There are numerous options for laundry detergent today such as laundry powder and liquid detergent. However, liquid laundry detergent wasn't available until the 1950s. Before that, most people used powdered detergent and laundry pods were not invented in the 2000's.

There are three options available. What should you consider when choosing the best one? We'll help you select the best laundry detergent.

Powdered Laundry Detergent

In the present, you'll find it difficult to find lavender laundry soap on the shelves in shops (but it's still popular in other countries). However, it's a less expensive option compared to liquid detergents and laundry pods and it can leave your clothes looking just as clean as other brands.

Why choose powdered detergent?

Powdered detergent is cheaper than liquid detergent, and it will last longer. This is due to the properties of powder detergent have a longer shelf-life. In addition powdered detergent works best for tough stains, such as clay, grass, and mud stains as it contains linear alkylbenzene sulfonate an anti-spray compound that is effective in removing staining.

Furthermore, powdered detergents are packed in cardboard boxes that are recyclable more easily compared to plastic containers, making it the greenest choice in unscented laundry soap.

Powdered Detergent Cons

The main problem with powdered soap is that it leaves remnants in your washer especially if you're using very cold water since it may not dissolve fully into the water at that temperature. The residue can also get onto your clothing, which can make them appear dirty, even though they've just washed in the washer.

As mentioned previously, its packaging may be more environmentally-friendly but it is bulky and difficult to handle and store. The powder must be stored dry to avoid becoming too lumpy.

We recommend powdered laundry soap to anyone looking to wash off the most stubborn stains from their outdoor adventures and also reduce the carbon footprint of their activities.

Liquid Laundry Detergent

The most popular choice for laundry soap is liquid detergent for laundry. It's simple to use, and was the most popular choice prior to the introduction of laundry pods in 2000.

Why choose liquid laundry detergent?

The cost of liquid laundry soap is less expensive than all-in-one laundry detergent pods. It is also available in a wide variety of scents that can make your clothes smell nice. Because it's liquid, it easily mixes with the water within the machine and will not leave residue.

Liquid detergent is also helpful for treating grease stains because it has alcohol ethoxylates, which are effective against staining caused by oil.

Consistencies for liquid detergent

The bulkier plastic bottles used to store liquid soap could cause environmental problems. The soap is also made up of water. This adds weight and causes it to be less environmentally friendly.

Liquid detergent comes with a drawback that it may reduce the efficacy of cleaning products such as oxygen bleach, which can be unstable when mixed with water.

Laundry pods

Laundry pods were introduced to the market for laundry in 2012. Laundry pods or pacs have rapidly grown in popularity and overtaken laundry powder to become the most sought-after detergent choice.

Laundry pods: Why choose these?

The most convenient laundry pacs available laundry soap flakes They are single-use pacs which contain detergent , and are usually mixed with other cleaning materials. They dissolve in water, making them less messy.

Each pac is pre-measured to prevent overuse of detergent and leave behind a residue. Because there is only a small amount of water contained in the pods the cleaning agents are steady for longer time, and still deliver the best quality of cleaning.
