Review of professional washing powders

The name speaks for itself - professional washing powders are intended for industrial use only. You should not pour such a product into your home machine, as it can easily damage the machine and harm your health. But in laundries, restaurants and hotels you cannot do without them: only professional mixtures can remove serious stains and cope with large volumes of laundry. How to choose the best one and which brand consumers trust more – we will tell you in detail in the article.

Chistown Professional

The list of the most worthy professional washing products for laundries and hotels opens with the phosphate-free “Cleantown”. Its main advantage is its natural composition, free of not only phosphates, but also chlorine, aggressive bleaches, strong fragrances and fragrances. The powder is made from natural soap, thanks to which it:

• absolutely safe and hypoallergenic;
• little foam is formed;
• makes subsequent ironing easier;
• protects against scale;
• Easily removes difficult stains;
• does not leave any foreign odors;
• inexpensive - 189 rubles / kg.

Sold in 10 kg bags, which is convenient and economical.

It is considered universal, as it is suitable for machine and hand washing and all types of fabric except wool. However, consumers note that the powder cannot cope with old stains, so they have to run several cycles in a row. Strict control over the water temperature is also mentioned as a disadvantage: white and light-colored laundry must be washed at 60-90 degrees, and colored laundry - up to 40 degrees.

Lesol Wash Soft

The next product, Lesol Wash Soft, is intended for washing down products. The special formula allows you to maintain the breathability and fatty coating of the down, preventing its damage and pilling. Other types of fabric are also carefully cleaned without damaging the fibers or washing out the color. In addition to these advantages, consumers note other positive aspects.

1. Convenient liquid form.
2. The packaging is in the form of a canister with a neck, which makes dosing and pouring into the machine easier.
3. Versatility, allowing it to be used for manual and automatic washing for all types of fabrics and colors.
4. Contains no chlorine or aggressive bleaches.
5. Water softening due to the presence of complexing agents.
6. Biodegradability (the packaging can be reused, and the product completely dissolves in the environment).
7. Sealed due to a tightly closed lid.

The recommended dosage depends on the type of washing: for hand washing - 50 ml per 10 liters, for machine washing - 50 ml per 5 kg of clothes.

There are also disadvantages. Firstly, for better cleaning, things must be pre-soaked. Secondly, you can wash only on a delicate cycle and at a water temperature of 30 to 40 degrees. Thirdly, the product must not be allowed to freeze. Lesol Wash Soft costs $37 for 20 liters.

White BLS INTERNATIONAL

Another professional laundry product is White BLS INTERNATIONAL powder alkaline low-foam concentrate for white and light-colored items. Price for 5 kg of gel – $14. The cost is justified by the special formula of enhanced action, which allows:

• remove “strong”, old stains of any origin;
• excellent whitening;
• maintain whiteness and prevent graying and yellowing of fabric;
• economically spent;
• dissolve quickly;
• be completely washed out when rinsing.

It washes perfectly regardless of water temperature and hardness.

Among the disadvantages is an aggressive composition with surfactants, sulfates, enzymes and phosphonates. It also has a washing restriction - the product can only be used for machine washing. But the reviews note that the concentrate is ideal for hotels and restaurants, where it is necessary to quickly wash white and light-colored fabrics from organic contaminants.

Kelly Plex

Liquid professional laundry detergent from the domestic brand Kelly Plex also has mostly positive reviews. This is a universal product designed for washing white and colored laundry on an industrial scale. The product has many advantages.

1. Economically used.
2. Doesn't stay on clothes.
3. Does not contain harmful anionic surfactants and phosphates.
4. Does not cause increased foaming.
5. Suitable for children's underwear due to its hypoallergenic and safe composition.
6. Sold in containers of 5 liters in a special canister with a sealed lid.

Recommended for use in combination with Winter Premium bleach and Lynette Eco conditioner from Plex.

There are also limitations. Thus, the product is not used for hand washing, as well as for items made of wool, silk, down and other delicate materials. Some people are not satisfied with the price of $1 per liter.

Lotos PRO

The most budget option is the automatic powder “Lotos” from a domestic manufacturer. Its average cost is about $10 per 25 kg, which is significantly cheaper than similar professional products. It is sold only in bags, which makes it difficult to pour into the washing machine tray. The powder has the following advantages:

• Suitable for soaking, pre-wash and main wash;
• designed for all types of laundry;
• removes all types of stains;
• has a neutral aroma.

Can be used in household automatic machines.

But there are also many disadvantages. Most often, consumers indicate that a bag of powder is inconvenient to store and protect from moisture.. The unsafe composition did not go unnoticed, since the product contains anionic surfactants, silicates, optical brighteners and fragrances.

Professional washing powders are designed to quickly remove the most difficult stains, so it is not surprising that aggressive compounds are often found among them. The main thing is not to neglect additional rinsing and strictly follow the recommended dosage.
