Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Washing powder is firmly rooted in everyday life, almost completely displacing soap. In fact, a dry product is a concentrated complex of surfactants that dissolve pieces of fat, help fine dust and dirt move away from fabric fibers, and remove odors. However, not all powder products are equally effective and safe: modern people often have allergies to certain types of active substances, and not all products cope with different types of stains. The team analyzed popular powders for light garments, researched a range of gels for the care of light garments, and compiled a rating that included safe and effective products.
