Tips for Selecting Laundry Detergent
Before looking at the sales ranking, let’s check the tips for selecting laundry detergent! It is important to choose one depending on your washing machine and clothing materials.
●For drum type washing machines and ones saving water, liquid laundry detergent is recommended. Washing powder often remains without being dissolved when it is used with washing machines that use less water.
●If you are busy, you should use gelball laundry detergent! Since you do not have to measure or refill detergent, you can reduce time for laundry in the morning. Please note that it could flow out if it is preserved in somewhere hot or humid.
●Fluorescent brightener in laundry detergent makes laundry look brighter by adding blue and yellowish green without extracting colors. That is why clothes look whiter and brighter. You should not use it for fast fashion items.
●If you dry laundry indoor, you should choose washing powder with bleaching agent in it. The reason why it has odor is that dirt still remains. Washing powder with bleaching agent with excellent detergency is recommended.
