What are the differences between laundry detergent and laundry powder?

Laundry detergent and washing powder are both commonly used detergents in modern life, and the history of washing powder is longer than that of laundry detergent. However, with the improvement of people's living standards, many people prefer to use laundry detergent, which is more convenient to use. Washing powder also occupies a large market. Let's take a look at the differences between laundry detergent and washing powder. I hope everyone can understand.

1. Comparison of main ingredients

Let’s first look at the main ingredients of laundry detergent and laundry liquid. The main ingredient of laundry detergent is anionic surfactant: sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate. The main ingredient of laundry detergent is surfactant (non-ionic + anionic/cationic surfactant).

2. Laundry detergent has stronger decontamination ability

Because the main ingredient of laundry detergent is non-ionic surfactant, it has stronger decontamination ability and has the triple functions of washing, softening and sterilization. You can also choose your favorite fragrance to make your clothes fragrant and refreshing. However, laundry detergent contains a variety of additives, which are easy to deposit, produce a lot of foam, and are not easy to rinse off. Detergent is also more likely to leave residue.

3. Laundry detergent is more protective on your hands

Detergent is alkaline and will hurt your hands if you don’t wear gloves when washing clothes. The laundry detergent is close to neutral. For example, the Blue Moon laundry detergent that we commonly use now adopts a neutral and mild formula. It will not hurt your hands without wearing gloves and will not cause damage to clothes. Because laundry detergent is close to neutral, it can be used to wash silk clothes, wool clothes and other clothes that cannot be washed with alkaline detergents.

4. Laundry detergent is more environmentally friendly

Some laundry detergents contain phosphorus, an element that can hinder the body's absorption of calcium. If there is any phosphorus residue on clothes, it will cause a burning sensation and irritate the skin. If phosphorus is discharged into wastewater in large quantities, it will cause serious damage to the environment. The Blue Moon laundry detergent we currently use does not contain phosphorus, which not only reduces harm to humans but also protects the environment.
