Different detergents, including different brands and product names, have different polar properties of surfactants, the main ingredient of detergents.
Which is better, washing powder or laundry detergent?
Some people use laundry detergent to wash their clothes, while others prefer laundry detergent. So which one is better, washing powder or laundry detergent? The small editor makes a comparative analysis of laundry detergent and laundry detergent, and now shares it with you.
Component comparison
Let's first look at the main ingredients of washing powder and laundry detergent. The main ingredient of washing powder is an anionic surfactant: sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate. The main ingredient of laundry detergent is a surfactant (nonionic + anionic/cationic surfactant).
Laundry detergent has stronger decontamination ability
Because the main ingredient of laundry detergent is non-ionic surfactant, it has stronger decontamination ability and has triple effects of washing, softening and sterilization. You can also choose the fragrance you like to make the clothes fragrant and refreshing. The washing powder contains a variety of additives, which are easy to deposit, will have a lot of foam, and is not easy to bleach. Washing powder is also more likely to have residues.
Laundry detergent is more environmentally friendly
Some laundry detergents contain phosphorus, which hinders the body's absorption of calcium. If there is residual phosphorus on clothes, it will cause a burning sensation on the skin and cause irritation to the skin. If a large amount of phosphorus is discharged into wastewater, it will also cause serious damage to the environment. At present, the Blue Moon laundry detergent we use does not contain phosphorus, which not only reduces the damage to the human body, but also protects the environment.
Laundry detergent protects hands better
The washing powder is alkaline, and if you don't wear gloves when washing clothes, you will hurt your hands. And the laundry detergent is close to neutral. For example, the Blue Moon laundry detergent we commonly use now uses a neutral and mild formula, which will not hurt your hands without wearing gloves, and will not cause harm to the clothes. Because the laundry detergent is close to neutral, it is OK to use laundry detergent for silk clothes, wool clothes and other clothes that cannot be washed with alkaline detergents.
Laundry detergent is more cost-effective
Some people think laundry detergent is cheap, but it is not. Laundry detergent is not easy to rinse off, while laundry detergent is easy to wash. So using laundry detergent saves water and electricity. And laundry detergent is used less than washing powder. Long-term use, laundry detergent is more cost-effective and economical than washing powder.
And in high hard water areas such as North China, the saponification of washing powder is serious, and the decontamination power is greatly reduced.
The difference between washing powder and laundry detergent
Laundry is a mundane thing in life. Among the products used for laundry washing, laundry detergent has always played a major role. However, more and more people today prefer laundry detergent, because laundry detergent is mainly composed of non-ionic surfactants, which have strong decontamination ability and can penetrate deep into the fibers of clothes to play a washing role, and the decontamination is more thorough. So what is the difference between laundry detergent and laundry detergent? Let's take a look.
1. The washing powder cannot be completely dissolved during use, and the residue can easily cause damage to the clothes, and it is not easy to rinse; while the laundry detergent can be completely dissolved and dissolves quickly, easy to rinse and wash, and will not hurt the skin and clothes.
2. Laundry detergent is highly alkaline (pH value over 12), and gloves need to be worn during use to reduce skin irritation; while laundry detergent pH value is neutral, the formula is mild and does not hurt hands.
3. The technical content of laundry detergent is higher, which is easy to add various active ingredients. After washing, the clothes will be fluffy, soft, smooth and shiny, and have the effect of sterilization and long-lasting fragrance. The comprehensive cost of use is low, and it is widely accepted by people.
4. The waste liquid produced by washing powder cannot be completely degraded in nature, causing eutrophication of river water and causing great pollution to the environment. The laundry detergent can be completely degraded without causing pollution to the environment. The variety of laundry detergent is dazzling and diverse, and its fashion consumption is widely popular.
Can washing powder and laundry detergent be used together?
Can washing powder and laundry detergent be used together to wash clothes?
The laundry detergent is neutral, with a pH value between 6 and 8, while the washing powder is alkaline, with a pH value before 9-14. Washing clothes with alkaline laundry detergent can corrosively damage the fibers of the clothes, irritate the skin, and even burn.
2. Different detergents, including different brands and different product names, have different polar properties of surfactants, which are negative; positive and neutral, and detergents from different manufacturers will add various additives for different reasons. If different detergents are mixed, the lighter ones will reduce the washing effect, and the heavier ones will contaminate the clothes, making it difficult for the clothes to achieve the decorative effect in the normal state in the future.
