Review of German washing powders

A wide selection of washing products allows the housewife to choose the best option. Back in the distant 90s, people were limited to several types of such products, which were not of the best quality. Today, many can choose foreign-made products. The line of German washing powders has proven itself well.

Features of German products

Many domestic powders contain harmful surfactants and phosphates. Detergents manufactured and packaged in European countries do not contain these components. They introduced a ban on harmful substances in household chemicals long ago. European manufacturers took care of the composition of their powders.

An alternative to domestic products are German washing powders. They gained such popularity due to their properties. It is worth noting that the price of these detergents is much higher than those that can be found on the market. The composition also contains high concentration components. Because of this, their consumption is less compared to others.

Another feature of this product is that it is not widespread. You can't find it in every department of household chemicals. Such powders are sold in large hypermarkets. They can also be ordered online.

The following positive characteristics of the product are highlighted:

• do not cause allergic reactions;
• have a certificate confirming quality;
• do not cause irritation or dryness;
• suitable for sensitive skin;
• environmentally friendly;
• shades of fabrics are not washed out that way;
• meet European standards;
• give good results - many contaminants are removed at low water temperatures;
• economical in consumption due to the concentrated composition.

Tips for the user

In order for the purchased detergent to meet expectations, it is necessary to approach the issue of selection and use correctly. Here are some recommendations:

• For multi-colored items, do not use optical brightener (check the composition before washing);
• do not use for digestion;
• for severe stains, use a stain remover - this combination will give the best result;
• When washing wool or silk items, choose gels with a neutral pH (you need to check the composition for the absence of protease).

Reviews

In their comments, users mostly speak positively about the product. The following advantages were noted: does not cause allergies, has an unobtrusive odor, rinses well, is safe, washes well. Some disadvantages were also pointed out: few places sold and a higher price. It is also noted that gels do not cope with all stains.

Lyudmila Kravchenko, 37 years old, Ekaterinburg

Our family has been with TopHouse for several years. It removes dirt well, also dissolves and rinses well, and there is no sharp, intrusive odor after washing. Very economical consumption. It is important not to overdo the dosage so that there is not too much foam in the drum. In general, my impressions of this powder are good. Unfortunately, it can’t always be found in stores, and the price is a little steep.

Antonina Ivanova, 29 years old, Saratov

I’ll tell you about my experience using German Burti products. I bought it online on the advice of a friend. I am very glad that the washed items do not smell of chemicals. When washed by hand, it dissolves well in water. The consumption of the product on the packaging is a little high, I always add less. It removes dirt well, the main thing is to choose the right temperature.Another point that I liked is that it is suitable for processing the things of small children. I used to rinse and smooth the sliders almost 10 times, but now I’ve relaxed.

Tatyana Anatolyevna, 50 years old, Moscow

I've heard a lot of good things about German laundry detergents for a long time. I decided to buy Domal gel. The smell is pleasant, not pungent, the consistency is thick and the consumption is, accordingly, economical. Things do not smell of “caustic” chemicals, are soft to the touch, and do not lose their color. It washes outerwear well and carefully - not a single streak on the down jacket. I use it for knitted, dark items, and sneakers. But it doesn’t cope with wine and fruit stains. The gel, of course, is not cheap, but I was satisfied. I recommend trying it. True, you can’t find it everywhere.

Washing powders from Germany are hypoallergenic products that are economical and safe. They have won a lot of positive reviews among users. They are presented on the market in the form of a loose powder concentrate and a liquid gel.
