It's often said that clothes don't wear out, they wear out in the washing. With the changing seasons, large quantities of clothes need to be washed. To avoid unnecessary waste, how do you choose between laundry soap, detergent powder, laundry detergent, and pods? How can you find the best product for your needs? Here's a simple guide to making smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable laundry choices.

Detergent Powder
Detergent powder is composed of a variety of chemical ingredients, primarily surfactants such as sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate, sodium alkyl sulfonate, and sodium fatty alcohol sulfate. Detergent powder is generally weakly alkaline, and combined with the addition of abrasives, it is highly effective in removing dirt and oil.
The downside is that its strong alkalinity can cause greater damage to clothing, and handwashing can cause some skin damage. Therefore, detergent powder is suitable for cleaning items that come into contact with dust, such as coats, jeans, down jackets, and sofa covers, as well as for less-damaged materials like cotton, linen, and synthetic fibers.

Laundry Soap
Laundry soap main ingredients are fatty acid salts, butylated hydroxytoluene, 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, fragrance, sodium chloride, and water. It effectively removes stubborn stains such as oil, sweat, blood, and milk, and is particularly effective on oily stains. Applying laundry soap directly to clothing exposes the stains to a higher concentration of active ingredients, achieving excellent stain removal results. However, its disadvantage is that it is not resistant to hard water. When exposed to the sodium and magnesium salts found in hard water, they form insoluble substances that accumulate in the crevices of clothing fibers, forming laundry soap scum, which can easily yellow and fade white and light-colored clothing. Laundry soap is suitable for cleaning difficult-to-wash items such as coats, pants, and socks.

Laundry Detergent
The main ingredients of laundry detergent are surfactants, builders, fragrances, and water. Functional laundry detergents may also contain functional ingredients such as bleach and antimicrobial agents depending on their properties. Laundry detergents have significantly better solubility than powdered laundry. When dissolved in water, they have a near-neutral pH, are gentle on the skin, are less irritating, and make rinsing easier. Their advanced technology also leaves laundry softer and fluffier. Laundry detergents are generally used for cleaning next-to-skin clothing and various fabrics suitable for cotton, linen, and synthetic fibers.
Precautions:
Separate dark and light colors when washing.
If contact with eyes occurs, rinse immediately with clean water and seek medical attention.
If swallowed, drink plenty of water and seek medical attention immediately.
Wear gloves when washing to prevent skin irritation or injury.
Store in a cool, dry place.

Laundry Pods
The ingredients of laundry pods are surfactants, water softeners, detergent builders, and enzymes. Laundry pods are an innovative laundry product, named laundry pods because of their bead-like appearance. Laundry pods are specially designed for machine washing, are pre-measured, easy and convenient to use, clean and tidy, and do not stain your hands. Their cleaning ability is similar to that of laundry detergent, and they are more environmentally friendly. Laundry pods are only suitable for machine washing and must be used with a washing machine. Kunyuan laundry pods have 99% antibacterial efficacy (effective against Gardnerella vaginalis and Propionibacterium acnes), 99% mite removal effect, 8 times the cleaning power, long-lasting fragrance, hygienic cleaning and shiny gloss, quick dissolution in 15 minutes, natural dual enzyme formula, and excellent stain removal effect (outperforms standard laundry detergent in terms of carbon black, protein, sebum, blood, milk and sweat stains).

When washing clothes in bulk, remember to sort them first. Pre-treat stubborn stains before adding them to the washing machine. Choose different detergents and wash cycles for different garments. Using a mesh laundry bag can reduce friction and achieve optimal washing results. The right laundry products should align with your clothing care needs, values, lifestyle, and washing equipment. Whether you prioritize convenience, environmental friendliness, or cost-effectiveness, there's a product that's right for you.
