Description and use of liquid powder "Laska"
Recently, liquid laundry detergents have become more and more popular. And this is understandable. Such formulations are easier to rinse out, not as aggressive as conventional powders. Regular use of liquid powders helps to preserve the original appearance of things dear to your heart for a long time.
How the powder works
We can safely say that the mechanism of action of the powder, as well as its effectiveness and safety, directly depend on the composition. Means "Laska" of any kind contains:
- Nonionic surfactants;
- Soap;
- Fragrance;
- Phosphonates;
- Preservatives;
- Butylphenylmethylpropional;
- Amilcinnamal;
- Polymers;
- Dyes;
- Air conditioning.
During the washing process, surfactants envelop the fibers and break down dirt, as they contain soap. And since the soap component does not penetrate inside, but "works" on the surface, the liquid powder is easily rinsed out. It is thanks to this "scheme" of work that the Lask formulations are hypoallergenic and safe for children.
The dyes added to the composition of the product restore the shades of white and black fabrics without thinning the fabric. Therefore, after washing "Laska" things not only do not become more worn out, but, on the contrary, return to their original appearance.
The conditioner (balm-conditioner), which is present in the composition, makes the fabric soft to the touch and gives it a pleasant aroma.
Advantages and disadvantages
It is contraindicated to wash down jackets and jackets made of membrane fabric with powder detergents. First of all, because then it is very difficult to rinse out the detergent, stains are bound to remain. Therefore, liquid formulations for washing outerwear are a real godsend. The main thing is to strictly follow the recommendations indicated on the package.
The main advantages of "Laska":
- Convenient packaging. No need to puzzle over how to measure a certain amount of the product, there is a convenient cap.
- There is an opportunity to purchase in the amount you need (buy more or less - it's up to you).
- It dissolves perfectly in water.
- There is no need to overheat the water, even warm water will have a decent effect.
- Suitable for both hand wash and washing machine, which means you do not have to purchase multiple products.
- You do not need to use an additional conditioner.
- Can be purchased at any store within walking distance.
- Perfectly removes stains of different origins.
Important: things made of natural silk, wool and cashmere are not subjected to heat treatment in any case, as they lose their shape (stretch, or, conversely, shrink). In addition, it is not recommended to wash colored laundry in hot water.
There are much fewer drawbacks, but they do exist. Most often, liquid powder is "accused" of not coping with perennial stains and dirt of technical origin. But it is important to just be more careful, for example, greasy stains, traces of hair dye, berries, it is better to wash it by hand immediately, before they dry. If you see that the fabric on the cuffs and collar darkens - wash the product in an automatic washing machine.
In addition, a relative disadvantage can be called a far from budgetary cost, and not a very economical expense. For some housewives, a large bottle only lasts for a month.
Features of using "Laska" for a washing machine:
- If the drum is loaded no more than halfway, the wash performance will be better;
- Wash colored items separately from whites;
- Pour liquid powder into the second compartment;
- Use 0.5 to 1 caps per wash.
Well, in order to preserve the properties of the fabric, choose the right temperature regime.

To extend the service life of things, the manufacturer offers a large assortment of Laska liquid powder:

Important! Each product is effective for a specific type of fabric or color, so be selective and do not try to do just one product for washing all the laundry you have.
Washing features
There are two categories of items that deserve special attention when washing. These are sportswear and damaged items.

Today, the manufacture of sportswear is impossible without the use of modern technologies that increase the air permeability of things and their thermoregulatory properties.
