Dry powder is being replaced by laundry capsules, which are easier to use, and the resulting effect is much better. Currently, they are produced by many manufacturers, while the pricing policy of products varies, which is confusing when choosing a product.
Advantages and disadvantages
To wash an automatic machine in a typewriter, a lot of products of different consistency have been invented. Gel capsules, which combine several actions at once, have a significant advantage.
Why you should pay attention to capsule powder:
- It is designed in such a way that it can tackle even the most difficult stains. The active substance is almost 2 times greater than what is contained in the dry product.
- There are no stains of detergent left on things.
- Most manufacturers combine washing powder with conditioner in one capsule, which allows you to save even the most delicate fabric during washing.
- One tablet contains just the right amount of product to thoroughly remove stains. Here you will not be able to overdo it with the remedy or not enough of it.This feature helps save powder.
- The agent is placed directly into the drum, so there is no loss of part of the powder due to washing it out of the specialized compartment.

Of course, with so many significant advantages, this type of detergent has some disadvantages that you should definitely consider when buying.
Disadvantages of use:
- do not take the capsule in your hands if they are wet, as its shell dissolves quickly, as a result of which it bursts;
- the product is available in bright colors, has an interesting shape, due to which it resembles a toy and is of high interest to young children; the housewife must make sure that the powder is stored in a hard-to-reach place, as the baby can swallow it;

Laundry capsules are very convenient in terms of dosage: the amount of liquid powder in them is clearly calculated and aimed at the best quality / cost per wash ratio.
Also a significant drawback is the price of this product, which is not always justified if inexpensive things are washed. In addition, the smell after the liquid form of the powder is more pronounced than after the dry one, so if there is a risk of an allergic reaction, it is better to refuse this remedy.Some housewives simply do not use tablets for washing bed linen, leaving only clothes fragrant.
