How to use capsules for washing

Out of habit, most people use detergent without thinking about changing the cleaning product. Many of them are unaware that the capsules are rightfully considered more effective. Today, eminent manufacturing companies produce gel composition for white and colored fabrics. The incoming components fight the most difficult contaminants, such as rust, fuel oil, blood, wine, etc. For certain reasons, washing capsules do not inspire confidence in 10% of the population.

Benefits of Laundry Capsules

Consider the positive aspects of this tool in front of the powder.

1. Thanks to the innovative composition, the incoming components exceed the physical capabilities of the powder by 2–2.5 times. It is due to powerful bleaches that mistresses easily remove the most complex contaminants, without resorting to the procedure of boiling or soaking.
2. After washing with capsules, there are no bright spots or stains on clothes. When laying, there is no dust that usually occurs when powder is added. The free-flowing capsule composition is very convenient to use if the washing machine is installed in the kitchen and not in the bathroom.
3. The indisputable advantage of drugs of this kind is considered to be that a concentrated conditioner is already included in the capsule. Many people mistakenly argue about the high price policy of the product, but do not forget that the powder and rinse aid will come out more expensive.
4. An innovative product suitable for washing delicate fabrics. Capsules are used in the processing of underwear from expensive materials, which are usually washed by hand. Also, the composition copes with complex pollution on silk, suede, linen.
5. The amount of the starting component contained in the capsule is sufficient to fully wash all things. It doesn’t matter for 3 or 7 kg. the drum of a household machine is designed, the final result from this will not change. Hence, there is no need to measure the product in grams, as is the case with powder and conditioner.
6. When washing clothes with capsules, you do not have to include repeated rinsing, since the composition is washed the first time. In addition, the product dissolves in water at minimum temperature for a short time (mode 30 degrees and below).
7. The undeniable advantage of capsules for washing in front of powder is their cost-effectiveness. In the hope of saving their favorite clothes from complex contaminants, the housewives pour more powder into the compartment of the machine. When the bulk composition is washed with water in the drum, it loses from 3 to 5% (the mixture sticks to the walls, gets stuck in the openings, etc.). In the case of capsules, such a feature is absent, the whole composition goes "to business".

Disadvantages of Laundry Capsules

1. Any innovative product is criticized by housewives and competitors. The main drawback of people is the inability to break one capsule into 2 or 3 parts. A similar need arises in cases where the drum is not clogged even by 1/3. From the foregoing, we can conclude that regular washing of things in a small amount will adversely affect the user's wallet.
2. As mentioned earlier, washing capsules have a high price policy in contrast to powder. For this reason, if things are not very dear to you, the costs will be unjustified.
3. Many consider it a drawback that after washing with capsules things smell quite intensely. In the case of powder, a similar feature is not observed.If the smell does not suit you, refuse to process products located next to your face (pillowcases, towels, etc.).
4. Not all housewives can use only capsules for washing, since household fabrics do not require such a thorough approach. For this reason, it is recommended to use two compounds at the same time: the powder is useful for washing men's "work" things, capsules will be an excellent assistant in the fight against pollution on more expensive products.
5. A significant drawback is the appearance of the capsules on the part of children. The product resembles a bath bomb or a silicone toy filled with water. Therefore, small bullies can inadvertently take a capsule in their mouth, which will cause poisoning. Do not cause the child excessive interest, keep the packaging in an inaccessible place.

Popular Laundry Capsules

There are several popular manufacturing companies that have proven themselves in the Russian market.

1. "Ariel Active Gel." Products rightfully occupy a leading position in the list of the best cleaning products. The company produces capsules for washing not only colored, but also white things. Green capsules are designed for light fabrics, while blue-violet capsules are designed for colored linen (restore shade, increase brightness). The world famous manufacturer has made capsules so that they include a gel of high concentration and powder, which acts as a bleach. A double blow removes the most difficult dirt in 1 wash. According to numerous consumer reviews, Ariel capsules do not destroy the structure of delicate fabrics, preserve color, give softness, and facilitate easy ironing.
2. Tide Alpine Freshness. Despite the effectiveness of this product, capsules leave an intense smell on clothing. It is difficult to bring it out even after drying and wearing clothes completely, which is not suitable for everyone. Convenient and ergonomic packaging is approved by most housewives, but the capsules are not designed for washing children's clothes. For the most part, Tide is bought to remove old blood stains, rust, wine and fuels and lubricants. The product also perfectly supports color, preserves the structure of the fabric.
3. "Persil Duo-Caps." The product is considered an analogue of the aforementioned company Ariel, their quality and pricing policy are on the same level. The capsule is divided into 2 sections, the first contains a stain remover, and the second contains a concentrated gel. For the most part, the product is designed for washing colored fabrics, but is also used for light linen. As a result, the composition is considered universal, there is no need for soaking, boiling or additional whitening of things. Blue bombs are placed in the drum of a household appliance and completely dissolved, leaving no stains or stains. Since the company “Persil” strives to become the first competitor to the manufacturer “Ariel”, the capsules have exactly the same properties: color retention, improved shade brightness, effective removal of complex contaminants, hypoallergenic composition.

Composition of Laundry Capsules

As a rule, all manufacturers adhere to a single scheme in terms of incoming components. High concentration gel for cleaning products and a stain remover in the form of powder (or liquid) are the fundamental components. Of course, each manufacturer wants to stand out, creating its own secret components. The latter include surfactants (nonionic and anionic), flavored soap and additives of this kind, enzymes, phosphonates. In addition to these components, the innovative composition of the capsule includes optical brighteners designed specifically for products of a particular shade (light, color).

How to use Laundry Capsules

1. Place 1 capsule on the bottom of the drum (in the middle), load clothes on top. Separate white linen from color to avoid staining of fabrics.
2. Select the appropriate mode. It is important to remember forever that the capsules can cope even with complex contaminants at low temperature conditions. Therefore, if you usually wash at 30 degrees, you should not change the habit.
3. After all preparations, press the start button of the machine, wait for the end of the wash cycle.

Capsules are environmentally friendly, they can be used to wash baby clothes and allergic things. The product ranks first in the list of the best hypoallergenic products, which is considered an undeniable plus. The packaging with washing capsules is ergonomic, it does not take up much space and is convenient to use. The lid easily opens and closes, no need to put on a clothespin in the form of a clip.
