If you choose the right powder for the washing machine, you can remove stains from any thing, including sweaters with added wool, as well as shoes or rugs. Before giving preference to a particular brand, carefully study the composition of the product and how to use it.
The detergent must be selected very carefully. If your family has allergies, use specially formulated powders. In extreme cases, wash with baby or household soap. Grate the soap, soak the clothes in a basin, and then use the cycle in the washing machine: rinse + spin.
If most things are colored, bleach-containing products will not work. It is ideal for delicate fabrics such as tulle, chiffon curtains. Clothes and blankets with a high wool content are best washed in a special cycle. If sweaters or blankets have a mixed composition, they can be washed with other clothes with ordinary powder.
Most detergents do their job well at a temperature of 30 degrees and with a cycle of no more than an hour. Grease stains with a brush. You can soak these things in advance, and then wash them normally. Stick to the recommended dose indicated on the package, it is more than enough.
The main disadvantage of the powder is its flowability. When you fall asleep, fine dust forms, which is a source of contact allergy. Pour the powder into a measuring cup, only then add to the machine compartment. Not every washing machine can wash it completely out of the tray. If this happens with your equipment, either change the powder, or pre-dissolve it in water.
The gel is somewhat more expensive, but it does much better with its purpose. It can also be dispensed with a measuring cup, and when a little money remains at the bottom of the bottle, add water and pour the rest into the machine!
Tablets are 25% more expensive than gel. Do not throw into the washing machine with her wet hands: the product will melt prematurely. But they cannot be dosed if you need to wash 1/2 of the machine load. For these purposes, use another tool.
