No scientific proof at all but it feels like washing powder does a much better job at removing stains than washing liquid.
It also seems more and more difficult to find washing powder in store as manufacturers are moving to liquid and even more a rip off - pods. Don’t get me started on these money spinners.
What is your experience and what works best?
There’s a guy on YouTube that covers this. Powders can contain bleach and cleaning agents in the same mix since they are dry. This gives the best of both worlds. With liquids, the two interact and break down the coach resulting in a poorer result. Pods can keep the components separate but why pay the extra? Something like that anyway. Personal experience is that liquids leave a funky buildup over time that you just don’t get with powders.
Yeah. Pods is no good because it all goes in at the smae time.
For optimal results have some powder in the chamber and in the machine for prewash
That guy is full of BS. There is a noticeable difference in dishwashing tablets as well. I tested cheap tablets after seeing his video and it left massive stripes.
He’s one of those cargo cult scientists trying to make you believe he’s smart while he’s not
You talking about TechnologyConnections? Cause damn, dude. “I tested cheap tablets and my results didn’t match his so he’s full of BS” is a wild take. He specifically talks about formulation being important in later dishwashing videos, not all detergents are created equally.
But I have had great results switching to the powder version of a name brand.
Yeah that guy. He basically went “all the fancy color soap does nothin and all dishwasher tablets are basically the same” but that is most definitely false.
If my results dont match his claim then his research sucks.
You’re missing at least 2/3rds, if not more, of his dishwasher saga. He addresses and validates people’s poor results, providing possible reasons for the differences including water quality, detergent quality, etc.
But no, he’s definitely full of BS. /s
It’s been a while but IIRC he says “turn up the heat that’s most important” but it really isn’t.
