Some people swear by powders, while others find them difficult to dissolve and often leave residue on clothes. Others prefer liquids because they're easier to measure out and don't require any stirring.
Sunlight 2in1 Auto Washing Powder is the best of both worlds - it dissolves quickly and easily, leaving no residue behind, but it's also gentle enough for all types of fabrics. Plus, the Sunlight range of machine-washing powders are available in a variety of fragrances, so you can choose the one that smells best to you.
We take a closer look at this range of washing powders, looking at the difference between auto powders and auto liquids. We also discuss the benefits of the Sunlight 2in1 Auto Washing Powder range and how to use it.
Washing powder vs washing liquid – what’s the difference?
It’s simple enough to understand that the main difference between washing powder and liquid detergent is the fact that one is in a powder form, and one is in a liquid form. However, what is the more intricate difference between these two types of laundry detergents?
Washing Powders are made from a range of ingredients including surfactants, silicates, anti-redeposition agents, enzymes, perfumes and optical brighteners and are formulated together into a powder form. The powder itself is formulated to dissolve in water when it is under the friction of pressure, such as spinning or movement.
Washing liquids contain very similar ingredients as powder, including surfactants, perfumes and optical brighteners and are, of course, formulated into a liquid form. Washing liquids dissolve immediately in water.
