Amway products are perceived by many as unique and highly effective. The brand offers several types of laundry detergents, including SA8™ Premium (washing powder concentrate), SA8™ (washing powder for colored fabrics), SA8™ Baby (baby washing powder), etc.
General characteristics of washing products "Amway"
The main characteristics of Amway powders are:
- mild, unobtrusive aroma;
- moderate foaming;
- safe composition and biodegradability;
- the presence of oxygen bleach;
- sparing attitude to tissues;
- economy in use;
- anti-scale effect.
For many housewives, the unobtrusive smell of Amway powder is an indisputable advantage. This quality is of considerable importance for people prone to allergies.
Another distinguishing feature of the product is moderate foaming. The last property does not cause enthusiasm for everyone, but does not prevent the full washing of things.
The manufacturer positions its products as biodegradable and environmentally friendly, although previously they did not contain harmless phosphates at all. In recent years, the company has given preference to the release of laundry detergents with the addition of more neutral components (phosphonates).
Many Amway powders are highly effective due to the oxygen bleach added to them. This allows you to wash things of varying degrees of soiling with the same quality. Manufacturers of powder products make sure that they do not damage the structure of the fabric during the washing process. In addition, after processing, the material is actively restored.
The cost-effectiveness of using the product is expressed in the following figures: in the process of washing 4.5-5 kg of moderately soiled laundry, 30-40 g of the product will be required. Moderately soiled items can be washed with 75 g. When washing by hand, add 20 g to 10 liters of water. The overall result - for six months of intensive washing, 3 kg of powder is enough in excess.
According to distributors, Amway laundry detergent does not pose a danger to sewer systems. It also prevents the formation of scale in washing machines and corrosion of metal elements of clothing (zippers, buttons, fasteners). This effect is observed due to the presence of a salt of silicic acid in it. In addition, all powders contain water softeners made from natural plant extracts.
During washing with all types of Amway powders, it is important to observe the temperature regime of the water. It should vary between 30-95 ° C.

Phosphate-free SA8 Laundry Concentrate took the 4th place in terms of the effectiveness of the application. In the final standings, Amway brand products took 17th place. Their price turned out to be higher than the cost of other popular powders created without the addition of phosphates.

A three-kilogram package of SA8 Color powder will cost the buyer within 1,775 rubles. Baby powder is a little more expensive - from 1355 rubles for 1 kg and 2130 rubles for 3 kg.
The opinion of specialists and buyers about Amway products
Like any famous product, Amway washing powders have a lot of diverse reviews from experts and customers. Among them, you can find both positive and negative. Summarizing the positive comments about the product, the following strengths of the detergent can be distinguished:
- pleasant design of branded packaging, complemented by a moisture-proof bag with powder and a measuring spoon;
- careful attitude to things, gentle effect on the skin of hands during hand washing, the ability to preserve and refresh the color of the fabric;
- high efficiency in removing scuffs, removing various contaminants, including old stubborn stains;
- lack of irritating effect, the ability to form scale and hypoallergenicity.
Reviews of experts primarily focus on the environmentally friendly side of Amway products. Buyers are also interested in the compliance of the declared qualities with the considerable cost of the goods.
When it comes to washing children's clothes, many parents are more comfortable with lower cost products such as Eared Babysitter or TEO Bebe.. Their composition is also harmless to children's health. In addition, Amway washing powder children's concentrate is not available in regular stores, like other products of this brand.
Negative reviews claim that the significant difference between the products of this brand and budget washing products is hardly noticeable. Buyers still consider the high cost of Amway products to be a significant disadvantage.
Some consumers note that machine washing is less effective than hand washing with soaking. In some cases, after applying the powder, white linen acquired a yellowish tint, while in others the spots did not disappear immediately.To completely eliminate them, it is often necessary to wash the product one more time.
To these and other similar claims, manufacturers find a simple answer - they offer the use of SA8™ TRI-ZYME Soak Booster Powder and Stain Spray. Little consolation is the fact that these funds also have a rather high cost - from 855 rubles.
Many do not recommend Amway powders for washing down jackets and jackets. Housewives argue that it is better to use liquid concentrates of the same brand for this purpose.
Most users agree that over the past few years, the Amway brand has lost its former position. Consumers point to the weakening of the main properties of the product after the manufacturer's refusal from phosphate additives. Many people notice that the use of powder leads to the appearance of white stains on things. In addition, in recent years it is required to use more funds. As a result, the number of washes per pack has been reduced, and at the same time, their cost has increased.
