protect washing machine parts, while being safe for humans and the environment. Some manufacturers continue to adhere to outdated standards that allow to add much of what is not recommended or prohibited at all. That is why buyers should be alert: the ability to independently determine the effective and safe household chemicals will help protect family members from many health problems.

What should be a safe washing powder, what requirements should it meet? Modern hygienic science has determined that the best laundry detergents do not contain phosphates, chlorine-containing substances, sulfates, ammonia, silicates and boron. As for surface-active substances (surfactants), their amount in detergents should be strictly limited: no more than 2% of anionic surfactants, no more than 2% of cationic surfactants and no more than 3% of non-ionic surfactants are permissible. Also, the amount of salts of toxic acids (not more than 1%) and flavoring agents (not more than 0.01%) should be limited. Only such a quantity of active ingredients is reliably rinsed out of the laundry, does not cause significant harm to human health and the environment.

In the ranking of the best washing powders included detergent compositions of different consistency for cleaning manually or using a typewriter for adults and children's things. Composing it, we were guided including the opinions of real buyers. We hope our top will help you make the right choice.
