The difference between softener and laundry detergent

Fabric softener and laundry detergent are two completely different products. As people's quality of life begins to gradually improve, many families have a variety of cleaning products on hand. The main function of fabric softener is to protect the surface fibers, and the washed clothes will be very soft. Laundry detergent can clean stains, but there are no specific requirements.

Laundry detergent is a "detergent" and fabric softener is a "builder". The simplest difference is that fabric softener has no ability to remove stains, it is only used to make the fabric fluffy and retain its fragrance.

The function of Jingao fabric softener is to evenly form a protective film on the surface of fabric fibers. Due to the adsorption of softener on the fiber surface, the friction coefficient between fibers is reduced, the mobility is enhanced, and the inherent smoothness, extension and compression properties of the fibers are also restored, so the fabric becomes softer, fluffy and elastic. By the same token, the "protective film" of the softener reduces the friction between fibers and thus improves the static electricity phenomenon of cotton, wool, silk, and especially chemical fiber fabrics to a certain extent.

Placing detergent correctly can achieve the best washing effect for your clothes. Please follow the steps below to place the detergent correctly:

1. Open the detergent drawer.

2. Add appropriate amount of detergent into detergent box "Ⅱ".

3. If you want to use Jingao Jingao softener, please add it to the detergent box "*". Please do not put powder or liquid detergent into the softener "*" box. (Note: Before pouring, concentrated or viscous fabric softeners and conditioners must be diluted with a small amount of water to avoid clogging and inability to add. Do not use excessive amounts of softener, which should not exceed the lower edge of the reference of plug-in A "MAX".)

The detergent is alkaline but cost-effective

Washing powder is an alkaline synthetic detergent with strong detergency, good solubility and easy use. It is superior in resistance to hard water and rich foam. It is also relatively cheap and is a cost-effective laundry detergent.

Zhang Huatao, deputy secretary-general of the China Detergent Association, introduced that laundry detergent is more suitable for washing cotton, linen, chemical fiber and blended fabrics, but not suitable for washing wool, silk and other clothes. Because wool, silk and other clothes contain protein, and laundry detergent is alkaline, it will damage the clothes. Detergent has a better washing effect in warm water than in cold water. It dissolves evenly in warm water, and surfactants can exert greater effectiveness. The water temperature should be between 30 and 60℃.

There are more and more types of laundry detergents, and their performance varies. Currently, there is an enzyme laundry detergent that has an alkaline protease biocatalyst added to it, which can "digest" stubborn protein stains such as blood stains, milk stains, grass stains, etc., and can also remove odors. Enzyme is a heat-sensitive substance, and temperature is an important factor affecting enzyme activity. Therefore, the water temperature for washing with enzyme-added laundry detergent should be controlled at around 40°C. Do not use water above 60°C to soak the detergent, so as to avoid the enzyme losing its activity and affecting the cleaning effect. Enzyme laundry detergent cannot be used to wash wool, silk and other fabrics containing protein fibers, because enzymes can destroy the structure of protein fibers.
